Continued...The simple fact is that Canada was never a mono-culture, nor was it ever white, or solely Christian in identity or composition.  Canada has always been multicultural, multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious.  Our Canadian identity, I believe, is best exemplified by the fact that we have learned to live in relative peace and harmony despite our differences, and have benefited greatly as a result, not in spite, of our diversity.  The Canada you appear to long for never even existed, it is a figment of the imagination.  Moreover, Canada has never been more peaceful and prosperous than it is today.  We certainly need to learn to share this wealth more equitably, but nevertheless, Canada remains prosperous and a greater, more inclusive society, than on the day it was born. I only wish some of my fellow Canadians could learn to accept and embrace this fundamental truth.
