As those who discuss these issues openly and honestly are experiencing, even Google has become obsessed with restricting discussions about cultural issues, particularly if those discussions concern Islam. Given that issues related to Islam constantly appear on the front pages of our newspapers and are the top stories in other media, it\u2019s a discussion that simply cannot be avoided or evaded. Yet that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s being attempted.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s province of <strong>Quebec has surprisingly done the Right thing when it passed Bill 62<\/strong>, described by columnist Barbara Kay as a \u201creligious neutrality law which will ban face covers in the giving and getting of public services.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Seen as an affront to Muslims, Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne (fully supported by Progressive Conservative Patrick Brown) responded to the passage of Quebec\u2019s Bill 62 in Ontario\u2019s legislature:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we believe that difference is actually our strength, then we do the work to understand each other and not just tolerate each other, but love each other because of our differences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the sheer falsity of her claim that \u201cdifferences\u201d represent \u201cstrength,\u201d as a political statement, demanding \u201clove\u201d is both offensive and immoral.<\/p>\n<p>While pretending to speak about cultural and racial \u201cdifferences\u201d (meaningless collectives around which artificial group rights can be created), what Wynne is really talking about are the \u201cdifferences\u201d between Left and Right, real differences that all Leftists \u201cwork\u201d to hide behind their \u201c<strong>virtue signaling<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself a simple question: What can governments and bureaucracies possibly do that would be considered \u201cwork\u201d with regard to ensuring that we all \u201clove each other because of our differences?\u201d Well, one recent example would be the<strong> Toronto District School Board busily expunging the word \u201cchief\u201d from its lexicon on the grounds that the word is offensive to aboriginals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sorry, chief. That\u2019s not \u201clove.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already \u201cdone the work\u201d and \u201cunderstand\u201d that the Left is utterly incompatible with anything that\u2019s Right. The totalitarianism, tyranny, and artificially created group rights of the Left are utterly incompatible with the freedom, democracy, and true individual rights of the Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is no \u201cunity\u201d possible between Left and Right.<\/strong> Any attempt at such can only take the form of one side defeating the other. Small wonder that the Left, which does everything it can to hide its own true identity, is also supportive of legally protecting face coverings in public. After all, hidden identities are a great \u201cstrength\u201d to those with something to hide.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a stark and refreshing contrast to Ontario\u2019s Kathleen Wynne, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard \u2013 ironically another Liberal \u2013 says: <strong>\u201cWe are in a free and democratic society.
