Japan, China, Russia - Protected?


August1991

Recommended Posts

There is a perception that China and Russia are protected from immigration. False.

Japan? Even people in Japan are learning English.

=====

Many people are travelling around, from here to there.

Foreigners find a way to get to China, and a Japanese woman finds a way to meet a Westerner.

An American meets a Russian woman in Hongkong.

Immigration or emigration?

No one is protected, not even North Korea will stand for all of time.  The walls, dictatorships and laws can't protect against human time, which will eventually produce a flaw, a crack, a gadfly, or some agent to wreck the system and end the isolation.

The forces of personal and global engagement you refer to are powered by things like self-interest, adventure, and curiosity and so are pervasive and unending.

Michael,

In a world without walls, what defines a "Canadian"?

Stephen Harper, an otherwise smart man, wrote a foolish book about the future: "Right Here, Right Now"

A different man, Pierre Trudeau, had a better take on the future - if we do it right: "Federalism and the French-Canadians".

===

Any English-speaking Canadian should read both books (Trudeau's was a translated collection of texts) - and realise that Canada is, uh, the future.

I use the legal definition, and of all countries Canada is the most suited to using ONLY a legal definition.  There is no idea of someone who is Canadian in their heart AFAIK.

Maybe it's an attitude.
