I literally don't care.
The bill you cited doesn't ban foreign funding to religious institutions within the country. I didn't say anything about foreign preachers, I specifically said foreign funding to religious institutions within the country... which is what you quoted. These are two different things.
Doesn't mean anything if it's not enforced. Case in point:

Cringe. Also, assimilation and multiculturalism don't contradict each other. In fact you can't have multiculturalism without a degree of assimilation. A country that exists as nothing more than collection of ethnic and cultural enclaves that don't even bother to uphold a common identity, is not a country. You need an overarching culture and identity that all these groups assimilate to have a sense of social cohesion.
At least we agree on something.
Multiculturalism is just the idea that a bunch of cultures can coexist together in the same country. Both the melting pot and the mosaic are different implementations of multiculturalism. The only difference is that the melting pot as a concept encourages different cultures to interact and mix to create something more unified while the mosaic encourages cultural segregation and isolation. One is clearly better than the other.
That's fair, the police should always stand in support of the victims until the due process is carried out and the justice system does it's thing regardless of how public the case is. The criminals and the victims should not receive similar treatment from cops, as I have very extensively explained and evidenced with the Rotherham case in the UK which you have conveniently ignored because you can't come up with a rebuttal for it.
That's a separate issue. Just because such an issue exist, that doesn't invalidate or delegitimize this issue.
I would take it a step further, on top of making them follow the provincial curriculums, I would hold the schools with repeated violations accountable by suspending their licenses to teach.
Sex segregation is a very big part of islam. It's more common than you think.
https://mua.ca/about-us/ (this is an actual school in Canada that openly advertises gender segregation)

This is unfortunately way more common than you think.
It's more of upholding current principles and policies rather than adding new ones. It's becoming increasingly more common for things like defacing the quran, drawing pictures of mohammad, criticizing islamic scriptures, calling out islamic traditions like how mohammad raped a 9 year old girl, or calling certain aspects of islamic culture like gender segregation and homophobia are being labeled as islamophobic or hate crimes and are being shut down. There's obviously some people who do some actions that does cross the line and become hate crimes, but the things that I listed are not those things.
Yippie, we agree on two things in a list of things that should be common sense.
Yeah... no, I'm thinking something more along the line of the FBI tips system where anyone can easily find and file report about potentially dangerous individuals or groups to the FBI so they can at least investigate it. As far as I'm aware Canada does not have anything that's similar to that.
Clearly there's a lot of room for improvement considering how this incident just happaned.
