What does this mean? Old Chinese in Canada ie....those that came early are no problem and very well integrated even down to facial expressions etc.. I use my doctor as a prime example of a typical integrated Chinese-Canadian. I have observed this objectively to try and get a handle on this separateness....and ATTITUDE IS THE MAIN COMPONENT..Most old chinese do not like the new chinese....and the hong kongers don't like the mainlanders...the losers are the old chinese as they are more integrated but poorer and the new immigrants affect them also. So if old chinese are integrated that means eventually the new ones will be as well...After all the chinese built the railways here in canada back in the 19th century.. So what are the impediments to integration? 1. Religion. 2. Culture. 3. Language... Religion can never be overcome as it is by nature divisive.... Culture eventually will more integrated through the generations. Language is a strong impediment as it forces people to be separate.... This is why people like Trudeau had to admit they had failed in multi culturalism....as the 3 points above were not only almost encouraged but were even funded!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? for votes. The sad thing is that in some communities such as the Sikhs some new generations have turned to gangs and crime although they do not come from a poor background. I feel this is due to a breakdown in communication between parents and children---due to language and archaic rural attitudes the parents have... The only solution to that is that visa to be issued to people who can speak working english and have tests in consulates. Otherwise women get imported into the same rural culture but in a different country and this leaves them open to domestic violence and abuse....in mostly silence...as they cannot communicate outside the culture... So it boils down to 'When in Rome do as the Romans do'. You can see how difficult this is, as i am wrestling with it myself; Trying to understand what has become a bit of a mess.. I know that if I went to a country to live or spend time...I would at least get the rudiments of the language culture etc etc...Unlike many of the North Europeans don't do in Spain and Greece etc.. So multi culturalism is natural and divisive but should not be encouraged or funded so it becomes entrenched...Again the Americans 'Melting Pot' was the best policy and even they have moved from that position somewhat...So the only solution really is; 1. To get a permanent resident visa one must have a proficiency in the host country language...and an understanding to the country's culture and social mores...plus the bill of rights or charter of rights and freedoms. 2. Multi culturalism should not be encouraged by funding temples and clubs etc....or 'buying votes' by politicians. 3. To access services --the national language should be used...no interpreters at all.,,,So no driving licenses or citizenship without language...

Or more accurately, it's like a streetcar that you take only as long as you believe it will get you to your destination, otherwise you hop off. That is exactly what Islam is doing.

According to a recent survey, more than 30% of Germans believed that their country was "overrun by foreigners". Mrs Merkel also stressed that immigrants who lived in Germany needed to do more to integrate, including learning to speak German. 35 minutes ago · Like M my country switzerland is really overrun with foreigners. the worst are the north africans ( moslems). at least 90% of these shitheads steal plunder and molest our women and collect money from the state. they do not come here with the intention of integrating or ever working. 14 minutes ago · Like Tony O'Clery Here in Canada it was muliti racial...and that is what we have to get back to................ 9 minutes ago · Like Write a comment...
