make no mistake muslims have no intention of integrating into western society . in Canada or the USA. they hve an agenda and that is the conversion of the world (no shit) to Islam. they have no tolerance or acceptance of anyone who is not Muslim. if you are not Muslim you are an infidel. they might talk the talk but in the end you dont exist unless you are Muslim and yes they know their rights in Canada..

Bollocks. Muslims in N. America are among the most well integrated immigrant groups in Canada and the US.

I have been to a few mosques now and all the people at them were very welcoming of me being there. As are most religious institutions I have been too.

Funny but in the west we say the same about francophones.

kenmore kenmore:

give me a break... Bartsimpson... francophones are not bigots far from it.. Quebec is the only province with balls enough to tell it like it is. if immigrants like muslims want to come here they should be willing to fit in and not try and change the culture and customs of canada.. in Quebec we have to take steps necessary to protect out language and culture.. the numbers of immigrants is steadily increasing and in canada people need to ensure that the way of life as we know it in not put in jepardy by those who come here to take and grab and are not willing to adjust .. we are not bigots in Quebec we welcome immigrants but we will not allow them to overrun us and our way of life..

This is rich, a Frenchman wanting to stop accomadation...don't make me laugh..
the rest of Canada has been putting up with their political diatribe and blackmale for years..
where would the French be if we had sent all of the french down south after the Plains of Abraham
speaking Creole is what...if the rest of Canada has to put up with you, then its long overdue
for you to turn the other cheak and take some of it yourself...paybacks sweat isn't it lol

LOL NO you just over run the rest of Canada's way of life...nice try tho

Funny that Quebec is worried about immigration and integration. I think they need to look at themselves first and how they "intergrated" with the rest of Canada. The few times that I passed through Quebec I came across alot of ignorance and arrogance from the locals. Parlez vous Englais doesn't seem to be in alot of their vocabularies. And from speaking to many of my British colleagues who have encountered the French-Canadians, they are of the same opinion.

Cape ape your nick says it all... I mean your intelligent response is not worthy of a response... and there is more to the Plains of Abrhaham and the subsequent British North America Act than the english won and the french lost...... speaking of bigots.... look in the mirror

[camerontech]

to say that quebecors and frenchman are more bigoted than anyone else in the country is bigotry in itself. every area has a group or two with extremist views about immigration and integration Quebec, Newfoundland or Alberta is no different.

i dont think that Quebeckers are more or less bigoted than anyone else.. they are just more vocal about protecting what they see
as important interests.

i wonder though if they arent reflecting what is becoming more prevalent in Canada.. the frustration of people with immigrants
who really refuse to integrate, and who furthermore want to change Canadian society

There is maybe a conflict between a vision of the past, where
everyone ( mostly white people ) integrated without problems..
we all spoke English or French, and the cultural diversity was celebrated in small pockets of the city ( little Italy, Chinatown).

That seems to have changed, and many people are not so welcoming anymore.....

and it will probably continue..

I can imagine what the response would be if Albertans were as vocal about protecting important issues.

It just depends on how you define racism. As a hate crime only white will end up before a human rights tribunal. There IS a double standard.

[commanderkai]

Oh we all know Canada is probably more bigoted than most countries considering our lack of assimilation and with that, many cultures keep their bullshit bigotry against all the other cultures. We were just lucky that we were so diverse that we didn't have that huge of KKK/Black Panthers groups that were very vocal about their bullshit.

Mtbr...Albertans should take a stand and voice their opinions... so should all other provinces... I am not against immigration,, what I am against is multiculturalism and immigrants who want to come here for a better life .. then go about trying to change our culture and system..they try to negate Christmas and all other Christian celebrations.. forcing for example the city I live in to remove the nativity scene from the city park.. this was fought and it was allowed... I am sick of being told to be politically correct... if we allow immigration to fragment and erode us then we only have ourselves to blame..most governments will do what ever it takes to get votes.. if you want to label me a bigot for my beliefs then so be it... this is no joke .. we will be the ones assimilated if we dont stand up...
