Please do not forward me your hate mongering.
a quick note about nations.
A nation is a form of self-defined cultural and social community.(Wikipedia) not a country.
Many countries are "nation states". ie Germany.
CANADA is a MULTI-NATION country.
If the Québécois, can be a nation within Canada, and have the official anthem changed to be part English and part French, then what is to prevent any other nation in Canada from doing the same. Canada has a large Cree nation and a large Hindi population (not yet an official nation), and we have opened up the floor to this discussion by not labelling separatists as treasonous.
In Quebec at the moment they are actively trying to disallow the vote to non French speaking citizens. (thats right California is not the only place human rights are going backward).
1)OBVIOUSLY a person dose not deserved to be fired for speaking ones mind in Canada. Anyone! Not even misguided racist hate mongering fools. (many of the people in this email qualify)
2)If Hindi's wish to petition the government to be recognized as a nation, thats there right. The same rights many died to defend.
3)Adding more official nations to a united Canada, makes the nation stronger as well as reducing any other nation in Canada's ability to act unilaterally.
the feeling in this email resonated with racism, please ask your self before you forward such, if its possible that what your feeling is a fear of loss of the Anglo-Saxon's dominate position. Or is it a genuine problem to be fixed?
Yes we need to petition to have this mans job reinstated, but lets do it with out becoming misguided racist hate mongering fools.
