Controversy
In 1993, Mosher became the first artist to have his work denounced by a Member of Parliament (Robert Layton) in the House of Commons as "a crime against fundamental Canadian values of decency and mutual respect."
On March 12, 2010, he drew a cartoon depicting a woman in a niqab as being in a prison, which brought criticisms of Islamophobia. One community leader pointed out that he had made similar cartoons about women wearing a hijab.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
