Ten soldier Sikhs, wow, what an army eh??? What would have we done without them?? Sheesh!!

Brown people in Canada make up about 5-7% percent of Canada's population, yet less than 0.5% of Canada's military population is made up of brown people.

They didn't carry their share of weight before and they are not carrying their fair of weight now!!

Too many people like you may make them feel unwanted.

Nobody wants someone who does not carry their fair share of the heavy lifting. You won't survive as a member in a team sport, why should you be carried in building a country.

Struggling with them fighting for Canada even though they weren't wanted?

'All' combined visible minorities account for 6% of our CF members. This is low, Sikh or all other minorities are not a common sight on our Canadian CF teams. Maybe when JT has tripled Canada's population to 100 million, maybe the minorities will consist of the 94% and Canadians will consist of 6%? Who knows what it will look like, our children will definitely be the minority. JT will be prime minister forever :)).

One false premise in there!! Someone will have shot J.T. long before the population reaches 100 million! He'll be damn lucky if he sees 40 million! I wonder how much of his nonsense Trump will put up with.

Do you have the faintest idea what you are talking about? Since when did you have the right to decide who is a Canadian and who isn't? And where did you get the ridiculous 100 million number from?

Uniformity is neither desirable nor possible in a country the size of Canada. We should not even be able to agree upon the kind of Canadian to choose as a model, let alone persuade most people to emulate it. There are few policies potentially more disastrous for Canada than to tell all Canadians that they must be alike. There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an “all-Canadian” boy or girl? A society which emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate. A society which eulogizes the average citizen is one which breeds mediocrity. What the world should be seeking, and what in Canada we must continue to cherish, are not concepts of uniformity but human values: compassion, love, and understanding.


~ Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Remarks at the Ukrainian-Canadian Congress, October 9, 1971.

“We will not tolerate acts of vandalism or violence from those who would illegally stand in the way of the economic prosperity of our people,” the Tory MP said in the release. “There is a place for legitimate protest, but we will lock up the agitators and activists who resort to vandalism and violence when they do not get their way.”

This is the first thing that Kellie has said with which I completely agree.
