If you move to Canada...


Let's get one thing straight, right off the bat. Canada is still a democratic country. While it is recognized that there is no universal definition for 'democracy', it is largely understood that it is characterized by the principle of political and social equality for all. If you've stopped laughing by now, read on... Now, let's talk immigration. If I wanted to immigrate to say... Germany, I would do so with the implicit understanding that I would have to learn to read and write German, as well as adopt the German way of life. After all, I am moving to their country. If I do so, it is because I too want to become a German. That is the purpose of immigration. I would not be so arrogant as to assume that Germany would bend to my way of doing things. I would not be so arrogant as to assume that the German government and the German people owed me any special favors, just because I had decided to grace them with my presence.

I would certainly not think that I was entitled to build my own section of Canada, inside Germany, where I would then live outside of the laws and conventions of German society, because let's face it, they're not good enough for my kind. What kind of insult would that be to the country and it's people? I would be rightfuly classified as an "Auslander" and probably harassed.


"But some people leave their country because life there is unfair, or too hard, or too dangerous...". No kidding... Leaving one's country has never been seen as an active means of addressing whatever ailments it might have. Transporting the cultural and religious baggage that made that life so hard, or unfair, or dangerous, to another country...only serves to spread the insanity around. It doesn't make anyone's life better. Have you ever wondered why there are no long queues here in Ottawa, which form outside the embassies of Muslim nations...?

Immigration implies that I want to become as those in my host country. Those who decide to move into another country and set up a small version of the country from which they came, are not immigrating. They are invading. There is a marked difference between the two.

"They want to move to Canada so that they can be free...". Ummm... No! If that were in fact the case, they would not persistently hold onto the same cultural and ideological beliefs which imprisonned them in their home country in the first place.

Does nobody read the brochures before they decide to immigrate here? Ah, wait.... Yeah, they probably do. I keep forgetting that our country, to say nothing of our birthright, is being traded in order to expand the taxation base, regardless of where the constituents of said taxation base come from. Yes, I know. Birth rates here in Canada are at an all-time low in many Provinces. There's a reason for that, you know... Canadians know full well how much it costs nowadays to have and raise children in Canada. I know those who lord over us would have no idea, but take it from me... It's prohibitively expensive...

So seriously...? You're going to import hordes of foreigners (immigration quotas are going up every year...) who are used to/willing to get along with far less, in order to make up for the shortfall not in taxation revenues, but for your own personal greed? Let's face it... Much of our tax dollars are severely mis-spent in the first place. And all the while telling us to not wish people a Merry Christmas, because they might be offended as they're not from around here where we happened to grow up? I have a much better idea. Notably in light of events which have transpired around the globe since 9/11.

Here's the deal....

1. Anyone who might be offended by a native Canadian wishing them a Merry Christmas, show 'em the way to the nearest airport. As stated, I don't believe in religions of any kind, but taking offense at any type of well-wishes (notably one which is endemic to your new country of residence...) is the sign of an unstable mind. You "gots to go..."

2. Anyone who thinks that the establishment of sharia law in Toronto (although they may well deserve it...) or anywhere else in Canada is a good idea, should be shot in the street, without any type of dialogue being offered. This type of howling ignorance is far too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Using the whims or edicts of any perceived deity (delusion) to base a system of laws or government, can only be described as insanity. Encouraging the establishment of such laws, knowing they will rob newly-arrived female immigrants of their rights and drag them back some eight centuries in time, as well as crush any type of civil liberties they might enjoy as Canadians, well... I'm not even going to touch that...

3. Muslims: Before you decide to even consider moving here, you should think of leaving your 'religion' at home. I understand that for many of you, your 'religion' is worth more than your life. We will never see eye to eye on this so perhaps it's best if you just don't come at all. Your beliefs are great for you, but they hold you back in the tenth or eleventh century. They are not compatible with modern, progressive society. A caveman with a Blackberry is still a caveman, only trendier... More and more, Islam is being driven by the religious zealots, while those who claim to be 'moderates' do and say nothing to counter this trend. In the name of the greater good (read: Canadians who presently inhabit this goddamn country...), we know which team the bad guys are on. Hint: They are NOT red-headed Irish gentlemen. They aren't about to give us programs listing who the baddies are either, and the so-called 'good ones' are not going to be of any assistance to us, for fear of being labelled 'traitors' by their psycopathic stable-mates and having 'fatwas' issued against them. If these were Italian mobsters issuing hits on their rivals, they'd be in jail faster than you could say "John Gotti". But since all this idiocy is masquerading under the guise of 'religious freedoms', we apparently don't know what the Hell to do... Fear not, I do...

So guess what? You should obviously be labelled as traitors by the Canadian population, herded onto whatever means of transport is available and sent back whence you came. Enough is enough... Our borders should be closed to those who have not managed to make it here so far. Yes, any politician would say: "These are the politics of fear!!" Well, horseshit to you... These aren't politics, this is common sense. The two are mutually exclusive, apparently. And it's not based on 'fear' but on self-preservation... you know, that trait that you've been trying to breed out of us North Americans for the last 40 to 50 years now? Yes, it's called religious profiling and it actually works... How shocking is that!?!?!
If our neighbors to the South ever developed the balls to exercise such an immigration screening program, they could save billions on security expenditures and free up precious resources to carry out other pressing missions or maybe invest in other social programs. It's such a grand idea that the Dutch (of all people in the EU...) have adopted this idea and the Germans are giving it serious consideration as well. True, we haven't had any persons of note 'slaughtered in the streets of Ottawa' as of yet, but give it time. We have had a few 'honour killings' across the country, but of course the various authorities and the media (surprisingly...) have downplayed them as being of little consequence. Aaaahhh...freedom of religion...ya gotta love it! But what do I know...

I'm not saying that I'm death on immigration. I'm just saying we need to ensure that those who are allowed access to Canada be the type of people we don't have to monitor 24/7 and who actually share our values and beliefs. Is that so friggin' hard? Does that really sound so unreasonable? Entrance to this country and access to the opportunities it offers, is an honour and a priviledge. It should be afforded only to those who want to become Canadians, with all that this entails. The much vaunted "multiculturalism" pipe-dream has come to naught, I'm afraid.
We have become not a melting pot, but a collection of solitudes. Much to the detriment of our population as a whole. We have been made to embrace and respect every culture but our own. A country that would prostitute itself to such an extent, is one that is ripe for conquest by any other country/race that actually has an identity. It is time perhaps that we took control of our country once more. It is definitely well past time, that we remind our so-called elected officials as to where that line lies that they dare not cross.
