If that is what you would like to believe. Like what? Wicca, satanism, witchcraft, Wiccan, pagan rituals etc. Well sorry to disappoint you, but people have decided a long time ago and we do have a majority religious society and religion in Canada called Christianity which also provided the building blocks for the Canada we have to-day and the one you enjoy in Alberta. It is even reflected in our constitution: Notice the capital 'G'.

Not a chance unless they become a republic. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/843408.stm

I used my hardcover Oxford Concise Dictionary which defines pagan as follows: Pagan- a person not subscribing to any of the main religions of the world, esp. formerly regarded by Christians as unenlightened or heathen. 1a- of or relating to or associated with pagans. b- irreligious. 2-identifying divinity or spirtuality in nature; pantheistic. Irreligious- 1.-indifferent or hostile to religion. 2.- lacking a religion. First primary and secondary definitions of 'Secular'- 1.- concerned with the affairs of this world; not spiritual or sacred. 2. (of education etc.) not concerned with religion or religious belief.

I have already dictionary defined 'pagan' and 'secularist', which begs the question are you thick?

I have been hitting on consequences from mass ethnic immigration all along and know what the implications are. But it is a known fact Dalton Mc.Guinty is no stranger to multiculturalism and supports it every way he can, just like he does bilingualism. Mc.Guinty might think he is some kind of great Guru, but the fact is money doesn't grow on trees and comes from taxpayers pockets. I simply think at the moment Dalton Mc.Guinty is more of a threat to the White English speaking Christian residents of Ontario and associated culture and traditions than John Tory is. Fact is mass ethnic immigration is here and that is the root of the problem.

What you quoted are articles and NOT definitons.

I think the same way about 'Official Multiculturalism' and 'Official Languages of Canada'.

A pagan is irreligious and a secularist is not concerned with religion or religious belief. So tell us Dancer, how pagans and secularist are opposites?

My statement "Who the hell wants a pagan State or country anyways" was meant to reflect John Tory's efforts in keeping religion alive and well contrary to those of you who think Canada is a secular (PAGAN) State, which it IS NOT.

That statement was clarified: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...20-df25a0661f1b

All ten premiers did originally agree on the accord but Meech lake died because these provinces refused to recognize Quebec as 'distinct'. What is more outrageous than the repatriating of Canada's constitution without Quebec's signature on it, like Trudeau did. You talk about morals to lead a country. What makes you think Trudeau had any: BTW- Your link doesn't work but this one will: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...9f4&k=16375

Ethnic segregation is inevitable no matter who you vote for especially with the Charter that actually promotes this. Mc.Guinty lied his way in last election. You can keep your liar. I will vote John Tory who wants and is trying to keep religion alive with funding for all religions, rather than allow Catholics to discriminate against other religions. Who the hell wants a pagan State or country anyways? John Tory's election platform makes sense and like he says "leadership matters", "for a better Ontario". http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTV...hub=TorontoHome

How quickly we forget our heritage and the great country Britain gave to us. Even Geoffrey who day after day, one way or the other, expresses great pride in his province Alberta forgets an important point. Alberta was named directly after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. So Geoffrey, I trust you will be first in line campaigning for an Alberta name change for one that does not reflect the monarchy.

I would gather this could be discrimination against English speaking applicants. And how far could this actually go, with the more desired courses offered in French only and the less desired ones in English. Personally I think the only reason English courses are offered at all is because of the funding issue.

Maybe that is why some people referred to it as 'U of Zero' as in '0', including John Tory. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...4f-8f5a80eda916

I don't think you will ever see an EU Multinational State. http://www.spectrezine.org/europe/Coughlan.htm

I promote Canadians investing in Canadian companies. But unfortunately many Canadian investors are reluctant to support and buy shares in small, medium size companies. My brother invest heavily in this area but readily admits lack of investor confidence in small, medium Canadian companies has more or less always been problematic in Canada and fail to allow these companies to reach any level of success despite promising and proven potential relating to their products. On the other hand in the U.S. Americans are not afraid to support their small and medium sized business or investing anywhere else in the world. Strange indeed.

Re-invest profits from the sale of your previous company, back into the Canadian economy? Are you actually saying every investor does this or do they re-invest their money in some other venture outside of Canada? You will have to cite proof to confirm what you are saying is factual. There is no guarantee of either happening or actually succeeding.

Bombardier in my mind is next to a federal crown corporation, but is not. I do not support this type of subsidization and incompetent Bombardier should have been left to die a natural death years ago. I am grown up and you are talking to the wrong person. Please direct your comment to the greedy, immature Canadian companies who it seems don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

And why is that?

Bottom line to any successful company is PROFITS. How to you achieve higher profits...hint, lower employee salaries. And how low can they go? We already have proof thanks to mass ethnic immigration that ethnics will work for less than Canadians, weekends included and be thankful for that. Couple this with lower salaries paid by major corporations will be a magnet for ethnic Canadians. Where does this leave the average disgruntled White Canadian? Unemployed, bitter, but now realizes the sad truth, Canada, under new management, is being continually transformed towards third world status. That was your answer to what's left. Bombardier, one of the most ever dependent Canadian companies on federal and provincial government handouts. Maybe that's why no one wants it.

So they just happened to come to Canada...PLEASE. You mean they filled out an application and were allowed to come to Canada...IF ACCEPTED. I don't think this is any of my buisness. Why don't you file a human rights complaint with the U.N. and have them forward their findings to world countries for whatever reason. I am not in the positon to judge that. I am certainly not but it sounds like you are a full blown bigot. I don't have a clue what you are talking about. I don't draw any line on who are acceptable immigrants. What I am concerned about is my place in Canadian society as part of the majority White English speaking, Christian Canadians, who have primarily built this country, with millions of other immigrants who have adapted to the ways of the majority but now is being threatened by mass ethnic immigration who don't necessarily feel they have to adapt to anyones society.

Ask yourself how all of this started and why.

Don't you think foreign ownership can eventually turn Canada into a third world country. Do you actually think foreign ownership of Canadian companies is going to save Canadian butt.
