Do you claim that Bill 27 was not about sharia?

Sure it was about Sharia. But it was also in a provincial legislature. That's not what you said:

".. their Parliament would vote to allow sharia ..."

So my beef with you is two-fold.

1. Parliament is our electoral assembly at the NATIONAL level; legislatures are the provincial equivalent.
And Parliament has NEVER voted to allow sharia law.

2. You used that vote to generalize against all Candians. Would you expect us to extrapolate a bill passed in, say, liberal Massachusetts, to represent the views of the whole USA?
Sweeping generalizations are lazy and sloppy.

**But I will give you credit, though, for spelling "Parliament" correctly - not everybody knows that one!
