More Needless Multiculturalism Problems From Immigrants

[Bar Sinister]

Well your perceptions are one thing, actual facts are another thing.

Let's look at the facts;
-Muslims, Sikhs and maybe other minorities do not contribute to the bone marrow transplant in the same porportion as the Canadian population in general ( even tho this was set up by Canadians which specifically help those ethnic groups).
- they do not contribute to the Red Cross in the same proportion as Can.. In general
- they do make donations to help other Canadians in proportion etc etc

These are Just some of the facts that are available in the public domain.

I participate a lot in fund raising runs and walks. In my observations on my walks and runs, I see the oriental people are usually well represented in these events, I don't see too many south Asian people and I almost never see middle eastern people.

So, you should try to look at this issue more objectively rather than just looking at your narrow environment and inferring you see it all.

Let's see; a certain group does not contribute to blood donation and bone marrow transplants and that means that multiculturalism has failed. How horrible, I expect Muslims don't contribute much in the way of revenue to Canadian pork producers either. Not only that but its lack of participation in walks and runs also marks them as somehow lacking.

Also, since when did blood donation or bone marrow transplants have anything to do with helping Muslims? Do you actually mean to tell me these programs would not exist without the presence of Muslims in Canada? It seems to me that an Organization called the Red Cross might dispute that bit of misinformation. You were talking about a narrow persepective - perhaps you should stop admiring your profile in the mirror.

BTW thanks for proving my point. You are right, third, fourth, and fifth generation Orientals have adapted fully to Canadian society. And guess what; they are a perfect example of what I was talking about - a group that has been in Canada long enough to embrace Canadian culture.

Next time you post you might actually try to find some "facts" that actually have something to do with the topic.

Here in Vancouver the powers that be are pushing for a 200,000 square foot buddhist temple. They've shelved the plans for now but will review another application in a few months.(source)

Doesn't 200,000 square feet seem a little excessive?

Depends on the number of Buddhists in Vancouver. I know a lot of Caucasians who have embraced Buddhism and I am sure a lot of Chinese people are Buddhists too.

Well there certainly isn't enough to warrant a 200,000 square foot monstrosity! How many "buddhists" identify with their religion in name only? The pay lip service and that's it. If the Christians, who out number buddhists, wanted to build a 200,000 square foot church you know there would be a huge confrontation. In comparison the Crystal Cathedral in California is less than 80,000 and that place is huge!

I'd be thinking the "complex" would include outdoor space too

Apparently not from the articles I've read since before Christmas. 200,000 square foot temple PLUS some outdoor park space. The piece of land that they want to use is a former farm area, it's a massive field.

I guess the only consolation is that all western countries that have suffered with leftie governments have the same problem. Too much PC Too little common sense.
Yet another problem we can thank trudeau for.

Trudeau is trash, but this was Canada's fault not just his

There's that giant land reserve on Westminster and Garden City Rd. I say we build the biggest Mosque and low-project housing; restricted to Arab migrants no less, in Richmond. If only to bring enrich the lives of the Chinese people in Richmond!

It'll be located about a half kilometer from the Aberdeen Chinese Mall. We also have plans for a giant speaker to yell out chants so the people at Aberdeen can hear them.

I don't see a problem with this

Australia has a left wing Prime Minister and Julia Gillard is cracking down hard and fast on immigration and she has a minority government!

Our "Right Wing" in Canada is full of talk and doesn't do anything else. Just listen to our immigration minster Jason Kenney who goes on rants about how wonderful diversity is but you'ld never see him purchase a home in Surrey!

The advocates for the temple include some city councilors and community leaders for that area.

If you do this, in a couple of years it will look like Afgan looks like now. You'll see all the women wearing burkas, no girls in school, each Arab man will have 4 wives etc etc. Actually the last time I was in Richmond, I was having coffee at Timmys and a Muslim with 3 wives came in. The youngest looked about 13 or 14, the other two were about 24 & 30. He tried to act like the youngest was a daughter, buy when they went outside to take some pictures, he kept squeezing the young ones breast. It was sickining to watch but he continued with his stupidity like it was his perfect right to do what he was doing.

So why didn't you make a citizen's arrest?

Personally, I think all applications for religious buildings on the Highway to Heaven should be judged solely on their architectural merit. You can have your ugly religious building but it's gotta be small. If you want a big one, pay for a better architect. The Buddhist temples on No 5 Road are gorgeous. All the others leave something to be desired.

What's the deal with that land? Is that an agricultural land reserve too? I grew up in Richmond and remember it always having some kind of antenna array but now it's gone and now here's a new similar looking array on Hwy 99. Alien landing site?

I'm having a problem understanding what the problem is.

A 200,000 square foot building for a false religion! That's the problem!

Why is it false?

I see, so if it was a Christian Church, then it would be OK. Or do you have restrictions on that also? Only certain Christian denominations perhaps?

What is the maximum square footage you'd allow for a false religion?
