I am very much in favour of attracting immigrants – we need them. This policy has made Canada the great country that it is. We welcomed ‘newcomers’ and they, in turn, accepted what we had to offer and worked hard to become proud Canadians. They did not come with a list of demands which is what we keep getting from our Muslim immigrants. Instead of being grateful and thankful for Canada’s generosity, they want ‘us’ to change. No other group of immigrants has had the effrontery to do this (and our weak-kneed politicians keep giving in.)
It is most obvious (to me) that they are not going to assimilate – as their numbers increase they will become more and more insistent. One only has to look ‘across the pond’ to see what is taking place in England. I am far from the only Canadian who feels this way. We are being led down a ‘slippery slope’ by people we elected who promised to safeguard our values. Now these values are being compromised.
To complicate matters we have a Prime Minister who is woefully unqualified to lead Canada.
There are ‘dark days’ ahead.
