Caroline Elliott: A Canadian values test sounds pretty good right about now

It seems a long time ago now that Conservative leadership contender Kellie Leitch was lambasted by politicians of all stripes for proposing to screen prospective immigrants for “anti-Canadian values.”

Leitch’s policy was based on her belief that there was such thing as a unified Canadian identity, including “equality of opportunity, hard work, giving back to the community, equality of men and women, as well tolerance for all religions, cultures, and sexual orientations, and the rejection of violence as a way to solve problems.”
