A small town in Canada - H’rouxville - has reportedly asked those who wear niqabs or carry kirpans (a ceremonial weapon carried by the Sikhs) to stay away and not settle there. The town has a meagre population of 1338. A sign at the town’s entrance reads: "H’rouxville welcomes you. Unless, that is, you plan on stoning a woman to death, sending your children to school with a kirpan or covering your face other than on Halloween.
"The town council of H’rouxville has adopted a declaration of ‘norms’ that the would-be immigrants need to be aware of before they settle there. Among them, it is forbidden to stone women or burn them with acid. Children cannot carry weapons to school, including kirpans, even though the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Sikhs can carry kirpans in schools. The declaration says that female police officers in H’rouxville, 165 km from Montreal, can arrest male suspects, and women are free to drive, dance and make decisions on their own.
"We’re telling people who we are. I asked myself, ‘How is it that these people can ask for such things? "And the only possible answer is that these people do not know who we are," The Mail quoted H’rouxville councillor Andr’ Drouin as saying.He added that the more accommodations are made for minorities, the greater the divide. "One of these days you will have (many divided) groups in Canada and groups in Canada, or groups in any country, doesn’t make a country."

That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Let's see how long it lasts.
I also hope that everybody reads this article too. However, my hope is that the jerks who live in this town and have come up with these rules can be identified and labeled as the racists that they
are.
To the person who wrote above refering to the people of this small town as racisits I would pose this. If their tradition is not to carry weapons, and to hold the beliefs they do and to which they wish to apply to their own hometown... and you, who by tradition of your religion carry a weapon (regardless of its symbolism to you) accuse them of being racist or intolerant. I think perhaps you should give your head a shake and think a little deeper. Respect for culture is not a one way street... and when you are the new kid on the block trying to impose your beliefs on the existing neigbours... and ask yourself how you would react in their place.
LETS NUKE THE TOWN...
"New Kid on the Block"?!? That small town is part of a bigger picture called CANADA! If this country allows us to carry our beliefs and our religious symbols then who is this town to say "No". We are not doing something illegal and those residents shall be more tolerant of others' beliefs.
i agree with the the comment... but i also agree with rsb...
Such declaration by the town is full of racism and federal government should not support them and do the needful, to prove that CANADA IS LAWFUL SOCIETY. All Canadians are not friendly and many are racist and it is proved here in this town.
This would be a good city for women to escape from in-laws who follow tradition too closely, and possible return to their cosmopolitan existence in Canada.
Come on Canada! or you small towners!
I would like to say that Canada is a multicultural country..having a culture of its own...we are loved by all countries, thats why everyone wants to live here....
Its the land of freedom and choice...the choice to live as you please ...following certain rules of course.
But realistically is Niqabs and kirpans going to affect people in a town....let me guess these are the people are those who dont have a cultural background.
People have a choice to live how they please...
If niqabs or kirpans arent allowed....then all religious icons should be banned including crosses...
People hate because of religion... what if there was no religion would people love each other... isnt it written somewhere thou shall not hate...isnt it a sin to hate.. hate = unpure heart or evil.
Come on Canada lets all be lovers not haters...
If people can accept canada as being multicultural then...these people are in the wrong country or more so on the wrong planet....
Are you sure these residents of that town arent followers of hitler?
God had a plan...a test to bring about numerous religions in the world... he is playing a game ...testing to see if we would all get a long or not...but as humans we are failing his test ...
If there was a child molestor moving to the town...yeah make it a big deal but if there is a sweet lil lady with a niqab moving to the town what is she going to do try fitting in ...
Wow that’s the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life. Why does a town think they can all of a sudden ban any religious item if the country in which it resides allows them? Imagine if the residents of another small town which was full of Indians and Muslims decided to ban crosses and no other religious items... You would see the first page of the big newspapers in Canada blasting the city about the "racist" rule. How can people be so ignorant, I wish I lived closer to that town I would give them a piece of my mind...
I think the comments as such promoting weopons and the communties as such destroys the nation and one of the draw backs of the true democratic society, whereby some communities can break the law and abuse the system. Even the supreme courts and the legal system are caught up in the recklessness of ignoring the safety and harmony over politics and rights of stuborn selfish communities.
They better change in curtaiing this before the nation is run by the goons and the beauty of our GREAT NATION. The fathers of the confederation did not mean in the constitution the rights to carry weapons as the constitutional right. Had they had known that these are the issues the modern world would create I am sure they woould have protected the nation with certain clause that would have avoided curtain communiteis not to abuse and destroy the nation in the name of liberty and their rights.
I have to say that i am severly angered that you people are saying they are racised. To all you saying that they are racised for banning kirpans and niqabs that could be possibly used as a weapons should look yourself in the mirror and slap yourself in your smug faces. Who are these people who say its racised for A town not wanting some 12 year old kid walking around a school where there children attend with a 20 inch dagger around there waist. Think to your self for just a minute, The people who are really being racist are the people who move this town and think they can just screw there traditions and beliefs. Whats happening to canada is what i like to call reverse racism. All of canada is so focused on being tolerant to people is causing them to act like its us who did something wrong. In my neighborhood if you so much as say that someone is brown in skin color youll get a mob of like 20 mini terroists after you, yyes thats right, i said mini terrorists. And i have a right to call them that, I called oneperson brown instead of "East indian" and 20 people harrass me every day about how im racised, they call me cracker and white trash. Next time one of these mini terrosist decide to terrorize me im going to beat the living Crap out of them. And to tell you the truth i have been threatened with a Kirpan. Know what the police said to me when i said this. That i was just trying to get them in trouble cause im racised. That word is overused in todays society, every where i go, you can be called racised for the smallest comments. For example saying that all the cab drivers in the past month ive seen have been brown. I get constantly threatened with knife.
I was told the politicaly correct term for ethnic minorities now is "racialy challenged", to me this is just as offencive as any other slur yet when I was in California people were using it and I even overheard some Vancouver police officers in a Tim Hortons say it when they saw some Black crack dealers out in the parking lot. No wonder they are crack dealers with people saying things like that!
