The CPC would like you to believe they support women but in reality they take pride in deporting women into the arms of their oppressors and murderers.

Harper’s zero tolerance for women

From barbaric cultural practices and honour killings to the long gun registry, the feds are turning their backs on women trapped in dangerous situations

I had to laugh last week when Chris Alexander, Stephen Harper’s minister of citizenship and immigration, barked something about “barbaric acts” being imported into Canada.

 

Not because I found his proposed Zero Tolerance For Barbaric Cultural Practices Act funny, although it may well top the list of Orwellian names for legislation introduced by the Conservatives.

It’s because murdering a woman, whether she didn’t have supper on the table after he was out drinking with the boys, whether she talked back, whether she packed up the kids and left, is already against the law in Canada.

Statistics show that these are among the reasons most women who are killed by their partners. They disobeyed. They disrespected. They departed. They “dishonoured.”

Femicide is femicide whether you’re brown or white.

But not to this government, which sees so-called “honour killings” as somehow different from the 70 or so annual murders of women by their partners here every year. In fact, this is a government not particularly open to women fleeing from gender violence in their home countries.

As Alexander, who as recently as September had deported at least two women into jeopardy, one with a Canadian-born daughter, thundered, “With this bill, we would be standing up for immigrant women who have come to Canada for a better life.”
