Women sometimes make choices that put their family first over their careers

getting things done like pipelines built or streamlining of regulations -

14. Sharia Law and M103
“Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law
that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate
crime without even defining Islamophobia or
demonstrating that it is a phenomenon
requiring legal action. After first passing a
motion that condemns Islamophobia, last
month, Iqra Khalid, a Member of Parliament
(MP) from the governing Liberals, tabled
Motion M-103 in the House of Commons. The
motion demands that Islamophobia be treated
as a crime without even bothering to define the
offense.”

Sharia Law / Canada
“’ll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law,” Thompson said
then. “The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law
and this is not a joke. Why? Because Sharia Law is simply the
way Muslims are doing things.”
“The Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to
regulate their own issues….to solve their problems amongst
themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on
the court system which is already so bogged down.
“The government told us – we would like you to have this
system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with
you.”
