Canada has an unenviable record as one of the first "adopters" or indeed initiators of many of the looney toooone manifestation of political correctness and multiculturalis-gone-mad we see in the world today!
French influence????
Here's a perfect example of loony tooones at work

Miss Universe against law July 20, 2005 From: Agence France-Presse
Legal issues ... Miss Universe Natalie Glebova was forced to remove her sash in Toronto / AFP CANADIAN Miss Universe Natalie Glebova was forced to take off her official sash at a local festival celebrating Thailand when Toronto authorities invoked a law against sexual stereotyping.
The winner of the international beauty competition held in Bangkok in May, Glebova was to open the festival last weekend sporting her official beauty queen's regalia. However, city employees invoked a regulation against activities which degrade men and women through sexual stereotypes or exploit their bodies to attract attention.
Bowing to the local law, the 23 year old blue-eyed brunette was made to remove her Miss Universe sash, though not without complaint.
"I definitely don't think that the Miss Universe title is any kind of stereotype or sexual stereotype," said Russian-born Glebova, a graduate of the University of Toronto.
Officials of the Miss Universe organisation were also unhappy.
"It's a strict reading of the by-laws," Paula Shugart, president of the organisation, said.
"According to those conditions, a beauty contest cannot even be held in Toronto", Shugart said
