I just got some really fucked up propaganda in my email mailbox
my heart just broke a little....
DISCLAIMER the following is ignorant, we really need to start educating people.
My retort is at the beginning... the things stated underneath are what warranted one.

um...
Why can't people sing our national anthem in other languages???
Canada is a FREE country and it's culture is what makes it rich. We can learn about different places and things through the people who share this amazing land regardless of colour, creed, religion, sexuality.
I think it should be embraced that they would feel at home here and want to celebrate it in their native tongue. Canada is a place of opportunity, a new begining, shelter when homes have been distroyed. We all should learn to love our neighbour more, should you need to knock on their door for sancuary.
I don't understand where the concern should lie?
With them wanting to sing proudly as Canadians,
or the hate that breeds this sort of propaganda.
Please don't fall victim to it.
Can we love enough? or can we love some more???

IT IS THE FOLLOWING WHICH YOU SHOULD REALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read and tell me what you think!!!
You SHOULD be concerned.
Our National Anthem - at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics
Please read and forward to as many Canadians you can think of - thank you
WE ARE PROUD CANADIANS
Bruce Allen is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee and new Canadians (specifically Hindi's/Indian's) want him fired for his recent comments outlined below:
I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Hindi - enough is enough.
Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish,
Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language because of immigration.
It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.
The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation - which was not even close to our National Anthem. I am not the least bit sorry if this offends ANYONE, this is MY COUNTRY; My Grand Dad served in the military, other family members also served, as well as my wife & I served a combined total of 56 years between us. We made many sacrifices for our country and do not feel we should feel obligated to allow invited people we've welcomed with open arms to influence & change our society to better resemble the one they chose to leave to come here!!! - IF YOU AGREE ABOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY, SPEAK UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
-- please pass this along .
I am not against immigration. In fact I believe we need more, my ancestors were immigrants -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the Rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!'
It's time we all get behind Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness crap. His comments were anything but racist, however, there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are attempting to change everything we hold dear.
ARE you PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and Still be CANADA if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in CANADA because it is the Country of Choice??????
Think about it!
IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT.
It's Time for CANADIANS to speak up.. If you agree ? Pass this along; if you don't agree?
Delete it and reap what you sow because of your complacency!
Cheers, Bully

...i dont know about that one

Your parents live much differently than we do. Their cultures and customs do not (in any way) look like ours. Does that mean that we need to "melt"? Or that they do? That idea is absurd. Peoples lifestyles vary dramatically. The consensus comes in following the laws and interacting within the social structure.
The problem with having to sing the national anthem in other languages, or not mentioning Jesus, or calling Christmas "the holidays" is that people are acting from a place of fear. Fear of offending. Nothing productive can come from fear (unless of course you live in the wilderness - then it's survival instinct).
Word.
