"That's two of us to shut the doors!"
and two of us to s--- our drawers!"

Canada suddenly has its first hijab-wearing news anchor on commercial television.
"For me, it's just a step forward in my career," Ginella Massa, who jumped at the chance to fill a vacant anchor chair at the CityNews network in Toronto last Friday night, tells The Hollywood Reporter. But when Massa ended the 11 p.m. newscast just before midnight and checked in with her assignment editor, they agreed that Canada also had taken an even bigger leap forward for diversity.
"He said, 'Was that a first?' And I said, 'Yes, I think it was,' to have a woman in a hijab anchor the news in Canada," she recalls. So Massa marked her career milestone on her Twitter account and on Facebook, where she wrote: "That's a wrap! Thankful to have opportunities like this at a time when there is so much hate and vilifying of Muslims."
Her smartphone hasn't stopped buzzing since. "People started to go, 'Wow, that's amazing that we haven't already had this in Canada,'" she adds. Massa hopes this is the last time Canadians do a double-take over her religious headscarf.
"It shouldn't be a big deal," she says. But Massa wearing a hijab hosting a major network newscast has become a big deal in the wake of Donald Trump's U.S. presidential win.
A backlash online was immediate, if only from a vocal minority.
"Hatred does exist. I've seen it firsthand: on my Twitter timeline, in the comment sections of articles written about me," says Massa, suddenly finding herself in unchartered terrain for broadcasters. She adds the square of cloth covering her head is far more than a fashion statement.
It's a symbol of faith, deeply personal, and yet outwardly showing on air.

Well,there are a lot of French Canadians to give up without a fight.
Re - The photo of the full-burka or hijab or whatever it’s called. It seems to me that the outfit is actually a rebuke against God for making the human female as she is. God screwed it up so badly that his work must be entirely covered up. That is the message sent by that costume.
It’s because Muzzie males have the mentality of a 15 year old boy and the self control of a male dog getting the scent of a female in heat!
During WWII in Quebec there was a lot of harassment of non-Catholics and outright abuse of conscientious objectors.

Don’t care. At all. Is she advocating sharia law? If not, just another “token” who will cause the network to lose viewership.
meanwhile in new york, American women wear rags around their necks
Just wait for their ratings to soar when they get her co-anchor up there: a black man in shackles.
The Canadian elite have been promoting this for years. Their CBC had a show “Little Mosque on the Prairie” running for a few years as part of their boiling frog maneuvers on the populace.
The day a man has to wear a head covering in public 24/7, give me a call.
Don’t need to watch that network anymore.
Replace the word hijab with ‘suicide vest’ and you will have a more descriptive title.
Does she speak proper Canadian?
Too many clothes, too much chance for infection.

“It’s a symbol of faith, deeply personal, and yet outwardly showing on air.”
Would she be willing to tell us when she had a clitorectomy? If not why not??
First, hijab.
Next, KKK hood.
Some airhead girl a few years ago had become Muslim &
reveled in her hijabs of all different colors with shoes
dyed to match. Her parents were Christian. I can’t remember
how they reacted; but I suspect they’d spoiled her butt.
I’ll bet that once she marries a Muslim man and becomes
his “property”, the hijabs will quickly become black and
the made-up face COVERED with a TOTAL COVERING. She painted
a real “colorful” picture of Islam.
