Canadians Not As Accepting As We Think, Angus Reid Writes

[Anonymous]

It seems C0onservative leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch is tapping into some silent populist feelings the other top down politicians from all parties keep telling us does not reflect our(their) values.

A new study the Angus Reid Institute conducted in partnership with CBC reveals a slightly different portrait of Canadians than that of our national myth.



On immigration, the vast majority of Canadians prefer a policy that will enhance our economic prosperity over one that emphasizes the needs of people in crisis around the world.



On multiculturalism, by a factor of almost two-to-one, Canadians say they would prefer that minorities "do more to fit in" with mainstream Canada, rather than encourage cultural diversity in which groups keep their own customs and language. (I asked an almost identical question 25 years ago, and fewer Canadians actually support multiculturalism as a concept today.)



Asked the same question today, Americans are actually more likely than Canadians to say minority groups in their country should keep their culture and language (in the U.S., it's closer to a 50/50 split).



So much for Canadian exceptionalism on the cultural diversity front.

How could anyone seriously say they want honour killings, female genital mutilation, homophobia, anti semitism and misogyny are part of the Canadian mosaic. Some cultures have backward ideas that must remain in the countries they are emigrating from. We are a modern, progressive nation. If you cannot adjust, stay away please.

Yet you have a Chinese handle, Chinese avatar, and recently wished China a happy birthday. On Canada Day, you called for reparations.



When are you going to fit into Canadian society?

Does Shen Li want infidels and you gays dead? Is she mutilating baby girls? Does she think women are less than men? When did Shen Li convert to Islam?

You make no distinction between someone like Shen Li who uses chopsticks(myself too) and a suicide bomber? ac_wot



Sometimes you make it difficult to take you seriously.

[Romero]

Suicide bombers??? Where in Shen Li's article does it say anything about suicide bombers?



The issue is about immigration, multiculturalism and minorities. That's the likes of you and Shen Li. When are you going to become a Canada bro instead of putting Korea first?

No, it isn't. It's about an ideology that wants all cultures, Chinese, European extinct. Islam refuses to assimilate. Islam won't accept modernity.

Islam??? Where in Shen Li's article does it say anything about Islam?

While I don't often agree with Romero, that's a damn good question/valid point.

[Bricktop]

Islam??? Where in Shen Li's article does it say anything about Islam?

Can't you read between lines?

[Romero]

The article makes no mention of Islam, Obi.



Is that how you read the news? Seeing things that aren't even mentioned?





Headline: "Vancouver's Little Italy celebrates Italian culture"



Oberon: "Fucking Catholics."





The article is talking about all immigrants, minorities and cultures. I don't need to read between the lines when I already know how to read, period.

Most Canadians are fair minded people, but of course they do not want these repugnant practices and ideas in their country.
