Drop it Like a Trig Class, I Say

Multiculturalism loosing(sic) ground in Canada. Nice knowing you (Just kidding! I hate you! Tee-hee!). From the article:
"The poll conducted by SES Research showed as many as 53 percent Canadians believed immigrants should "adapt fully" to Canadian culture. Just 18 percent agreed with the statement "it is reasonable to accommodate religious and cultural minorities."

Of course, we should be, and perhaps are now, learning from the problems multi-culturalism has brought to similar countries[pdf]. From that pdf: "Germany’s new Chancellor Angela Merkel has pronounced that ‘multicultural society cannot succeed’."

A counterpoint from the article:
"We welcome immigrants. ... And we need those immigrants, which is why we should be able to celebrate our diversity."
No, we don't need them. We don't need anybody -- we can do anything we want on our own if we so choose, and while not having to worry about the concomitant social problems all this never-before-tested mass immigration brings. Only national sell-outs who care only for money want more immigration. Their arguments for multiculturalism always come from a greed. A very shortsighted one at that, I would say.

I'm an immigrant and I'm not offended by your opinion. However, I'd like to remind you that there are immigrants and immigrants. You may refuse entry to all, but a better deal is to find a way to accept only those who would be useful to Canada.

Of course, my post never says that immigration should be ended. Only that multiculturalism should.

It does say that immigration is not "needed" as some say. This is true. But that doesn't mean that immigration is bad either.

Your point is well taken at my end here.
