Immigrants, Not Canadians must Adapt

[Beachgirl]

Check this out, *claimed to have been" an editorial written by a Canadian citizen and published in a Canadian newspaper. Following comments I wholeheartedly agree with.


" I'm tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. I'm not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada.
Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, apparently some born here, need to understand.

This idea of Canada being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our soverignty and out national identity. As Canadians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society learn the language!

We are, in the main, Christians, not Buddists, Muslims or Islamics because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

If the Maple Leaf offends you, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you do things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our government gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I hightly encourage you take advantage of one other great Canadian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. "

Let the debat begin.

There have been posts like this in the past. Unfortunately, I don't see the trend of our culture being lost changing any time soon.

that is absolute bull shyat......


first off canada is a SECULAR nation...ok now lets all say it together ...S..E..C..U..L..A..R....that means it is an infringment on my rights if i ever see a cross on the wall of a public school, or governemnt building, or for that matter any other type of religious artifacts.

english AND french (apprently whoever wrote this forgot about the other half) are our languages, and yes everyone in canada should know how to speak one of the two, but that doesn' mean that we shouldn't EMBRACE others in learning and speaking their mother languages, for THAT is what makes canada what it is today, canada is a cultural mosaic (we learned this in grade 4 folks) that embraces people of all different cultures

and i have never come across an immagrant who is offended by the maple leaf, or our national anthem (the only group of people who i have encontered that refuse to sing the national anthem are the Jehovah witnesses, which the vast majority of are white "true" canadaians)

whoever wrote that editorial must be some ignorant ass, probably living in AB or some other hick filled province

hey i love alberta, i lived here most of my life (1 yr in teh states) but the fact of the matter is that AB does have a rather large red neck population because of its heritage (as you said growing up in airdire it was primarily cowboys, as was most of AB at one point or another)....mabye i have to clarify myself ...the words hick, and redneck are interchangable to me...

regardless i appologize if i offended you....

ohh ok so you want us to live in the same condidtions as we were in the 17th century LOL .....countries change...and in this case it was for the best.....do you honetly want to be living in a theocratic nation like iran right now???....change is sometimes for the best,

and btw the transition to a secular state was not due to immigration, and immigrants

Beachgirl, aside that your claim that this editorial was written and published by a Canadian (it wasn't - if you choose to debate this point please provide a link, or the actual paper) However, I tend to agree on many fronts.

What I don't understand is why immigrants move to Canada under the pretense of finding a better life yet they segregate themselves into little communities. For example chinatown - I'll put good money on it that there are a large portion of dwellers in chinatown that could not string together a half coherant english sentence if their lives depended on it. That's just plain fucking ignorance in my opinion. I wouldn't move to say Brasil and try to communicate in only English. No, I would take some Portuguese lessons and I would engage people of the host country in conversation as frequently as possible so that I might learn to communicate. Not these people, they are happy to go about their daily lives in ignorance that they aren't in china anymore. Nice.

If you really want to see something interesting take a look at the government of Quebec's website:

http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.q...c/society.html

Now that's a set of guidlines I'd like to see for the rest of the country!

I also might note that Dalton McGuinty, premier of Ontario, took a step in the right direction by telling the islamic fundies to "Talk to the fucking hand" regarding sharia law. Seriously, get a fucking grip people.

I really dont care if anyones offended by what i am about to say. But hicks are basically cryin becuase immigrants from third world counties have come to canada and alberta and have better jobs and a better life style then them and are jealous. Canada is a multicultural country so deal with it.

guys lets not let this get personal...

I moved here from Denmark, I love canada, I speak better english than most of you here, but i refuse to give up my mother tongue. I speak Danish at home, I curse in danish when I hurt myself, and once in a while meet with other danes to talk about the motherland.

However, if someone puts a cross on a wall somewhere and expects me to live with it, i'll be genuinely pissed - thats something called a STATE religion, and it goes against all that the canadian entity represents.
