This is a little too complicated to explain and i have little time this morning. But in a nutshell Canada was establish with certain peoples and certain valors. Even tough some of those valors took a backseat(religion for instance) and the society has become much more open these days than in the old days, we are still a society evolved from a certain "type" from back then. Therefore as Sol says, i am all for immigrants who come here and love the country and want to pursue a better life here respecting that culture that we have establish trough the years and grow to be better. I said it many times, i do not care about skin color or origin AT ALL, what i care about is the attitude and how well the peoples can "adapt" here. If some peoples come here but then demand things left and right and that they don't like it here and back in there countries they could do this and that, hell just go back then and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out...
For instance why when i was a teen in high school, i had to remove my cap right as i enter school building, not when i arrive to my locker, or when i was to enter class, literraly when i enter school. I hated that, and most of the time i didn't have a shit and kept it til my locker, but when i was spot they would always give me shit for it. Now imagine if there would had been Muslim with hijab or Sikh with turbans(they where none where i live at least at the time, its a small town), and they would had told me that "for them its ok, cause its there religion". I would certainly had been pissed off a lot and call this BS and injustice. Why they get a treatment of favor for this just because there different?
I know its a small exemple and one 13 years old teen tantrum is not exactly world breaker, but its just an exemple in a pool of many many "demands" they have that are different than our values and rules. They need there own meat, there own chuch (in a society that has fough hard to remove as much power as possible from the church) , Sikh are allow to carry there knives in school while if we would do the same thing, even a little pocket knife just as short, we would be suspended. As a kid i loved going in the woods, like many kids, i would make "camps" and "forts", i had one right behind my home so my mother would always be ok to let me go there, we where pretty much in a rural area. Anyway, i always brough my pocket knife there to cut cord and tape and other stuff to build my "camp". One time i forgot i had it in my pocket, i dunno, guess i was out of clean pants that day whatever... Just happened that day i was asked to empty my pockets (they would do that ocasioanlly, especially when called to the director office) and when they saw it they got nuts, they took it, call my parents and all the fucking drama. But if your Sikh, its ok touh...
This is the kind of stuff that bothers me ... among other things. I feel if you go live in a new place, you should respect and apply the laws and culture of that place.
Sadly this is true, our own governement is to be blame too, as they let all of this happen, even encourage it in a way.
Its like letting your friend live at your place because he is in a bad situation. Normally he should be respecting you and your place, but if you allow him to do stuff that bothers you just because you want to be a good friend, then he will do it, and eventually push it, and if he realize your "tolerant", he will always push more and more until there is a breaking point and you can't tolerate anymore....
On a country scale tough, the breaking point could be different...
Well in the end my short reply got longer than i tough and shit i have to hurry up now lol.
