Is 2019 Canada great? What is 'great' ?

Yes of course we both know what humans directly & indirectly are doing & the fix but we don't know what the rest of the universe will do. We should certainly fix what we do know as a problem & at the same time keep a close eye on what the universe is doing reacting accordingly.

Humans are partly responsible. The effluent of many life forms that humans grow & rear for food is partly responsible. Changes to the very matter of earth are partly responsible. How each part may be countered with what mankind has already discovered plus what mankind may discover plus the actual but undiscoverable are all facing us. in other words we don't know. Part of the story we do know how to fix. So sensible humans take action now. Not sensible humans need to put up or shut up' This is all one of those things that shouldn't have to be asked.

What a silly hope. Attempting to force people is a criminal tactic. I came to Canada in 1953 because I WANTED to become a citizen of this society. I liked Canadian ideals & I wasn't disappointed. Today we are attempting to attract workers who have already acquired the skills we seek to add. Forcing them to assimilate is a sure way of upsetting. Rather set about doing the right & likely costly things here that make assimilating desirable. An expense worth incurring. When I came I had first acquired the mindset that I wanted to come not at the decision of Canada but at the decision of me. These new immigrants need be shown the many advantages of assimilating quickly & not in bureaucratic language but in the everyday language of Canadians. Canada is setting about concentrating on educational advances (hurrah) I hope we include melding in the children & adults of new immigrants. I am not a teacher but a retired professional engineer.
