Awkwardly un-Canadian

Retrograde politics. Wait I'll say it again retrograde politics. An article from the G&M called Enough of multiculturalism – bring on the melting pot. I am sorry but who missed the memo - re: Racism is bad for politics. Maybe that weird half and half to the south is the aberration but somehow I doubt it. American's are known for making history not otherwise. I guess Canadians can now be known for trying desperately to avoid the inevitable march of cultural globalization. Lucky us.

You are appealing to an increasingly smaller demographic when you start randomly requesting that people must start behaving as if they were white just like you just to satisfy some baseless fear that difference is somehow more difficult to manage than 'sameness' imposed from above.
