Blair has a good point...but you still have to give people the freedom to practice their own culture...within the confines of being equal.
That also means those same people who are given that right, must adhere to Canadian laws...and Canadian society.
Meaning Canada does not have to accept Sharia law for the Islamic fundies that are pushing for it.

But the problem is that IT IS NOT EQUAL over here.
Christians cannot wear a crucifix becuase it might offend a minority group yet muslim women can wear a burkha with full face covering because it might offend them if we told them otherwise. One muslim man was caught speeding the other day but he got away with it because he said he couldnt read the road signs. How is that a sign of one nation uner one rule. English people are being persecuted for being English and treated like second class citizens while our culture and society are being eaten away by a bunch of idiots who dont want to offend people - some of which don't want to embrace our culture.
Christmas is pretty much banned over here because it might offend someone. I am serious. Towns have been forced to remove decorations (although for other faiths the decorations were celbrated) cards cannot say "Merry Christmas", 'Happy Holidays' or 'Seasons Greetings' is preferred. It is total utter bollocks and is another case of this country going down the toilet quicker than you can say 'New Labour'. My favourite one was having a picture of reindeers pulling a sleigh - this was deemed inappropriate as it should have been a mix of different animals representing different faiths!!! Also the three wise men had to be 2 wise men and a wise woman in order to avoid sexism. The government are so concerned with someone being upset by seeing something that they are changing everything we know. It is just so sad that this once great country is now forcing 1 in 10 people to leave. There will be nothing left to save if it continues. I hate it.
Blair is a complete liar and nothing he says should ever be believed because we have all seen his track record.
