There's been some good comments but also some pretty broad, sweeping ones that simply can't just be implemented based on our current system of government and policy generation. For example, how on earth would we just be able to "cut immigration"? How on earth could you just disregard another country's rejection for a criminal when your deporting an immigrant back to their country of origin? The international community would have a field day with that one because as time goes on our world becomes increasingly globalized and Canada also needs other countries too sometimes. If Canada didn't let anyone immigrate I'm pretty sure there'd be some retaliation, no? Not to mention the insane damage to our reputation as a nation.
Maybe I don't think this is as big an issue as some are making it out to be. People talk about honour killings, but is this actually happening (serious question)? If it is, I'm pretty sure murder laws here trump however much some guy wants to honour kill another human. Somebody hit the nail on the head that the real solution is universal understanding and acceptance across ALL communities to bridge the differences, but by our very human nature, this will never happen. There will always be good people, bad people, sick people, happy people, ignorant people, smart people... there will always be different people who believe different things. One of those things- is whether or not to live harmoniously. People are inherently driven towards increasing their power and status... that's what capitalist societies require, so you're always going to have this problem. And actually, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to be honest... because our society works pretty good, doesn't it?
