Why this is the answer
From the official Discover Canada study guide — 2.4.5 Becoming Canadian:
Some people come to Canada from places torn apart by war or conflict. Those hard experiences are understood, but they do not excuse bringing violent, extreme or hateful prejudices into the country. Newcomers who become Canadian are expected to take up democratic principles, and the rule of law stands first among them. In practice this means settling disagreements peacefully and through the law, instead of carrying old hatreds into a new home.
