And once on the ground here, whether Canadian-born or otherwise, we have to assure that our rule-of-law prevails.

Morning Geoff
Thanks ....
I agree with everything you said here.
Judging by the problems and frustrations, and conflicts and demands, from all groups, I assume the rules are very ambiguous and not clearly specific/defined and stated around issues of being Canadian, and what is meant by non-discrimination and freedom to believe etc etc etc ...
I personally suspect that a lot of outcry/outrage, fights against "perceived discrimination" are simply people misunderstanding because of the ambiguousness of rules/wordings of rights and freedoms etc ... they may honestly feel discriminated against because the rules weren't clearly described and lines drawn for them ... which misunderstandings can probably be traced back to the ambiguity of the rules to begin with ... and look what a kaffuffle and waffling goes on when there is an outcry and an attempt to "please everybody" ...
Rules and roles are not clearly defined to begin with I think? So how the hell can they be clearly stated and clearly understood? Where are the lines??? Nobody really knows, or people think they know, but they don't, really.
I'm not just talking about rules for immigrants ... I'm talking about rules in general for ALL CANADIANS whether we moved here or were born here.
ooops... i went blah b;lah blah again
