The argument I've often heard--I don't agree with the argument, but I want you to answer it yourself--is that western countries such as Canada have to avoid engaging in issues that are really at the heart of some of the debates under way in the culture of your own country, and that it would be wise for us not to engage in those.
I don't agree with that argument, but I would like to give you a chance to respond to it. I think it's an argument that we have to deal with.
