What does scare me though, is with the growing rate of immigration, would one of those people that walked past that dying child, walk past a dying Canadian? Are we going to start seeing the same indifference in our country, and people protected by the "It is a cultural difference, we let our citizens bleed to death in agony, and it is a hate crime to punish me for it." Knowing our government, I could see it happening.

This is where education comes in. I hope that these values are being taught in school and the news reports good sammaritan stories. Not just the Canadian news, but the ethnic news in Canada as well.
