What if you bring a coloured friend home... is that even allowed? Man you guys live in a bigger family-social box than most asian cultures.

I couldn't even compute the thought of moving to another country and making it change for me. People need to understand that while it's all well and good that they want to come here because it's a better way of life, it's our way of life and it shouldn't be changed because we offend a group. If someone is offended by things like saying merry christmas then they should get the ****** out.
interesting, I agree with the thought, that if I went to another country, I wouldn't expect them to change for me.
but ponder this...
so we shouldn't have to change "our way of life" for a group that may be offended.
but what if those new immigrants have children born here?....should these 100% true Canadians (who might have the same notions like their parents)
be allowed to change "our way of life"?...what if they're offended also, shouldn't we change for them then?
what if, some time in the future... more than 50% of Canadian Citizens (whether new immigrants, or kids of immigrants who were born here) think different than "our way of life"
should we change then?....majority rules no?
yeah, I know there's difference between Canadian Citizenship and Canadian Culture, but isn't a culture determined by it's people?.....just something to think about...peace.
Ok I'll Jump in..
I've got ZERO issues with people moving to Canada for a better way of life, escaping war torn countries, etc. but DON'T bring your **** here.
BUT!
Canada as a whole has become too much of a bleeding heart, pro-political correctness arena. As others have stated, and I agree, you would not expect to move to a foreign country and have that country change their culture, ways and beliefs for you, but that is what's happening in Canada.
When it's taboo to say Merry Christmas, for example, is pointing at what's going wrong, and it's only getting worse. I've see places like Pearson airport this year (for the first year) with no Xmas decorations at all, anywhere. Only airport in Canada with nothing. Why? When questioned, the powers that be mumbled something about not wanting to offend anyone. EXCUSE ME??? We are in Canada, not _______ (insert foreign country)
i believe there is a very Grey line with what people believe is racist. If I say I don't like a certain culture because they tend to not take care of their house and bring the whole area down, or their
driving is horrible, I don't believe that's racist. It's come to a point where ANYTHING you say is now racist, which is ********.
people here raise a good point, the only people not allowed to be racist are white people between 18-75 lol.
There are SO many things going wrong nowadays that it's a downward spiral.
That being said, I love boobies

You do raise some good points. However I'll stick to my we shouldn't change the basis of our culture for anyone. If someone from somewhere else moves here and is offended they can always go back where they came from.

I agree totally with all this.
Also I have to consider whitey going around the world (back in the day) twisting everybodys' arm to comply to his way. But he's crying foul now? American and ally foreign policy, even today, is pretty heavy handed towards off colour people.
And talking about Christmas, how about shoving Christianity down brown peoples' throat?
That being said, tough titties
Isn't that what drones are for?
Details. What's a couple civilians here and there. (sarcasm)

Can't explain it exactly but you'll know it when it's gone.

RESPECTING other people. Enjoying a slower, simpler pace.
Hockey, Beer, a fishing pole and a lake in the summer, enjoying the snow in the winter instead of just bitching about it.
Seeing what has been "custom" in this country start to change because of the new arrivals in the last 20 years so that we can bend to the wishes of these guests... How about the true Canadians that recognize the maple leaf as the symbol of their true home? Nobody in the government seems to give a damn about how they feel.
It blows seeing this country head the way it's heading... I guess Britain isn't a good enough example.
spot on...
I don't know, everything Canadian came from somewhere else, look at Canadian money, I'm pretty sure there is no Canadian queen.
True Canadians retire in florida to avoid the snow. While the Canadians are enjoying the slower simpler pace of life the immigrants are working hard to make a life. There is nothing slow and simple here, most people live pay cheque to pay cheque.
Are people in Quebec true Canadians? Must I dislike the East Coaster, or west coasters or newfies and natives to be a true Canadian?
I find it really funny when people defend this thing call "our" when they don't even know what it is. The immigrants coming are destroying your culture what ever that is just like the natives' culture was destroyed by the anglo immigrants. It's the circle of life deal with it and just be glad you aren't being put in trains and shipped off to reservations as well
