One More Brick Falls....

On progressive heads. They are stunned but not out, yet! All around the world, leaders are coming out and declaring that multiculturalism does not work.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Thursday that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.

"My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure," he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.

"Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want... a society where communities coexist side by side.

He is not the first one to declare multiculturalism dead:

British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia's ex-prime minister John Howard and Spanish ex-premier Jose Maria Aznar have also recently said multicultural policies have not successfully integrated immigrants.

Merkel in October said efforts towards multiculturalism in Germany had "failed, totally."

Will Canada listen and save itself? I think we can if we continue to elect the Conservatives, they are our only defense against the feel good lefties open up the borders (world) strategy. This is a serious issue for Canada. Do we want immigrants coming here and expecting to live like they did in their old country, or do we want immigrants to blend into our society while maintaining their traditions?

I think our younger generation will be our saviours. They have been going to school with all races and it has made them inclusive. What has been happening is that the immigrant children are being absorbed into our society, and want to be Canadians. On any given weekend we have kids visiting us from Korean, Chinese, Philippian, Ukrainian and Polish backgrounds. They all think of themselves as Canadian, no matter what country they or their parents came from. We have found that pizza is the universal language of kids.

How can multiculturalism work when the French and English of Canada are still not united? How can we demand that immigrants conform and integrate, when we have Quebec voting for separatists? Unfortunately, a group of grade nine students from Alberta, who paid good money to visit Quebec, found them arrogant and unfriendly. This will shape their feelings for years to come.

Immigrants need to integrate into the Canadian landscape, not come here and demand we change our laws to accommodate them. You want a better life here in Canada? Leave your old fights behind and come in peace.

Avatar VS Oil Sands

Great, so we might get James Cameron coming to visit Alberta's oil sands. I hope the native leaders show him the buffalo, that haven't roamed there for centuries because the land was so polluted they avoided it!

James Cameron could visit oil sands: First Nations leader

Mr. Poitras said on Sunday firm plans for Cameron's visit are a long way off, but, "the sooner the better."

"I want him to see for himself and ... wherever he arrives at in terms of what the tar sands truly represent," Mr. Poitras said, adding newspapers and television don't do justice to "the size and the calibre and the footprint of the environmental impact."

Others, like Council of Canadians chairwoman Maude Barlow, have visited the oil sands and compared the development to "Mordor," a fictional land from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books.

Yes, both Poitras and Barlow are right, this natural oil spill is truly like nothing anyone has ever seen, and it should be cleaned up!

Other environmentalists agree that Avatar could have been shot at the oil sands.

As the CBC reported on March 5, a coalition of environmental groups took the allegory one step further, placing an ad in the film industry publication Variety that cast Canada’s Alberta tar sands as the real world’s unobtanium. the ad, paid for by 50 environmental groups, featured an aerial photograph of a massive oil sands site, where excavation had removed all signs of life, leaving only a huge field of brown sand dotted with man-made hills and pits. Title text labels the photo “Canada’s Avatar Sands.” for the groups who took out the ad, the bitumen (a chemical precursor to crude oil) trapped in the tar sands of northern Alberta is real-life unobtanium, and the environmental destruction it has brought to the plains and forests of Canada parallels the tragic and heartless plundering of Pandora.

Would environmentalists let the oil spilling into the ocean from the oil rig that sunk continue, without cleaning it up? NO! So should we allow oil to continue to seep into our rivers and potentially hurt the people downstream? Any dedicated environmentalist will tell you NO! Any oil spill must be cleaned up. Now, just because it was Mother Nature that produced the spill, is no reason to not clean it up.

Proudly, Albertans are embarking on cleaning up the biggest natural oil spill that has ever been seen on earth! We are taking sand saturated in oil and extracting that messy oil from the sand so that it will not continue to seep into our rivers, as it has been doing for thousands of years.



Look closely at that picture, nothing can grow in that oil seeped sand, but the environmentalists will not tell you that, it would distort their message. Try an experiment, take some sand, and some oil, put them in a container and then plant some seeds, any seeds, (try grass or dill) and see if anything grows. Right, I thought not.

What bothers me is that the First Nations people are playing both sides of the fence to feather their nests, and they still want us to think they are the victims. The oil companies pay them royally, then the First Nations turn around and sue them to get more money, and the environmental groups support them with more money. It's quite a racket, but it is legal. So why are our First Nations people still living in poverty? Who is taking all the royalty money? It's a mystery.

Try going to some of the companies sites to see what they are doing to be environmentally friendly and support aboriginals. Do not only listen to those shrill eco-nuts, they have done more harm with their campaigns against DDT, killing millions of Africans from malaria, to corn for eco-fuel, starving millions of people in third world countries. These are the people we should listen to? WHY?

So, Cameron, come on down, and tell us how we should clean up the biggest oil spill this world has ever seen.

Straight Talk!

Dr Roy pointed me to this speech by David Cameron, it's worth reading.

What I want to know is, will Britain listen? Or are they lost? Because I know most of you will not click and read the whole article, here are some of the best parts:

"With over five million people in our country on out of work benefits, many of them on Incapacity Benefit, welfare dependency is now a crisis for the whole country, not just this corner of it.....

"A sixteen year-old boy stabbed in north London; a sixty year-old man sitting around in Easterhouse who's never had a job. A twenty-eight year-old woman stabbed in south London; a forty-eight year old woman dying from heart disease in Gallowgate.

"The thread that links it all together passes, yes, through family breakdown, welfare dependency, debt, drugs, poverty, poor policing, inadequate housing, and failing schools but it is a thread that goes deeper, as we see a society that is in danger of losing its sense of personal responsibility, social responsibility, common decency and, yes, even public morality....

"Imagine if there was a Government that understood, really understood, that encouraging personal and social responsibility must be the cornerstone of everything that it did and that every move it took re-inforced that view....

"Above all, I believe that this cultural change needs to start at home. The values we need to repair our broken society and to build a strong society are values that should be taught in the home, in the family.

"That is why I have put the family right at the heart of my programme. Action on knife crime. Better policing and criminal justice reform. Reforming schools. Reforming welfare. These are all vital components of the social reform we need so urgently.

"But in the end, the state cannot do it all. In the end, the best regulation is self-regulation, not state regulation. That's why the family comes first. That's where we can really turn things around and start to repair our broken society.

Clearly Cameron deserves to be elected. He is very direct about the problems facing Britain, it's time for change, not the limp wristed type of change Obama is talking about, real change, where families matter again. Maybe someone should send this speech to McCain and PM Harper, because common sense makes sense.
