You live in North America, you are North American. I am not against multiculturalism or the hotpot, but we do have certain standards and just as immigrants and refugees need to learn English, they need to respect the values of the larger culture. I see Africans, Eastern Europeans, Hispanics, Jews and other groups bend over backwards. Even Natives want to get with the times while keeping their language and traditions on the side.
But say with this stand-off in Caledonia, it is a different issue. Canadians should not be banned from showing their own flag. It is not that I am going to rip up an Ethiopian or American flag, but it is Canada. It is one thing to speak Cree and go to the cultural and arts center twice a week and a whole other thing to be militant and separatist. It is one thing to be a moderate or conservative Muslim and a whole other thing to support the agenda of extremists.
