Quebec town to immigrants: you can’t kill women

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Immigrants wishing to live in the small Canadian town of Herouxville, Quebec, must not stone women to death in public, burn them alive or throw acid on them, according to an extraordinary set of rules released by the local council.

The declaration, published on the town’s Web site, has deepened tensions in the predominantly French-speaking province over how tolerant Quebecers should be toward the customs and traditions of immigrants.

“We wish to inform these new arrivals that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their countries of origin cannot be recreated here,” said the declaration, which makes clear women are allowed to drive, vote, dance, write checks, dress how they want, work and own property.

Park Your Plane

When I was a kid I use to listen for my dad’s car to drive up as he came home from work.  I would immediately stop whatever I was doing and great him and carry his breifcase inside because I liked helping dad.

This picture of John Travolta’s house made me think of that memory, I’m sure the kids won’t have any trouble hearing dad pull up in his jet.
