WOW! A town which publicly publishes its codes and standards, and sends to potential immigrants to read before they move there! Since this story broke four days ago, the town, located just under 200 kilometers north of Montréal, has received over 2,000 e-mails, 99% in support of the initiative. Here are some of the codes and standards listed in the pamphlet, eh:
- It is forbidden to stone women, burn them alive, throw acid on them or circumcise girls.
- Consumption of alcohol is common in Herouxville, as is dancing. “At the end of every year, we decorate a tree with balls and tinsel and some lights. This is normally called ‘Christmas decorations’ or also ‘Christmas tree.’ “
- Boys and girls swim together in public pools.
- Veils are not welcome. “The only time you may mask or cover your face is during Halloween.”
Take THAT, multi-cultural enthusiasts. There’s more...lots more, eh.
