The last time I was in Toronto, it didn't feel like a vibrant melting pot of cultures. It felt more like an international economic zone. The Indians, Pakistanis, Jamaicans, Africans, Whites and Chinese pretty much stick to their own enclaves. I didn't get a sense of shared Canadian-ness.
Sorry, when muslims complained and forced a Christian teacher to remove her cross you started a religious cultural battle. You don’t like the cross well guess what, what’s fair is fair.
Indeed, what's frustrating about her story is she was actually at one time integrated as a Canadian, but decided to change all of that in mid-adulthood because jumping on the race hustling train was too profitable to pass up.
Canada is NOT a land of immigrants. The more apt description would be to say that It is a land of extended-stay expats, at this point. Honestly, as an immigrant, acquiring Canadian citizenship felt just like getting a Costco Membership. I think that there is something missing when I think about a sense of Canadian national identity. What is it? What makes people feel Canadian? If you want to experience Canadian multiculturalism, just visit any major international airport around the world and that about sums it up. There is nothing that allows to me "feel Canadian". It is a franchise model of multiculturalism. Domino's Pizza pretty much. There is no real mixing between groups. The European-descent are doing their own thing. The Quebecois have their own little ethno-nationalist state. Indo-Canadians doing their own thing. The Chinese doing their own thing. And so on. There may be some intermingling but honestly minimal, even in cities like Toronto or Montreal. The whole immigration/multiculturalism has been promoted, branded, marketed, etc because the capitalist class of Canada - the ones that are really running the gig - need new people as if they were running human farm.

Here in Canada multiculturalism has led to more "unwritten" ethnic segration than integration. Whites, Blacks, Asians, etc all Shun each other socially and keep pretending "co-existence" is a great achievement" lol
Jamaicans hate homosexaulity, they cannot stand it, but Canada promotes homosexuality This is just one of example as to why multiculturalism never works out
Mulitculturalism in Canada is a sham and has FAILED. I am a mixed race person, born and raised in Canada, who has come to realize over the years through experiences at work and (and out of work-) socializing that, Multiculturalism has NOT created a pluralistic democratic minded society open to change and adaption, but one that still revers - celebrates each singular ethnic identity above else . Look at vast majority of Whites, Asians, Blacks, Latinos in urban centres here they are " really happy and thrilled " to just to "survive" and live - exist next ( or as far apart if you will from) to each other and pretend this is multiculturalism. Most have Zero Interest in Learning anything about Canada anything let alone have any curiousity to learn something about another ethnic group's history, cultural background and values. Immigration is making this worse, and people are willingly retreating into this shell of unwritten segregation. To be more blunt, for a so called "multicultural;" city like Toronto, you hardly ever see inter-racial couples / marriages or gatherings, it is almost as if every racial group ( imbued also with their own prejudices and feelings of superiority ) prefers and wants to NOT "mix" or "mingle". Their mentality is inherently CONSERVATIVE. Many immigrants might vote Liberal NOT because they personally identify with liberal values, but because Liberal Politics is nothing more to them than a vehicle to get their own perks for themselves or family. Another example are many people from China who come to Canada just to exploit and milk it for their own benefits ( passports and making $$$$), they bring in lotta $$ in buy various homes and rent them out for tax free profit without even properly learning either any or properly English Language along the way ( even if they live here long enough) Divisions are already in Canada, lets not kid ourselves, but polite Canadians are much better than their American cousins at pretending there is NO problem in Canada, and saying "look at US . They are so so terrible". Too many double standards and hollow rhetoric going round these days. So you don't have be a Populist to see whats wrong.
I think the problem is the way almost every developped country are dealing with its immigration system. Nowadays it seems like country are taking immigrants for the sake of making money (off rich foreigners) or taking cheap labors (from poor immigrants, illegals, asylum seekers...) The gouvernement don't really care about assimilation, integration, social equality....they care about the economic impact $$$ or staying in powers.
@@YouYou-sm8tf true but also, let's just be honest and straightforward. there are no net benefits to immigration in the first place besides some ethic restaurant around the corner of the street. some Japanese Sushi restaurant or a Turkish kebab shop. in the West young people might even enjoy watching some foreign type of media like anime bit that wouldn't really mean much because the Japanese would still prefere to live within their own gated community just like anyone else. and immigration is good for the economy? not really. Japan and South Korea are extremely well developed and rich countries. both countries are almost ethnically homogenous. they bacame rich without the help of foreigner workers or immigrants. they became rich because they had something to export to the rest of the world. their products and services. so yes. multiculturalism, diversity and immigration are just an illusion that only serve multinational corporations. just cheap labour.
Excellent post. Canada is not a land of immigrants. It's basically a good place for extended-stay expats. International airport. Canadian citizenship = Costco Membership. The Canadian identity is no more than a franchise brand. Domino's Pizza. Also, as a colored immigrant, let me tell you that a lot of immigrants do try to integrate but they realize that they can't penetrate through the Canadian mainstream. We do not really live in a completely color-blind society. Canada maintains decency but a totally color-blind utopic level of integration is impossible. In the end, immigrants revert back to their own ethnic bloc, especially as people have children etc. A lot of Chinese-Canadians or Indo-Canadians born in Canada are super westernized and yet they prefer to hang out by themselves. Why do you think that is?
As an American who primarily leans Left, I commend you for your commentary. I live in a rather ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago and you just described my experiences, especially with regard to the Chinese.
The last time I was in Toronto, it didn't feel like a vibrant melting pot of cultures. It felt more like an international economic zone. The Indians, Pakistanis, Jamaicans, Africans, Whites and Chinese pretty much stick to their own enclaves.
Multiculturalism is doomed to fail because you need a grounded singular culture and language. In Canada there are too many cultures, we need monoculturalism. This is why China doesn't go full multiculturalism, nor Japan etc. One culture is superior.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
For what I learnt , multiculturalism its abt equality between men & women after living 3 decades in Canada. I hope Canada can achieve real equality & everyone see themselves as Canadian.
Multiculturalism doesn't exist in Canada. In Quebec there are 3 English universities, plus 10 English hospital, with one English huge new university hospital (M.U.H.C). In Ontario there is no french university and only one hospital where the government of Ontario tries to close. In Quebec 600 000 English people, and in Ontario 620 000 french people.
Quebecers have no reason to complain with all the provincial welfare they are getting via "equalization payments". Quebec is on the dole and contributes little or nothing to Canada. The rest of Canada pays everything for Quebec. They should be grateful for what they have.
If you want french to develop and grow, it is not by isolating in your corner that the rest of the country would care for you. Quebec really hates anything that is not francophone and white.
She's right when she says that hate crime come from fear and ignorance. But people like her rarely have the courage to ask this simple question: Why do so many people fear Islam? I can't recall how many attacks happened in mosques in Pakistan and Afganistan because there are so many. How many Shiites and Sunnites kill each other in Irak and elsewhere? What Islamists say about homosexuality? What do Fundamentalist say to woman when thay wear a mini-kirt in the street? So, I'm not surprise if some people have harsh words for islamic veil because they associate the veil with fundamentalism and his bad sides. In the same way I would understand if some Africans have bad words for me in Africa as a white person because of the colonial past, I would understand if some Canadian have bad words for me if I wear the hijab or the islamic beard. By the way, I spent few months in Morroco, and my Marrocan friends were scared of fundamentalists there. So, no surprise if Canadians are also scared.

Thank you Amira Elghawaby for sharing this.

Do not listen to these peoples propaganda. It is a misdirection for a bad investment. If it is multicultural then your business is not special but it isnt because thats multilangualism, which is impossible for the ones that only speak english
Thank you for sharing your story. I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. Just like you, I rarely faced Islamophobia. People were accepting and I had amazing teachers. It is because of the support and passion of my teachers, that In sha Allah, I will be graduating as a teacher in April. However, as an undergraduate student, I came to realize just how much Islamophobia was prevalent in Canada/Quebec. Today, I cannot even teach in Quebec because I wear hijab. It is exactly when the gov't turns your back on you, that inclusion becomes more difficult. It is time we raise our voice and do something about it. Just like you did. :)
That is so sad to hear such a thing is happening in Canada. Stay strong sister and make the umah and humanity proud. You belong here and undoubtedly are a part of this great country. Stay strong, Loud, visible, and who you are!
I'm glad that Quebec did that. Canada isn't a Muslim country and it never will be. If you don't like it then you should go back to your home country, and be a teacher there.
I live in Quebec and it’s so sad that they exclude English speakers and religious symbols. They are incredible hypocrites. I am a non-religious person, but I completely support cultural, religious differences. When the province chooses to disallow religious symbols they are not evening the field. They are discriminating. They are ripping away peoples identities. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging our differences, and respecting each other.
