Shariah rampant in Canada...gender segregation at Montreal swimming pools


Let us send a big Thank You note to Jason Kenney our present Minister of Immigration and also thank all the Liberal party Immigration Ministers before Kenney took the helm of the Immigration Dept who are largely responsible for the deterioration of Canadian culture and the breakdown of  equality and freedom in this great nation.

What is truly flabbergasting about this item, is that this has been going on for 16 years and was at the request of  both Muslim and Jewish citizens.

From the CBC:
Gender-segregated swimming sessions at the Côte-des-Neiges sports centre have come under fire after an official complaint was filed with the borough.

Every Sunday, an hour is set aside for women-only swimming and another hour for men at the public swimming pool. The borough implemented the sessions 16 years ago at the request of some of its Muslim and Jewish citizens.

The complaint, filed by an unidentified woman, has since been supported by the Council on the Status of Women and Quebec Secular Movement.

May Khalifa, a Ville St-Laurent resident who comes to the pool during the segregated hours, told CBC Montreal's Daybreak that her religion and culture prevent her from swimming with men.

"I shouldn't wear a swimming suit in front of men - it's my culture," she said.

But Bernard Drainville, the provincial minister for democratic institutions, doesn't think gender-segregrated swimming times should be allowed.

"We think that this infringes on the equality of rights between men and women - which is a value that is widely shared by Quebecers," he said.

"It was not always the case that men and women were equal in this society. This is something that is now a given."....
