Multiculturalism destroys the cultural integrity of a free and democratic society, and that is why the Bush immigration policy is bad news. Unfortunately, liberals would prefer to call people names rather than deal with the facts.

Take, for example, the current immigration debate. The choice of language we use in this situation is interesting. The technical term for people who have come into America without the proper paperwork is "illegal aliens." It's a powerful designation.

The notion of an "alien," aside from the slightly weird connotation about being from outer space, manages to convey that people are not really "at home" in the country where they're aliens. That's why they're "aliens." They're "strangers," in the old King James Bible usage of that word.

But the more powerful word in that phrase is the word "illegal." They are strangers who are, by their very presence in the country, breaking the law. Nothing could be simpler, more descriptive or more to the point – or more politically incorrect as far as liberals are concerned.

Cute sound-bite rhetoric -- "anglo-saxon self-hatred". But the article doesn't make a case of such self-hatred. Just as the charge "Canadians have been taught to "loathe" the Anglo-Saxon heritage" is leveled, but not explained, much less proven.

Perhaps the ambitious Tristan Emmanuel ought to concentrate on figuring out the facts of his Canadian history and current politics before trying to condemn Bush and all of America.

That's how I can tell the liberals in conservative drag on this site.

In the hands of the illegals, Bush's new policy will be used against America because instead of coming to America to be American, immigrants will come to America to turn it into Mexico – which begs questions like: Why did they leave Mexico to begin with?

Subsitute "Canada" for "Bush" and "American", and subsitute just about any country outside of Europe for "Mexico".

But because Canadians have been taught to "loathe" the Anglo-Saxon heritage, no one dared to mention that multiculturalism had given those old-world rivals a safe house in Canada from which to plan and carry out their terrorism. And that is why to this day hostile forces from alien traditions have been able to flourish in Canada – forces which, in the present context of terrorism and international upheaval, have the potential to threaten America's survival.

The Canadian policy is worse, but the sheer numbers due to proximity to Mexico will change American society very quickly.

<b>Kudos to Tristan. He get's it. It's about culture, and philosophy, not "race".

And some cultures and philosophies are preferable to others.

I'm not saying a person leaving a country cannot adapt and blend into our culture and philosophy because they are this or that colour.

But, multiculturalism ensures they will not only retain the baggage of their culture, but attempt to replicate these failed and less desirable cultures in in this country.

And numbers will determine if they are successful in morphing Western and Christian culture, into something else altogether.

And, for example, who wants an important or dominant Islamic culture in Canada?, because if you allow large scale immigration from such countries, and then encourage them to keep their ways with the blessings of multiculturalism, that's what you are going to get.

Way to go Tristan</b>

Of course, Canadians are too polite to say this, so we state it in the negative. In Canada, multiculturalism means the only thing any culture or religion can't say is that it is intrinsically, historically or in any objective way superior to any other culture or religion.

This has led to a situation where the Canadian federal government subsidizes new immigrants to retain their old-world culture and customs, and then wonders why the old-world rivalries of Sikhs versus Hindus or Tamils vs. Spaniards keep being played out in Canadian towns and cities.

Those are the best lines in the article.

I'm so tired of government sanctioned multiculturalism. It's worse than the conventional form of multicultism, because this version is signed sealed and delivered by the government. It's like all we do in Canada is celebrate our difference, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it weren't for the fact that it's just done wayyyy too much.

Unfortunately, I think so much damage has been done, that it may be just impossible to reverse this. Too many successive years of Liberal rule have just turned this country way to far into the Abyss of multiculturalism.

Yeah, whatever. When a conservative writes an article that makes a liberal whine like a toddler, it is a powerful endorsement.

Thanks!

By the way, this is Tristan's first article on WorldNetDaily. It would be really cool if we could send lots of clicks his way. It would be awesome to see another regular Canadian writer over there!

So what defines "acceptable" Canadian culture?

I propose we examine 1867 with great care and define "acceptable culture" based on the views of residents of that era living in Upper and Lower Canada and the Undecided Territories of the West.

And then lock those views, forever, as "Canadian", and the only culture open to anyone living here, or immigrating here. "Culture" has no business evolving. This is something, I am sure, any Right Thinking Political Party in Canada ought to embrace immeditately.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

All cultures evolve.

[CelebrateLife]

All cultures evolve.

Bingo. And this happens because of immigration. "Aliens" cross-pollinate, in general and on many levels, and don't take our first born into outer space.

I can define and name cultures in the Mideast that I would shudder to see become an important factor here.

This isn't about "Canadian Culture" per se. It's about the political culture that values liberty and limited government, the social culture that values respect for innocent human life and respect for women, and the economic culture which values independence and the entreprenurial impulse.

And yes, Western Culture, warts and all, is preferable to all these destructive, backwards, and failed cultures that Multiculturalism would treat as "equal" to Western Culture.
