I wish I had said this - multiculturalism in Canada

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Never a truer word spoken, here in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area)! Here we now have a vast enclave of multicultural ghettos whose members (depending on the nature of their hyphen) refuse to associate with any others, and woe betide anyone not of their ilk to venture forth therein, especially at night.

Even 15 years ago, I was refused service in a goddam convenience store because I was a white anglo male... this is NOT the Canada our forefathers fought for!

The violence itself here is ridiculous now, orchestrated and perpetuated by gangs from just about every corner of the third world, and mostly against each other - yet the police are mostly hamstrung, because the citizens of these urban ghettos will rarely talk to them, even if they're known to be witnesses.

Even when the criminals are caught, they're usually back out on the streets shortly thereafter because of the laxness built into our failing judicial system, which at times seems designed to coddle the guilty and punish the innocent. All in the name of "human rights" and "multicultural diversity".

This is disgraceful.

And I won't even get into the fact that in the midst of a civic workers' strike (no outdoor services including garbage pickup and a mayor without the balls to stand up for us), the city welcomed the Gay Pride Parades last weekend but canceled Canada Day celebrations here in Toronto. You figure it out.

I can't blame anyone here for wanting to find another, better place to live - I'm certainly working towards that myself now. Even my trip to Cambridge last Wednesday for the Canada Day parade was a breath of fresh air! The politicians here - at all levels - have certainly sold us out over the last 40 years and I for one am sick of it!!

I could go on and on...
