It's a fake, no truth in it at all. In fact, it began its (fake) existence in Belgium and some enterprising soul decided to "emigrate" it to Canada.

Sorry, Rob, you'll have to look elsewhere for an excuse for a little Muslim bashing.

WAY TO GO QUEBEC........
MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU... EXPLAINS WHY
Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of
a Montreal suburb.
The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town clerk
sent a note to all parents to explain why...
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its
customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose
to immigrate.
“They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in
Quebec.
“They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not
the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic,
they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not
true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up
their identity, their culture.
“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who
welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its
Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals,
religion must remain in the private domain.
The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and
Sharia.
“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in
Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them
under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in
accordance with Sharia.
“If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries,
it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than
elsewhere.
“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada
than where you come from?”
“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”

It looked like so many other topical chain email messages I've deleted that I figured it for Snopes bait.
Many of these start as a bit of factual core and get piled up into a statement piece for someone's agenda. This one is less pointedly anti-FITB than most I see.

So you believe that America must accommodate every emigre? Well in that case I'll have single payer thank you. They really are making similar demands here in Maryland, we even have one who drives wearing a bourka.

No, just Quebec.

To repeat, Rob, IT WAS A FAKE . Nobody demanded that pork be removed from the school menu or any other menu.... anywhere.

Really? Got evidence? Then why didn't you mention that one instead of a 2 year old internet hoax?

Actually, it was a niqab which doesn't cover the eyes, not a burqa which does. And she was ticketed so it's probaby only true to say that she drove wearing a niqab.

Actually it was a bourka I saw her at the Leisure World mall on Georgia Ave. The image may be planted still in my memory but no way to post a link.

Regardless, it's illegal and there is no campaign to change that. You can't take one person's idiotic decision and declare it a "movement".
