It was more of a joke than an actual statement. I do believe we should fight harder to create and establish a Canadian identity. Today, any immigrant can come here and change the way society lives. I believe you should be able to celebrate and practice your beliefs. I also believe that us, as Canadians, should be able to celebrate what has made us Canadian all these years.
I remember when I was in elementary school we used to get together every morning for 30 minutes and sing xmas carols on the last week before xmas holidays (you can't even call them xmas holidays in our own country any more). A good friend of mine, then and now, was Jewish. He and another girl would go sit in the library or the arts room with our Jewish music teacher and do whatever they wanted. They loved the half hour, and we loved the half hour. It was diversity at its finest. This can't exist anymore because people have to OUR country and thrown their beliefs in our face. We are such a meek nation that we allowed it.
I believe that if you don't support the way our country was founded then you should tow the line and just keep your mouth shut. Our identity as a nation is crumbling because we are so passive.
