    Word.
    Yea lets become more like Australia!!!
    Australians are probably some of the most racist people out of all the big western countries. Not just against muslims either, they have this issue with chinese/filipinos and all kinds of minorities.

    And I don't think they bothered to learn the native language either when they immigrated there some couple hundred years ago.

    I agree with integration in society but people who say shit like that are just idiotic.

    Okay this is racist as hell.

    One thing I would like to see is that any fucking immagrant let into Canada must know English/French when they arrive or must be fluent within 6months. I fucking hate people who can't speak the language and they don't tolerate our culture. It's our country if you don't like how we play your SHOULD gtfo asap. Look at all the little afghani kids running around the northeast picking on the defenseless white kids when they are alone, anyone who is a teenager knows about this too. I.E. Whitehorn trainstation.

    And no... before anyone says I was one of the kids I was not...just something that always bothered me growing up all these little wanabe thugs running around acting like they are Al Capone.

    my rant is over

    There's more heroes out there than you would think. Support them wherever they are found.

    Geert Wilders Speech, House of Lords, London, Friday the 5th of March 2010

    "Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.

    Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.

    Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’. Thank you my friends for inviting me.

    I first have great news. Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities.

    And I have more good news. Two weeks ago the Dutch government collapsed. In June we will have parliamentary elections. And the future for the Freedom Party looks great. According to some polls we will become the largest party in the Netherlands. I want to be modest, but who knows, I might even be Prime Minister in a few months time!

    Ladies and gentlemen, not far from here stands a statue of the greatest Prime Minister your country ever had. And I would like to quote him here today: “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. No stronger retrograde force exists in the World. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step (…) the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” These words are from none other than Winston Churchill wrote this in his book ‘The River War’ from 1899.

    Churchill was right.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t have a problem and my party does not have a problem with Muslims as such. There are many moderate Muslims. The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do. I know that. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.

    Islam strives for world domination. The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad. The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law. The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

    As former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome”. End of quote.

    Libyan dictator Gaddafi said: “There are tens of millions of Muslims in the European continent today and their number is on the increase. This is the clear indication that the European continent will be converted into Islam. Europe will one day soon be a Muslim continent”. End of quote. Indeed, for once in his life, Gaddafi was telling the truth. Because, remember: mass immigration and demographics is destiny!

    Islam is merely not a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology. Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave. Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society. From civic- and family law to criminal law. It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet. Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.

    I believe that Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to Western values. The equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization. Ladies and gentlemen: Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible. It are opposite values.

    No wonder that Winston Churchill called Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ “the new Quran of faith and war, turgid, verbose, shapeless, bur pregnant with its message”. As you know, Churchill made this comparison, between the Koran and Mein Kampf, in his book ‘The Second World War’, a master piece, for which, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Churchill’s comparison of the Quran and ‘Mein Kampf’ is absolutely spot on. The core of the Quran is the call to jihad. Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle. Kampf is German for battle. Jihad and kampf mean exactly the same.

    Islam means submission, there cannot be any mistake about its goal. That’s a given. The question is whether we in Europe and you in Britain, with your glorious past, will submit or stand firm for your heritage.

    We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible pace. Europe is Islamizing rapidly. A lot of European cities have enormous Islamic concentrations. Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin are just a few examples. In some parts of these cities, Islamic regulations are already being enforced. Women’s rights are being destroyed. Burqa’s, headscarves, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings. Women have to go to separate swimming-classes, don’t get a handshake. In many European cities there is already apartheid. Jews, in an increasing number, are leaving Europe.

    As you undoubtedly all know, better then I do, also in your country the mass immigration and islamization has rapidly increased. This has put an enormous pressure on your British society. Look what is happening in for example Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford and here in London. British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill have now taken the path of least resistance. They have given up. They have given in.

    Last year, my party has requested the Dutch government to make a cost-benefit analysis of the mass immigration. But the government refused to give us an answer. Why? Because it is afraid of the truth. The signs are not good. A Dutch weekly magazine - Elsevier - calculated costs to exceed 200 billion Euros. Last year alone, they came with an amount of 13 billion Euros. More calculations have been made in Europe: According to the Danish national bank, every Danish immigrant from an Islamic country is costing the Danish state more than 300 thousand Euros. You see the same in Norway and France. The conclusion that can be drawn from this: Europe is getting more impoverished by the day. More impoverished thanks to mass immigration. More impoverished thanks to demographics. And the leftists are thrilled.

    I don't know whether it is true, but in several British newspapers I read that Labour opened the door to mass immigration in a deliberate policy to change the social structures of the UK. Andrew Neather, a former government advisor and speech writer for Tony Blair and Jack Straw, said the aim of Labour’s immigration strategy was, and I quote, to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date”. If this is true, this is symptomatic of the Left.

    Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The left is facilitating islamization. Leftists, liberals, are cheering for every new shariah bank being created, for every new shariah mortgage, for every new islamic school, for every new shariah court. Leftists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture. Shariah law or democracy? Islam or freedom? It doesn’t really matter to them. But it does matter to us. The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism. Universities, churches, trade unions, the media, politicians. They are all betraying our hard-won liberties.

    Why I ask myself, why have the Leftists and liberals stopped to fight for them? Once the Leftists stood on the barricades for women’s rights. But where are they today? Where are they in 2010? They are looking the other way. Because they are addicted to cultural relativism and dependent on the Muslim vote. They are dependent on mass-immigration.

    Thank heavens Jacqui Smith isn’t in office anymore. It was a victory for free speech that a UK judge brushed aside her decision to refuse me entry to your country last year. I hope that the judges in my home country are at least as wise and will acquit me of all charges, later this year in the Netherlands.

    Unfortunately, so far they have not done so well. For they do not want to hear the truth about Islam, nor are they interested to hear the opinion of top class legal experts in the field of freedom of expression. Last month in a preliminary session the Court refused fifteen of the eighteen expert-witnesses I had requested to be summoned.

    Only three expert witnesses are allowed to be heard. Fortunately, my dear friend and heroic American psychiatrist dr. Wafa Sultan is one of them. But their testimony will be heard behind closed doors. Apparently the truth about Islam must not be told in public, the truth about Islam must remain secret.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being prosecuted for my political beliefs. We know political prosecution to exist in countries in the Middle East, like Iran and Saudi-Arabia, but never in Europe, never in the Netherlands.

    I’m being prosecuted for comparing the Quran to ‘Mein Kampf’. Ridiculous. I wonder if Britain will ever put the beliefs of Winston Churchill on trial… Ladies and gentlemen, the political trial that is held against me has to stop.

    But it is not all about me, not about Geert Wilders. Free speech is under attack. Let me give you a few other examples. As you perhaps know, one of my heroes, the Italian author Oriana Fallaci had to live in fear of extradition to Switzerland because of her anti-Islam book 'The Rage and the Pride'. The Dutch cartoonist Nekschot was arrested in his home in Amsterdam by 10 police men because of his anti-Islam drawings. Here in Britain, the American author Rachel Ehrenfeld was sued by a Saudi businessman for defamation. In the Netherlands Ayaan Hirsi Ali and in Australia two Christian pastors were sued. I could go on and on. Ladies and gentlemen, all throughout the West freedom loving people are facing this ongoing ‘legal jihad’. This is Islamic ‘lawfare’. And, ladies and gentlemen, not long ago the Danish cartoonist Westergaard was almost assassinated for his cartoons.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we should defend the right to freedom of speech. With all our strength. With all our might. Free speech is the most important of our many liberties. Free speech is the cornerstone of our modern societies. Freedom of speech is the breath of our democracy, without freedom of speech our way of life our freedom will be gone.

    I believe it is our obligation to preserve the inheritance of the brave young soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy. That liberated Europe from tyranny. These heroes cannot have died for nothing. It is our obligation to defend freedom of speech. As George Orwell said: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear”.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in another policy, it is time for change. We must make haste. We can’t wait any longer. Time is running out. If I may quote one of my favourite American presidents: Ronald Reagan once said: “We need to act today, to preserve tomorrow”. That is why I propose the following measures, I only mention a few, in order to preserve our freedom:

    First, we will have to defend freedom of speech. It is the most important of our liberties. In Europe and certainly in the Netherlands, we need something like the American First Amendment.

    Second, we will have to end and get rid of cultural relativism. To the cultural relativists, the shariah socialists, I proudly say: Our Western culture is far superior to the Islamic culture. Don't be affraid to say it. You are not a racist when you say that our own culture is better.

    Third, we will have to stop mass immigration from Islamic countries. Because more Islam means less freedom.

    Fourth, we will have to expel criminal immigrants and, following denaturalisation, we will have to expel criminals with a dual nationality. And there are many of them in my country.

    Fifth, we will have to forbid the construction of new mosques. There is enough Islam in Europe. Especially since Christians in Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia are mistreated, there should be a mosque building-stop in the West.

    And last but not least, we will have to get rid of all those so-called leaders. I said it before: Fewer Chamberlains, more Churchills. Let's elect real leaders.

    Ladies and gentlemen. To the previous generation, that of my parents, the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom. When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope in my country, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny. Millions of my fellow country men listened to it, underground. The words ‘This is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon.

    What will be broadcasted forty years from now? Will it still be “This is London”? Or will it be “This is Londonistan”? Will it bring us hope? Or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina? Will Britain offer submission or perseverance? Freedom or slavery? The choice is yours. And in the Netherlands the choice is ours.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we will never apologize for being free. We will and should never give in. And, indeed, as one of your former leaders said: We will never surrender.

    Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.

    Thank you very much. "
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    Do you breathe through your mouth all of the time? I'd be surprised if you're even able to do that. Once the world rids itself of blinded liberal bandwagoners, who more often than not are closet racists themselves, then there can be some genuine discussion on the issue.

    Allowing any sort of a take-over to occur should be penalized by death. Not allowing it isn't racist, fascist or bigoted. No offense to you fine muslims on here, actually I couldn't care less, I would never want to live in a muslim state and I much prefer our more humane and non-barbaric western values over the painfully weird shit sharia law brings.

    Did some guy with a small dick make that stuff up? Sounds like it's making up for a lot of insecurity. Fucking weirdo.

    You get the exact same speech everywhere in the world from all sorts of leaders.

    English is a surprisingly small subsect of greatly simplified latin. German, French, Spanish are all pretty much equally a subsect of latin. German is more precise latin (which makes is great for engineering) English is more simplified (which makes it easier to communicate in things like commerce and trade) French is more expressive (which makes it great for picking up the ladies). Spanish - well... Its got its strengths too (but I won't mention them)

    Latvian has its strengths too. Russian is actually the most prevalent of the latin derivatives. Ignatieff is the son of a famous Russian Canadian diplomat (if diplomats are ever famous)

    Symbolic languages like used in China and India - are actually much larger in scope and some say ridiculously and unecessarily complex. Most of the world - actually uses a language that I personally find to be overly complex...

    Its like learning Assembly or C++ for the computer. English - would be C++, Chinese would be Assembly. Chinese and Japanese is actually quite specific and precise, even some say moreso than German, which does make it a great engineering (building) language.

    For colonies like Austrailia and Canada that are very young countries that still rely on trade and commerce (and cannot create the Xboxes that the country wants by themselves) as resource states - English is and probably was the right choice.

    Moving forward though - with stagnant population growth, I can see why French might be preferred over English (Both would be great)

    PS: Requiring university students to learn Calculus math - is also unecessarily complex in my opinion. Fucking Calculus, lol.

    Got to integrate into that Canadian society - whatever that is, eh. Boo fucking hoo to you too and what will you do when your kids decide that they can befriend those that bug the hell out of you?
    As an immigrant who came here back in 1995, I think you're entirely missing the point. Immigrants should bring the best of their cultures to ADD to Canada's culture. However, at the same time, they should integrate into the Canadian culture. There's nothing wrong with having little Italys and China Town, but I'd expect the regulars to be welcoming to Canadians and associate with more then people of the same background. I'm Polish and only two of my good friends is Polish; the rest are mostly Canadian born.

    I went to high school with a Chinese gentleman who was born in Canada, spent his whole life here, and was in ESL till grade 12. Fucking pathetic! Integrate or GTFO.

    I spent a month in Australia and within just a few days you could see the racism. White people simply DO NOT associate with other races in Australia. In small/medium sized towns you ONLY see whites and the rare black guy. In big cities, there is a bigger minority but absolutely NO interracial couples. We found it strange on day 1 that we didn't see any, so we started counting interracial couples. In four weeks, we saw ONE, and they were American tourists it turned out.

    In my experience, Europe can be pretty racist, but is NOTHING compared to the rampant racism is Australia.

    It's hard to have genuine discussion when you keep dropping ad hominems.

    Big Mass is right. It's easier to blame foreigners than to identify the state as a problem. The only organization that imposes political and moral beliefs on you is the state. Now you worry when a primitive or religious culture influences (corrupts) the state too much in a way you don't agree with. The problem isn't the influencing group, it's the fact that the state can impose political and moral beliefs on you. The "best" role of the state is to keep you free from the imposition of political beliefs by others including itself.

    This is the same thing as blaming capitalism or the free market for corrupting the state. The problem is that the state is corruptible, that it can impose political will and even sell that as a service to whichever group will pay for it.

    I fully support anyone who wants to move to the region called Canada and do as they please, speak whatever language and practice whatever beliefs they wish. So long as they don't impose their political or moral beliefs on me or cause harm to me or my property.

    It's nice to see someone tell all these idiots that try to live by their own laws and everything to just put up or shut up. Seriously it's happening in so many countries now, here, US, Europe...Why can't they just accept that they didn't move to a muslim country and just shut the fuck up and stop complaining about the laws and customs of the country they moved to.

    Let me know when you learn 17 different languages to order a cheeseburger. You cant be fucking serious.

    How can a person integrate into society if they don't open up to the way our country works? Let me throw some stuff on the plate for you to think over. Might even give you a laugh about the everyday shit I see:

    "I cant do that, it's against my religion" -Take off the hat, put on our police uniform. Fuck.
    "I can eat stray animals in my old country, why cant i do it here?" And yet he wont eat beef...
    "Why cant I stone my woman? She was seen by a doctor without my presence!" - Oy.
    "I used to have 6 wives. Now i can only have 1." - And this man is complaining? I can barley hold down one woman!

    Just to make you feel better, I will also poke fun at the BS that has already arrived and integrated itself into society:

    "My imaginary friend Jesus is divine" - Here we go...
    "10% of your earnings must go to the church for the rest of your life" - Sounds like life insurance that fucks you and your family anyway.
    "In my small town there is no electricity, automobiles, or technology. Also my 20 children mate with each other" - Fucking weird man. Great potatoes, but that's just fucked.
    "Bonjour, blah blah separatist BS" - Ok, fuck. We share the same country. Why don't we work together to make sure that Canada doesn't go further down the shitter?


    There is so much garbage and political BS in the world, how does anyone expect one country, or even on continent be able to hold together if there is no common ground to which everyone can relate? Even if the one thing is only language. It's better than having a chaotic country where nobody know their head from their assholes.

    I hope someone enjoyed my rant. I smiled writing some of it!

    Facts? Lot's of facts in this thread. See my last post. Integrate or gtfo is the general consensus from where I am sitting.

    I can't see how this statement relates to reality. Are you generalizing that only non-english speakers work at burger joints?

    If you dislike a burger joint because you have difficulty ordering your burger, then stop going there. If they don't meet your needs then they'll likely go out of business. Do you claim to have the right to order cheeseburgers at someone else's restaurant in your language only?

    How can a person integrate into society if they don't open up to the way our country works?
    First off it's not your country, it's the country. The part that you own is likely very small and you can't claim that the entire country is yours. Since when was integration the greatest virtue of society? I thought it was freedom and liberty. Integration is your political expectation, it's hardly virtuous if you advocate it through force and violence. Integration should be sought only through positive incentives, without harming others.

    The Prairies were colonized by cultures having dozens of different languages and society prospered. It's when you mix an ever growing corruptible state with varying cultural beliefs that problems arise.

    Yeah but it's the fact that muslims complain about references to Jesus and a bunch of other stuff. And when a government has the balls to ask them to forgo something they get all pissed off and then make even more demands...Why should we bend to the demands they make when we don't ask anything of them other than to respect our laws...Pretty lame if you ask me.

    General consensus seems to be for them to put up with our ways and to practice their ways without forcing us to change our customs or of whatever country.

    I don't believe in God but you don't see me getting upset over people believing in him or in any other god.

    I just think it's annoying when people ask the people in a certain place to change their well established ways to suit them, and then won't make any concessions to the rest of the world. If they want some place where they can live safely and make money and raise a family, I'm sure there's plenty of room in many countries in the middle east they could live rather than here and then try to change our laws or ways or try to live by the laws of their country of origin...Doesn't work that way...

    There was also an article in National Geographic at some point on how when Persia was changed to a mostly Muslim country way back when that a very vibrant and artistic people were basically subdued and taken over thus closing off what used to be the artistic hub of the ancient world...
