Speak English
Oh dear. Maybe he should've posted this in the unpopular opinions thread on CP instead of an opinion piece for the Herald. Apparently Canada is bilingual only, and we should have people policing to that effect.
Quote:
Being patriotic labels you a racist. I was at Westbrook Mall waiting for a dentist appointment in the food court area. Three obviously almost deaf Italian-or Spanish-speaking men were speaking their native language loudly. I walked up and asked if they were Canadian citizens. They all said yes (in English).
I then asked them if they could please speak English. They asked me why. I said being a Canadian means speaking English or French; Canada is bilingual only.
They shrugged their shoulders.
I went back to my coffee. Not 10 seconds later, they started speaking their language again. I got up and yelled, "You want to speak your language, go back to your country." Two security guards approached me and said these men come there almost every day, and they can speak whatever language they want.
I yelled at them, "You are obviously immigrants that don't remember why you came to Canada; to start a new life, you two did." They then asked me to leave. I said phone the cops, I have a dentist appointment. I then went to my appointment.
It's almost illegal to be patriotic. Canada needs language police. Go figure, eh?

I think the country was built through immigration......

What a loser.
I wonder if he realizes that you can go to many countries in world and openly speak English despite it not being an official language of those countries.

Lol, that has to be fake. No way would those guys just shrug and forget about it. I'd tell the guy to go f himself. And then I would speak even louder in my own language with my buddies and point at him and laugh.

I would have said well formed troll to get past the BS detectors, but there is a Berry Whiteley in Calgary according to Google, so no idea of it's the same guy.

^^^ While I don't agree with his racism, that Facebook quote is referring to a larger problem that the Federal government does battle - "Citizens of convenience". They only show up when it's advantageous to them, but reside elsewhere. This is a problem in a lot of first world countries,
Barry chooses to go about it a very racist, ignorant and obnoxious manner.
