No fan of Kenney, but I really wonder what his approach here would have been in comparison to Smith. Would it have been similar or the same as Smith currently, or more similar to Doug Ford’s approach?

Personally as someone who is fairly left-wing, I feel like that religious tolerance is acceptable since around the world we see what religious intolerance tends to lead to. With Islam, it just so happens that a lot of countries that are in crisis currently are countries where there are significant Muslim populations, and that fact can be owed heavily to U.S. interventionism among other things of course.
I grew up in an area where we had a heavy Muslim population. I’m non-religious myself, my direct family is non-religious as well, but I did also have a spot in my teen years where I was very much Christian. While I do have my thoughts on religion and it’s place (or rather, lack of place in my personal opinion) in the world, I think forcing people to comply with being secular is just as bad as forcing secular people to be religious.
The path forward I believe is engagement between religions, as well as between the religious and non-religious. Even though I consider myself agnostic, I did go to an Iftar dinner at a synagogue the other day as a special interfaith dialogue event, and it went great. Allowing ourselves to learn about others also allows others to learn about us, to which people can be swayed towards secularism if we respectively bring up why we believe what we do and what we perceive as flaws in religions that we learn about.

Not Conservative myself, but if there’s like a petition or something I’m more than willing to cross lines in supporting this call since this is just vile.
And the 70% who don’t are doing… what exactly?

But when Ottawa insiders shut me out of the Conservative nomination, I knew I couldn’t stay silent. I’m running to give this community back its voice,”
Bro calls out insiders after wanting to become an insider, more at 11.
I’d have a lot more respect if he ran as an independent from the get-go regardless of his politics, but nope. Surprise! The party that wants to backstab it’s constituents wants to backstab people who fall slightly out of line.
I don’t know man, must be really easy to not have to worry about your fucking country getting annexed, but that’s the problem I gotta put in the effort of combating because y’all hardly seem to do anything but complain about things when they’re bad rather than actually DO something about it.
OH woe is you, typical Americans, thinking that someone whose country is under threat by the one they live in is so much easier than already living in said country. Makes me wonder how many Germans in WWII looked at Poland being invaded whilst talking about how easy it was for Poles to judge them from outside borders.
Binzy_Boi@feddit.onlineto World News@lemmy.world•End of an era for Canada-US ties, says Carney, as allies worldwide decry Trump’s car tariffsEnglish161·3 months agoGood. What this should do is also invigorate our economy and have us explore alternatives that we can produce here. Even before this nonsense I was worried about our heavy dependence on the U.S., but here we are now with it punching us in the gut.
Federal government should really give funding boosts to greenhouse farms right about now so that we can grow more stuff here out of season and not import from say, California all the time.
They never seem to be there. All Americans ever seem to be is talk.
All these dumb excuses for constant inaction to the point where other fucking countries have to clean up their mess. I’m frustrated to the point that I want to see a policy implemented saying that if you didn’t vote in the last election (assuming you were eligible to do so), you don’t get entrance since you’d be more of a burden as someone who can’t perform their civic duty
