Oh boy you really need to read up on current events and history if you think Canada is some kind of femenist utopia
I'm not under any illusions there, but it's a lot better than India for example which is the largest immigrant group in my area.
I know how sexist rednecks and how many of them there are in small towns. And it's not okay either. But I see no reason to bring in more men with sexist attitudes.
Sexism is already a problem we're actively dealing with in Canadian society. We're going to keep dealing with it, immigrants or not, until it's no longer a problem (hopefully sooner than later). You're acting like we're just letting them be sexist when in your own examples they keep getting fired for their unacceptable behaviour. Eventually, everyone from "sexist immigrants" to "sexist rednecks" are going to learn what is and isn't accepted in Canadian society.
None of this rhetoric actually supports your racist, anti-immigrant attitude. We're neither importing a new problem, nor are we allowing immigrants to break our social contract without facing appropriate consequences.
