This Will Make Leftists' Heads Explode

The city [Toronto] should neither help nor encourage these people to stay, argued Mr. Minnan-Wong, who asked city council to support the federal government’s approach to legal immigration, and endorse deporting people who are in the country illegally. 

“They are an insult to every immigrant who played by the rules to get into this country,” he said. “It sends a message to the world that it is OK to break the law to come to Canada, and it says that the city of Toronto is an accomplice to this lawbreaking.”

Cue exploding leftist heads.

Followed by this:

City council shot down Mr. Minnan-Wong’s request, and instead took steps designed to help people living in Toronto illegally without legal status feel more comfortable accessing city services.... City staff will report back later this year on ways to “improve access without fear”.

Is this what our society has come to -- making people who are here illegally "more comfortable"? What's next: making people who don't pay their Toronto municipal taxes "more comfortable" by assuming they have good reasons for not doing so?

The question is not, "is this a good idea?". The question is, "can a society that acts this way survive?".

The West's Death Wish: Wiccan, Pagan holidays at University of Missouri

The first holiday on the list is the Hindu two-day festival celebrating the birth of Krishna, a god considered to be a “warrior, hero, teacher and philosopher.” During the observance, which occurs on Aug. 28 this year, Hindus are likely to forgo sleep in order to, among other things, sing traditional songs.

“Avoid scheduling major academic deadlines on this day, since it is likely that students will be operating on very little sleep,” the guide continues.

Other holidays like Ramadan, Rosh Hashanah and Easter are included in the guide of 43 holidays with varying degrees of suggested accommodations to be granted to students at the 34,000-student public university in Columbia. 

To downgrade Easter to the status of a Wiccan or Hindu holiday is to deny 2,000 years of Western history. Here's the question: by the time the West finishes clear-cutting its culture in the name of relativism, appeasement and guilt, will there be anything left worth saving?
