In Regina, Sask., Germantown (an area full of Eastern European immigrants) was the last area in town to get indoor plumbing. It was a highly controversial decision which eventually swung on the fear that Germantown&#x27;s residents would side with Austria-Hungary during WW1.<p>&#x27;Bohunks&#x27; weren&#x27;t treated particularly well in Canada at the time. Some Ukrainians were even put into internment camps during WW1!<p>Not even 80 years later, Roy Romanow (whose parents were Ukrainian immigrants) was sworn in as Premier of Saskatchewan. Some argue that he saved Saskatchewan from bankruptcy.<p>Perhaps the greatest joy of being Canadian is the knowledge that former outsiders have a sneaky habit of becoming among our greatest leaders! Therefore, I say wear hijabs. But when you lead, always fight to uphold the same freedom that gave you the chance to dress as you choose. :)
