One conspicuous feature of cultural diversity is ethnic gang warfare which, to borrow a phrase from the Edmonton Journal, has made “the cities of this country vastly more interesting.’ Multiculturalism has not only enriched our palates with its fine range of ethnic restaurants, it has enriched our crime scene, forcing our phlegmatic and unimaginative home-grown thugs to either shape up or find a new line of work. I know I was enriched, until I fled, along with tens of thousands of other WASPS to the hinterlands in search of respite from the lawlessness that diversity had wrought. But now diversity is following us. Last summer Asian gangs were reported to be hounding the formerly sleepy retirement city of Kelowna, B.C.
The Edmonton Journal speaks of “changing realities and changing attitudes.” Interesting. A poll conducted by CTV and the Globe and Mail between August 3-7 of 2005 found that 69% of Canadians opposed multiculturalism and favoured assimilation, and 55% thought immigration levels were too high. They were not asked if they wanted the country’s ethnic composition changed, but of course, they were the ordinary people of Canada and journalists and parliamentarians know better anyway. A democrat would turn the question around: Name a federal government that had a mandate to change the ethnic profile of the nation? I think it is clear the Edmonton Journal does not have its finger on the pulse of public opinion anymore than the social engineers at the CBC. There has been no sea change in attitudes toward “diversity” since August 2005.
Why is there such subterranean discontent with multiculturalism in Canada, and elsewhere? Of course there is resentment with the concept of our own government requiring us to accommodate to the customs and sensibilities of newcomers rather than the reverse. But the perception of there being rampant, disproportionate ethnic crime is a common denominator of much antagonism to the multicultural nature of immigrant populations in Europe, Australia and North America. In the United States 27% of all inmates of federal prisons are illegal aliens and their violent crime statistics are appalling. In the United Kingdom 60% of London’s muggings are committed by blacks and 31% of all street robberies are committed by West Indians. Ethnic crimes don’t happen in Canada because the federal government won’t collect ethnic crime statistics. Therefore Toronto’s Jamaicans are the only Jamaicans in the world who are peaceable. Mayor David Miller’s solution to Jamaican crime that isn’t Jamaican is to ban hand-guns because criminals, who by definition break laws, will obey a law that says you are not to possess a hand gun. If violence persists, I expect the politically correct politicians and the multiculturalists to do what comes natural to them. Ignore the evidence and crack down on white rural Saskatchewan gun owners instead. Whatever they do, they won’t look at the dysfunctional Jamaican family or question Jamaican cultural values. That would violate the 11th Commandment of Canada’s national religion: All cultures are equal.
To read that rag you have to have a totally socialist left leaning brain, in my opinion. Hell, I get angry when I just read any of the headlines. Same thing applies to the Calgary Herald, both owned by the same people. They, however, have been trying for decades to mold us knuckle dragging Westerners to be more
tolerant of a LIEberal society. All they've succeeded in doing is increasing the frustration and anger level with their namby pamby feel good all white Anglos are bad and owe everyone else a living attitude. These are the same wingnuts that push this enviro-nazis global warming bull$hitt, and encourage the hug a tree mentality. Then they whine when their circulation is in the tank.
Earth to all you Socialist/LIEberal elitists with your nose stuck up your butt, jealousy will get you NOTHING!.. get off your lazy ass and earn it like everyone else. I will NOT help, promote, submit, or contribute to your socialist & enviro-nazis idiocy. I refuse to follow your agenda, refuse to be brainwashed by you, hate who I want to hate, and will resist your every move. Why?... because you do not, and will not ever control my mind. I have the right to keep what I earn, and do NOT have to give you, or owe you anything. It's called FREEDOM a$$wipes, and I'll be greedy, prejudice, wasteful, and extravagant whenever the hell I want. You do NOT own the rights on Attitude, and it is NOT reserved only for socialists, lieberals, and enviro-nazis. In fact, my attitude, when looking at your abilities and contributions to society, is that you rate right up there with pond scum, narrow minded and single purposed.
Yes, single purposed. You call it redistribution of wealth. I call it theft. Very little of any money ever makes it to it's intended destination. Hell, even world hunger would have been solved decades ago if half the money that was fed into it reached the recipient. Pick anything. Hunger, global warming, poverty, and the list goes on, and you'll find that the majority of cash is skimmed off in bureaucracy. Your goal is only money, for yourselves, and your chosen prey is the sympathy of society. Throw a few bucks at the cause, and keep your zombie alarmist wound up, and your rolling in the cash. That's consumes the total focus of your mind, and you'll scheme, lie, maintain oppression and entitlement, and do anything necessary,
with the exception of working and making a contribution to society, to achieve that end.
Aaaah.... I feel better know... oh yeah... the post. Tim Murray's analysis is bang on when it comes to multiculturalism. The combination of multiculturalism and lieberalism, along with a few other things, continues to screw this country up.
