Multiculturalism is a complete failure in Canada, a failure just like the useless Libs.

In Canada, the only way things get done is when caucasions of European decent get it done, you only have to look at our military.

Visible minorities in Canada make up over 22% of Canada's population, therefore our military population should be made up of 22% of visible minorities, but in reality our military is only made up of less than 4% of visible minorities. Whites do all the heavy lifting.

Multiculturalism sucks!!

we need to understand that it is those progressive canadians and typical urban eunuchs who feel smug and superior.

To use pretty standard reasoning in the conservative community, they simply aren't as qualified. If there is a more qualified white guy then he gets the nod.

Not really. It was the British who made Canada the wealthy nation it is today. Had the Europeans not settled in Canada you'd be a land inhabited by poverty-stricken, spear-wielding brown people, like much of Africa. Live Aid would likely have been in aid of Canada rather than Ethiopia.

Chances are pretty good that's what Canada will be like in a few years the way it's going now!

When has Canada ever had a common culture beyond a common official one?


English, French, Hawaiian, Chinese, and other merchants communicated with one another in Wawa as a lingua franca on most of the Canadian West coast until the late 1800's!

Canada used to be even more multicultural prior to confederation:

Canada has always been multicultural but it was never the big deal it is today. The word, 'multicultural' hadn't even been invented then. People were focused on making good lives for themselves and their 'culture' wasn't something they wore on their sleeve.
I wish it were that way again. There wouldn't be all the wrangling about 'rights vs. rights' that goes on now. Minorities are no longer focused on fitting into their new environment; they are focused on hanging onto the life they brought with them which in the past few decades has been not the kind of life we wanted to see promoted here.
The immigrants of the past were intent on becoming part of their adopted society and made the necessary sacrifices to do so. Now the immigrants seem to want our society to make the sacrifices so that they don't have to change.

Immigrants from countries other than Europe did not start coming to Canada in larger numbers until after WW11.

They couldn't handle the harsh climate/environment before then so they waited till most of the infrastructure was in place before they migrated here.

Having a pulse and the ability to speak french are the only qualifications required by the military.

Just watching Cowgirl Barrel Racing on TV, Cowgirls are all White. I don't think I ever saw one who was not White,

Can you imagine a Muslim women wearing a burka participating in a Barrel Race, I bet this what gerryh dreams off when he's home alone pulling his wire eh.

The first two groups still haven't integrated each other as shown by Ontario and Quebec and the rest of the immigrants usually settle in with 'folks from back home' and the culture that was flawed continues on as if nothing has changed.Dropping the old language is the first step to becoming a Canadian. Pretty much nobody would qualify when you add in the other traditions that should have been abandoned when you put your boots on the ground.

And YOU are RUDE!!!!!!!!!
Japanese, Chinese and Indian came here earlier to do work diligently on specific jobs. The African, Caribbean and Mid-Eastern replaced the European immigrants after the war and that's when the trouble started.
The highly qualified professionals and tradesmen from Europe went to the end of the line and that's where they stayed ever since. There are still British and Europeans waiting to get into Canada who can't get in because of the flood of useless, lazy freeloaders who come to take advantage of our social systems.
