I wish I had said this - multiculturalism in Canada

[Barry Churcher]

Today I got another one of the gazillion phone calls from people looking for money. This time it was the University of Toronto and the small advertisement was only $ 250.00. I explained that I had just used my meager budget for the Warriors Day parade in Coe Hill. There was a pregnant pause and she replied "Coe Hill". I said "yes, have you heard of it?" Well it seems her cottage is in Coe Hill. What a coincidence. After a pleasant conversation I agreed to put an ad in their publication if the U of T would donate $500.00 to the parade. The U of T has a proud history of alumni who served in both wars. She says she will get back to me but I am not holding out much hope. It felt good though to be able to turn things around for these people asking for money. She agreed that my cause for the veterans was more worthy than hers but in the end she will probable raise lots more $$$.

In Australia I have seen a bumper sticker on the back of motorists vehicles that has a picture of the Australian Flag and underneath it reads.

If you don't love it leave.

The other one that illustrates a valid point is "I am fed up with being told to be tolerant of your intolerances" In the case of 'New Australians' (for goodness sake don't use the word 'immigrant') having prejudices against others of different race or creed in their home country...and then continuing to maintain the rage in Australia.

Mind you, the Cronulla riots weren't the answer either.
