But this is predicated upon the person&#8217;s becoming in every facet a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Canadian, but something else also, isn&#8217;t a Canadian at all. We have room <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Canadian people.&#8217; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Wilfrid Laurier 1907 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Every Canadian citizen and \u201cCanadians to be\u201d needs to read this! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Multi Culturalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Every ethnic group has its\u2019 own time proven and time tested culture, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">customs, traditions and practices that are peculiar and conducive to its\u2019 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">own requirements; way of life; and in accordance with their geo-physical<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">location on the face of the Earth. In some instances religious faiths too <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">merge or bears influence with these cultural practices. It can also be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">construed as their heritage. Canada too is no exception; with its\u2019 well <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">established, cherished and renown culture, customs, traditions and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In addition the Canadian Society truly boasts and prides itself in its <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">tolerance, respect and understanding of Multi Culturalism in our great <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">land. Which fact is established and World re-nowned. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Multi Ethnicity. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Ethnicity can be defined as each group\u2019s emergence from their evolution <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">based on common history; linkage\/relationship to one another; their <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">language. It also includes their past beliefs in legends; their archeological <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">findings and artifacts; inclusive of customs that stems down from heritage <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">and posterity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Difference between Multi Culturalism &amp; Multi Ethnicity. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The difference is very subtle indeed. But Multi Culture brings along with its <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">complexity and at times hard to comprehend\/assimilate customs &amp; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">traditions; which are at most times, very different and challenging to the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">already existing traditions &amp; customs of the land to which these alien <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">traditions &amp; cultures are brought. Therein lies an area of conflict that are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">soon resolved by Political; Lobbyists; and other interested parties that do <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">not appear to understand the long term effect on its time tested cultural <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">fabric of the Land. Changing one\u2019s own culture &amp; tradition to accommodate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">one that is alien; which seems to lead to some dissension. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">On the other hand Multi Ethnicity is a concept that members of various<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">ethnicity or ethnic groups interact with each other while they carry on <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">maintaining their own customs, traditions and cultural practices; which <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">includes their own Faith in Religions. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So one may ask oneself \u2013 Are we Multi Cultural or Multi Ethnic? <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Polarization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The down-size to Multi Ethnicity would be the \u201cpolarization\u201d of individual <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">groups; as I\u2019m certain that we have encountered and continue to encounter <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">in our everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As such one is aghast at the many who do not seem to assimilate the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Canadian Way of Life; but call themselves Canadians. To add insult to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">injury is the fact that many hold what is called \u201cDual Citizenship\u201d. Which <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">is indicative of their divided Loyalty. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In Summary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It is a fact that almost all immigrations (immigrants) from far and wide <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">came to this great land of milk and honey, of their own accord. Most <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">seeking fresh pasture and yet some due to persecution in their own <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Motherland. This great Country accepted us with understanding, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">sympathy and magnanimity; regardless of caste, colour, creed or <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">religion. One must always think \u2013 What have we given back into this <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Land of Adoption? Or; what have we asked of this Land \u2013 Are these to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">contest the already existing traditions &amp; culture of this Land? &#8211; It\u2019s yours <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">to ponder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Every immigrant brings along with him\/her the rich and wonderful <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Customs and Traditions which are time-tested and seethed in heritage <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">that is conducive to and pertinent to the Land he\/she lived in. These are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">an education to be imparted on the People of their land of Adoption; but <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">in no way must this be imposed on the existing Customs &amp; Traditions. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The Canadian Public do admire; appreciate; relish and enjoy the \u201cshowcasing\u201d of the various Customs &amp; Traditions that have been imported <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">and exhibited publicly and so flamboyantly. It is when these are lobbied <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">to change the existing Customs &amp; Traditions that conflicts arise and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">much animosity created.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So Dear Readers, think Canadian First; but never forget your roots; your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">culture, customs &amp; traditions. Do practice these within your own circles <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">of Family; Friends; Well-wishers and Ethnic Group. You owe that to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">yourself and your progeny. But always remember that you owe this great <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">country; for having accepted you as one of its valued subjects. Go with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">the flow, strive to enhance it if you can; and reap the harvest of peace,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">love and feeling of being wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In retrospect one can only summarize the above by referring to this <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Great Country as a Plate of Boiled Rice; with the various cultures and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">traditions as the side dishes to the rice. These side dishes can be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">selected to enhance the taste buds and all dishes may not be conducive <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">for this purpose; and to that end some may not be made use of in its <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">entirety or wholly. But do always keep in mind that this is your Plate of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Rice and is your main menu, that can be partaken sans any side dishes; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">perhaps only with a grain of salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">On a final note; please read the introduction that quotes the Great <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Politician Sir Wilfrid Laurier. His thoughts on Immigrants will be forever <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">etched in the minds of the Great Canadian Nation; and should certainly <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">be in each Canadian\u2019s and \u201cWant to be Canadians\u201d minds. Such Great <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Politicians are extremely hard to come by. For now, Politics appears to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">be a highly paid profession; and not a dedication that was the primary <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">resolve and tenacity of the Good Old Politicians of Yore. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It is also worthwhile to quote a Great U.S President \u2013 the late President<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">John F. Kennedy who said \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cAsk not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">With these two quotes I leave you, the learned Reader, to do and act the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">way you should to earn that \u201cPlate of Rice\u201d. Always remember that we <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">have only ONE \u201cNational Flag\u201d with the Maple Leaf prominently <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">displayed.
