"When in Rome..."
(Ya'll know the rest.)
It must be really hard to abandon everything you know and love to move to a new country.
I do not envy this.
Concessions have to be made on BOTH parts.
Being the "Hosts" to most...
It's all about tolerance and understanding.
Can't blame people for wanting to feel at home now can you?
The Dutch have windmills on their properties,
The Italians landscape their properties beautifully with concrete statues.
( A few of which I am quite envious )
The Jamaicans are always ...hospitable "MON"
Etc...etc..
You cannot blame someone who is homesick for trying to feel at home.
No matter where you go... You will always be where you are from!
Canada is a very tolerant country as far as I am concerned and
I AM PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!
"Ellis Island NY".. "Give us your poor, your meek, Your hungry"
"Canada... Come on in and have a beer eh!"
The problem is Erin is we have allowed our own culture to be erased while we accommodate others.
Multiculturism grew from "bi-culturism' which was brought in, suprise suprise, to appease Quebec during and after the "quiet Revolution".
Non Anglo minorities, quite rightly pointed out that Canada had more than two cultures and so was born the dreaded "m" word.
Anglo culture and history has basically been eradicated in mainstream Canada and, well we all know what has happened in Quebec. Their culture has flourished and they have enacted laws that forbid English etc.
If any of you are actually serious about further study on this try reading Will Kymlyca. He analyses the issue in an academic way.
Unfortunately this discussion has been hijacked by a bunch of racist bastards.
I am all for other cultures being encouraged but I think Anglo Canada has been sold out. We need to have our own culture treated as at least an equal to other people’s cultures, before the last traces of our Imperial past are wiped out for ever.
hwacker, we have made the first step to reclaim our heritage. We've realised it's gone.
if your truly that disturbed, by the changing of canadain culture.
just go out and start creating babies with no stop.
that would impede the growing immigrant rate, quicker like none other.

what exactly is this anglo culture, which many of you say were loosing?
i mean i dont fully understand.
canada is becoming more diverse, but i see things being added. not removed.
[Commentary: Canada's cities are indeed being changed by immigration and in a negative way. Gone is Toronto the Good, a Protestant and English city, today we have Toronto, the cesspool of human garbage pouring in from all corners of the globe. Real Canadians are White and always will be. Real Canadians also don't bring useless degrees from primitive universities and claim that they are qualified to work in the West. It is time to stop all non-White immigration and stem the destruction of our nation. NA Administration]
Nothern Alliance
you a member of northern alliance hwacker?
came accross thise webapge, i suppose europeans are non-white. as canada also fails to acknowledge their degrees.
i'm starting to get the notion united states is more tolerating, the job crisis facing new immigrants in canada is appalling. even after acquirng canadain degrees many still fail to get jobs.
and guess where they head, good ol usa.

kinda ironic, considering the type of lifesytle new immigrants find themselves in, it wont be long till they boycott canada. rather than vice versa.
It's been my experience that the U.S. society *is* more tolerant overall, that wasn't the case even 20 years ago but it has since shown remarkable ongoing improvement while Canada seems to be going the other way.
I attribute this to the fact that Canada society, which was to begin with unused to people of different races and cultures, was asked to absorb too many mostly Third World immigrants in too short a period of time. That so many of these recent arrivals are ethnocentric and exploitive doesn't help either.
