Strategic Voting???

Re: RE: Strategic Voting???

Assimilation, along with freedom of religion (as we have here in the US) is what I'm getting at. Here, our assimilation rate is high and we don't have any major issues with pockets of different ethnic groups contemplating acts of terror.

No group of Canadian people are "contemplating acts of terror." If you're referring to the Islamic population, as many citizens of the United States would likely cite concerns therewith according to my experience thus far, then know that several Canadian Islamic foundations have publicly denounced terrorism, and refused to recognize terrorists as Muslims. Canada's Islamic population has my unwavering support in whatever peaceful endeavours they see fit.

As for "pockets of different ethnic groups," you imply that Canadians don't integrate at all. That simply isn't true. Even if, for example, someone of Indian decent decides to move into an "Indo-Canadian neighbourhood," that doesn't mean they're not going to talk to anyone who's not Indo-Canadian. It doesn't mean they're going to oppose legislation on the basis of it being non-Indian.

And if you think that the United States doesn't have problems between its different "ethnic groups," then please bring up statistics to support your assertion; from what I have heard from citizens of the United States, quite the opposite is true.

We are going off topic here, perhaps a new thread titled "assimilation/multiculturalism" is warranted? Anyways, I'll only make one small comment.

Here within the US we don't embrace multiculturalism, instead we do encourage a muti-ethnic society. Unlike Canada, we don't have multiculturalism as part of an official government policy. Our view is one of a melting pot where all the immigrant cultures are mixed and amalgamated without any state intervention.

and look what a mess the US is as a result.
