That's misguided at best. You make it sound like we are all hardcore hermits wearing hijabs.
Immigrants who want to live in Canada learn their culture, language and even learn to like hockey! It's no small task.
But don't confuse that with us willing to erase our mother tounge, religion or traditions, we couldn't even if we tried.

So where were your grand parents from?

No but in Canada it's great to have many options available:

- Indian
- Chinese
- Vietnamese
- German
- Mexican
- Nepalese
- Malaysian
- Brasilian
- Korean
- Ukranian
- Peruvian .....
I know there are more, but those are the ones I have tried here in Vancouver and just in a radius of 3 to 4 blocks from where I live.
Only in Canada we are fortunate to have these options.

As a Canadian I say this: (as has been discussed many times before)

- What is Canadian identity? First of all we need to accept that we IDENTIFY very strongly with the US (culturally, economically, strategically). So denying it does not grant us identity, just makes us look like hypocrites. The strongest Canadian values we have are our (misunderstood) compassion and generosity. Many times I have witness how Canadians jump to help in times of need without hesitation and I recognized that as truly Canadian.

- There are way more important issues for the CRTC than being the cultural champion for our society (that is actually the job for Heritage Canada http://www.pch.gc.ca./ We have a pressing need for guaranteeing communication access to all Canadians (internet, phone, cell phone) as a competitive service and not serving special interests groups (Bell, Rogers, Shaw, etc). Monitoring profanity and violence is non existent in radio and some tv shows, surprising for a conservative government. More access to diverse cultural (and political) views from varying parts of the country.

So in essence, the same ridiculous quotes from the Harper government to distract Canadians from the real issues and convince them of the virtues of his schemes.

I can read your mind, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
