Should anyone really be surprised given that Stephen Harper, Jason Kenny, Peter Van Loan and all the Con's running this great nation of ours are extremist, right wing, ideologies based on intolerance.
As Van Loan once said “The professor has a different philosophy than us,”
Likely the reason Kenny had:
"noting that homosexuality was decriminalized in 1969; that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation; and that same-sex marriage was legalized nationally in 2005. "
taken out is so when Harper and the Con's reverse these rights and freedoms they would only have to re-do the study guide for immigrants applying for Canadian citizenship. They have to look like they are doing something to reduce this record setting deficit.
In this era of environmental consciousness and human rights it simply would not be right (morally, that is) to suggest its 'book burning time' (besides that's such a extremist, right wing, intolerant ideologue, thing to do anyway) - so . . . it book 're-cycling time'.
In fact, it's government re-cycling time, don't you think.
