I'm a Chinese and now I live in Beijing, China. I have never been to Canada. I come here because I has submitted an application to immigrate to Canada, so I try to get some concept and understanding of people living in this great country. I suggest somepeople here don't warry about my appearance so much as to get headache. I am sure I have enough assets to live and carry out my carreer in Canada and will not need to spend any Canada Government money from Canadian taxpayers unless I become a taxpayer as others lived here. As I was a teenager, My parent told me never do anything to hurt an innocent people. I hope, or perhaps I should say I believe this part of "cultural" are the same in Canada and no "integration" are need.
I'm very curious why some people here are very concerned with Mr. Chen's "Party", just as when I heard a mongol who suffered mental illness claiming he was Jenghis Khan, I would not deduce that Mongolia will ruling the world.
In a chinese language immigration forum which I often visted, someone posted a topic about this event. It got only 15 replies. 9 positive, 4 negative, and 2 doubt whether Mr.Chen is sincerely. If any one may conclude that most of Chinese would support Mr.Chen's party from these statistics, I can tell him/her that the forum I mentioned has 3,966 registed members. There are only 15 of 3966th people take care about Mr. Chen's party, and only 9/3966 expressed the supporting will. But I doubt even those nine will realy willing to pay PARTY MEMBER FEE to Mr. Chen for his political ambitions.
I assert Mr.Chen will not get enough support form Chinese immigrants, because the idea of "Chinese Canadian based party serves for chinese immigration's benefits" is realy absurd and illogic. As an individual, every Chinese Canadian or Chinese immigration certainly has his/her own benifits differing form others.
For example, as a Chinese, I can say:"Canada Federal Government is the representative of Canada." But I can't believe Canada Government can represent every Canadian. If Canada Government increases inport tax to a certain Chinese goods, it benefit these Canadian producing same goods competed with Chinese goods, but it also hurts those Canadian who buy these goods. So Politician is hardly to found a policy to benefit all Canandian. We can imagine a white skin consumer will "stand with" those chinese producer to oppose the policy because it will empty his purse, while a chinese immigrant working for a Canadian producer would welcome the policy according to his white skin colleagues because it will inforce his occupation and benefit his salary.
I believe I have a fully understanding of some pelople here who concerned with the impact to your society and cultural from other different cultural accompanied with immigration. Because in my homecity Beijing, the second largest city in China, there are one third inhabitants was borned outside of the city. As I workiing for a research istitute belonged to Chinese Central Government, most of my colleagues are from other areas of China and Chinese who lived in differnt areas dose not have the same culture and convention as western people thinks. Sometimes I realy fell I am a "minority" in my hometown. Fortunately, to Canadian, Canada is a country not a city, so your government can control who can immigrate to Canada and how many people can be admited to benefit people liveing in this country rather than in other country. I don't believe there are any Canada politician need to neglect the benifits of majority of Canadian to cater to minority's will.
For the issue of accommodation and integration, I suggest some people here perhapes might chang their way of thought. If you believe BEING A CANADIAN IS NOT A BAD THING, you should have confidence of that most people in the world also have the willing to pursue a good thing. Though time perhaps be needed.
