1. Re: Editorial

I will feel more sympathetic to Canadians' support of Palestinian Canadians visiting Israel when they are also
concerned about the rights of Canadian Jews visiting Gaza and many of the Arab states.

2. Re: Multiculturalism

The interesting article by Daniel Stoffman fails to distinguish between Canadian values and customs. Canada should view and absorb a variety of foreign customs with immigration, but our values and laws should be adopted by new immigrants. Unlike most dress codes and eating habits, cockfighting, polygamy, and female circumcision are all contrary to important Canadian laws and values. They are customs that we neither want nor admire.
