Mayor Naheed Nenshi wants Canadian cities to start thinking about how to better welcome newcomers to Canada.
In an address at Memorial University in St. John’s, Calgary’s Mayor commented on the idea of a secularism charter in Quebec, saying it is social suicide.
Nenshi condemned a Parti Quebecois plan that would allow crucifixes and other necklaces but put a limit on wearing religious headwear.
The mayor offered praise for St. John’s, but the Calgary Herald reports he expressed concern that a cabbie from Iran he had met the night before did not feel a part of the community.
Nenshi says something has to change.
