OTTAWA – One-in-five people in Canada is foreign-born according to census numbers released Tuesday, an immigration surge unprecedented in a quarter-of-a-century and one that comes as the country grapples with acts of overt racism that fly in the face of Canada’s reputation for tolerance.
The “overt racism” mentioned here, whatever is meant by that, is an over statement. Canadians are continuously insulted with accusations of racism no matter what it is we do.
But any kind of racism in Canada shouldn’t be surprising when we have an immigration policy more akin to government complicity in the colonization of its own citizens by foreign nations. Denied any avenue of protest, be it in the media of government, then acts of “overt racism” should be expected as citizens take their anger and frustrations out on immigrants, when those most deserving of scorn, are the nation’s politicians, our moral superiors in the media, and those in the immigration industry whose livelihood is dependent on the legal trafficking of people and the sale of Canadian citizenship at rock bottom prices.
The only recourse available to many Canadians to escape the multicultural madness that is Toronto… is to move away. That’s why many immigrants may get the cold shoulder treatment and the cut-eye when outside of Toronto. It’s not that Canadians have anything against the immigrant but they have a problem with what that immigrant represents: neo-colonialism or reverse colonialism.
They do not want the town where they now reside to endure what has happened to Toronto. That’s why they left Toronto in the first place. They want to live in Canada…not some “multicultural wonderland”, so they may try to make the immigrant feel unwelcome and out of place and hopefully leave. If Canadians wanted to live in India they’d move to Mumbai.
While “neo-racism” that infects society through subtle, systemic practices has largely been the focus of anti-racism crusaders, recent reports of assaults against Asian fisherman in Ontario and open anti-Muslim sentiment in Quebec have become the subject of inquiries and commissions.
What this writer calls “neo-racism”, and trying to make himself look smart in the process, is actually a backlash that immigration and multiculturalism fosters. And the subtle racism that he talks about is quite prevalent in immigrant communities expressed towards those of the host population and other immigrants as well.
Canada garners kudos from around the world for laws promising equality for all, but experts say the true test of a tolerant nation is in day-to-day living.
The fact that he wrote that exposes the bias of the writer and the kind of article you’re reading. Any article that says things to the effect that “Canada is a model to the world, we set than standard by which others pass or fail, and all the eyes of the world are on us” …should be taken with a grain of salt and should be considered propaganda, not news.
Canada garnering “kudos from around the world” is what journalists, politicians and immigrant groups who want to keep Canadian attitudes soft, regarding the colonization of their country, would generally say. There is nothing to really prove that “Canada garners kudos from around the world”.
To think that policy makers and national populations the world over think of Canada when discussing domestic policy… is narcissistic and self-congratulating. Canadians need to understand that NO ONE THINKS OF CANADA AS MUCH AS WE TELL OURSELVES THAT THEY DO.
How often do you think of Chad let alone know where that country is? How about New Zealand or Chile? The truth of the matter is, that we don’t think of those countries often if at all. Should we expect to believe that the good people of New Zealand stop and ask themselves “how do they do things in Canada?” …..If you do…. I bet you also read the Toronto Star.

If you think that the plane loads of (LEGAL) immigrants (5000 foreign arrivals EVERY week!) who chose Canada, is evidence that Canada is doing something right, then you should understand something (else): Canadian citizenship is one of the best deals in town. It is one of the easiest to obtain in the industrialized world with some of the fewest strings attached and it allows access to one of the most generous social programs in the world. It’s a bargain and it says a lot about the immigrants this country receives. So what kind of immigrants are coming here let alone say about Canada? Here is something to ponder: If Canada has to continuously cheapen its citizenship requirements to attract immigrants, then the vast majority of immigrants will come from the third world …and what’s worse, living in Somalia or enduring six months of a Canadian winter? Canada also recognizes dual citizenship so it’s not like you’ve totally left your country is it? >>READ MORE
