I've watched CBC's Interrupt: Jakarta.....and it's surprising to see a show of this kind to come out from the CBC (of all media)! It's a must-see!
The documentary enhances the other agenda (feminism and LGBTQ).....at the expense of the other thing that's dear to Justin Trudeau's heart.

The message by these artists are blunt. These struck me:
"This religious fundamentalism is gaining momentum, and it's mainstreaming.
It's like pollution because it's all around us and we inhale it everyday, we don't realize how bad it is for us and how it's killing us.
Before, we were afraid of the government censoring us. Now, we are afraid of fellow-citizens reporting us to the police for offending them.....for offending their religion....it's a public censorship basically. Civilians censoring civilians."
The motion for Islamophobia is basically a foot in the water. "It's just a motion!" supporters say. Really? What for? Why do we waste time and taxpayers' money on a motion, if it's not something significant?
That's how these atrocious things start.

"The most striking scene I've seen in Jakarta this time is how many women here are wearing the Muslim hijab. Ten years ago, we didn't see much. The social pressure is getting bigger and bigger."
Young Trudeau's stance on the niqab/burqa issue supports and enables this social pressure.
Anyone who support it are not women champions - they're enablers for oppression!
You can't claim to champion women and yet at the same time, close your eyes to burqas and niqabs.
You can't wash your hands and say that it's a woman's choice to wear a burqa or a niqab.
What these artists had observed and revealed, should open our eyes wider to what's happening around us now.
