In their infinite wisdom, the Quebec government said, hey, you know, here's a great idea.

There was a 1997 civil war between the Algerian government and hardcore extremist Muslims.

The latter lost, so they were fleeing from getting killed by the Algerian government.

The decapitations will happen only when they say bonjour to you.

So given that they will address you in French before they behead you, don't worry about it, let them all in.

I'm obviously being facetious, but the point is that hundreds of thousands of Islamic immigrants came to Quebec

I started seeing the changes, a lot more women in hijabs, a lot more dangerous to go to campus, a lot more requirements for accommodations, prayer rooms, public prayer.

When you say dangerous, in what way?

The first set of death threats I got were in 2017, where for that semester, I had to follow a protocol to walk on campus with security.
