Multiculturalism in Canada - Does it Unite or Divide?

[jbg]

I suppose if you want to call 380,000 people 'basically lacking'.............

Where is Canada's synagogue then?

Canada's synagogue?

Yeah. I hear Canada has one. Where is it?

Over there on the left, next block over.

My point is obviously that Canada's Jewish community is inconsequential in terms of numbers and, by extension power. They would have no ability to move Canadian policy. The burgeoning Muslim population, quite a bit more. They multiply faster. Edited August 4, 2014 by jbg

English is made up of several different languages, Canada is made up of many different people who live in peace. Since we thrive on being peace keepers and push and pull as one when needed. What unites us all is the peace that we send to others and the pride of being able to live as one. Sure we have our inner issues and problems. But none of those has managed to crack the shell of Canadian Multicultual PEACE. People leave everything behind in there home lands to live in Canadian multicultial PEACE

That "PEACE" will be rather ephemeral if people who do not fit in drastically expand their numbers. Look at France's "car-b-ques" or Denmark's and London's recent riots. Or Malmo, Sweden's decent into hellishness.

I don't think he's really up to date on world affairs like that. He's still stuck in Trudeau-mania (the 1970's version), with all of the empty words and concepts that came with it.

I'm so glad there are countries such as Canada, Australia, the United States etc where people from different cultures can have one society and similarly a melting-pot. (Hahahaa)

Sorry about the sneering but on a serious note, we have burkha-clad women on the streets here in Finland. I can easily understand that there are burkha-clad women in countries such as Britain, Germany, France or even Sweden but wtf Finland of all the countries. Finland is just about as far away from everything as one could imagine. A kind of New Zealand of Europe.

It has been the strength of Finland that we are back of the beyond far away from everything and nobody knows where we are and nobody knows anything about us and nobody even cares.

And yet even we get burkha-clad women in our streets!

At the moment I would say Jews are considerably more influential than Muslims, despite their numbers. They are much more politically active, more sophisticated and much richer, with far better contacts in the halls of government and a FAR bigger presence in media and the arts.

Of course, if you just want to pander for votes, then I'd agree that you'll get more from the Muslims by being anti-Israel than you'll get from the Jews being pro-Israel.

Calgary has a Muslim mayor, next?

I don't think since Cotler left with Martin's defeat there have been any Jews in the inner cabinet. Maybe some Miminsters of State. Then again, Canada doesn't have too many Jews to choose from.

Absolutely. I don't know if Canada even has ambassadorial level relations with Israel.

This is not always the case,some people that come to Canada also bring their hate with them.What is peaceful about the people in these photos?

There were two prominent protests recently in Calgary,the first one was pro-Palestinian/Hamas and they attacked a handful of Israel supporters.The second one was organized by Ezra Levant of Sun News in support of Israel,no violent attacks against anyone by them.See the difference?

And notice that the police didn't intervene. Is that a surprise given who was elected mayor?

If only there was some way to find out.

Are you suggesting that police didn't interfere on orders of the Muslim mayor of Calgary? That's a pretty serious charge there.

Maybe not direct orders. But it probably is clear what he wants - and doesn't want.

[Remiel]

Naheed Nenshi is the most well liked mayor in Canada. What you are insinuating is atrocious and libelous.

The Calgary Police were incompetent and feeble minded. Perhaps that was simply poor leadership. On the other hand it's clear that in many ways across the country the police have become much more politicized and much more eager to please their political masters. That's certainly true of the RCMP, the OPP and the Toronto police. Why shouldn't it be true of the Calgary police?

With the OPP in particular we see a force which is so politicized it will simply ignore violent crimes committed in front of its eyes when those committing it are members of a particular ethnic group for fear of offending the provincial government. Why wouldn't Calgary Police do the same?

[Remiel]

Are you referring to Caledonia or something else?

[BC_chick]

I see. So the Calgary Police failed to intervene because they felt that's what the Muslim mayor wants. Never mind their local MP, Stephen Harper, otherwise known as Israel's best-friend-forever-and-ever.

You may have a point though - the police are usually known to be completely biased in favour of the swarthy types. It's in their Israel-hating hearts.

Oh so that's why the TO police shot the black kid in the street car.

[Argus]

With regard to the OPP I was referring to Caledonia.

[Argus]

Oh so that's why the TO police shot the black kid in the street car.

No, that was simply incompetence on the part of that individual, and an example of the lack of leadership, discipline and training on that particular force.

[On Guard for Thee]

As lame excuses go that one has to take the cake. The kid was alone in a streetcar weilding a jackknife (wow), surrounded by cops. The only threat he was, was to himself. I have zero training as a cop but even I could have figured out to just close the doors, keep an eye on him and let him get bored. That was no lack of training.

[Remiel]

Not a big fan of how the police conduct themselves as far as that goes, but I really do not think you can project the politicization of FN policing to other peoples. They just do not have all the same issues.

So I guess multi culture means if we have to go to war, there will be Canadians fighting on both sides. The ugly side is showing it's self as we speak.
