This is what a lot of Canadians, and probably some Americans, think of today's type of immigrant

Specifically refugees from the Middle Eastern part of the world.

Long read, some of you won't make it, but for those who have a higher attention span than a 2 yr old it's a good read...


A Letter to Justin Trudeau

So many letter writers have explained how this land is made up of immigrants. Maybe we should turn to
our history books and point out to people why today?s Canadian is not willing to accept this new kind of
immigrant any longer.

Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to Canada, people had to get off a
ship and stand in a long line in Halifax or Vancouver and be documented. Some would even get down on
their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their
new country in both good and bad times.

They made learning English a primary rule in their new Canadian households and some even changed their
names to blend in with their new home. They had waved good bye to their birthplace to give their children
a new and better life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labour laws to protect them. Perhaps some
were fortunate enough - like my great grandfather - to be given 160 acres of prairie grassland. All they had
were the skills, craftsmanship and desire they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.
It wasn't easy.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. Canadians - like my uncle Jim - fought
along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, China,
Czechoslovakia, Russia, Sweden, Poland and so many other places. None of these first generation
Canadians ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Canadians
fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the Freedom as one people.

When we liberated France & the Netherlands no one in those villages was looking for the Ukrainian-Canadian
or the German-Canadian or the Irish-Canadian.
The people of Paris and Amsterdam saw only Canadians. And they carried one flag that represented Our Country.
Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country?s flag and waving it to
represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here.
These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be a Canadian. They stirred the melting pot into one red and white bowl.

And here we are in 2016 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges, only they want
to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules - one that includes a Canadian passport and a guarantee of
being faithful to their mother country.

I'm sorry, that's not what being a Canadian is all about. Canadians have been very open-hearted and
open-minded regarding immigrants, whether they were fleeing poverty, dictatorship, persecution, or
what ever else makes us think of those aforementioned immigrants who truly did ADOPT our country,
our flag, our morals and our customs, and left their wars, hatred, and divisions behind. I believe that the
immigrants who landed in Canada in the early 1900s deserve better than that for the toil, hard work and
sacrifice of those legally searching for a better life.

I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags,
fighting foreign battles on our soil, making Canadians change to suit their religions and cultures, and wanting
to change our countries fabric by claiming discrimination when we do not give in to their demands.
Its about time we get real and stand up for our forefathers rights.We are CANADIAN.
I am a Native of this Country and proud of it!

NO MORE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


And while we're on the subject - allow CHRISTMAS back in stores and our schools!
I want back the country of my birth.
P.S. -- Please pass this on to everyone you know!!!

KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING!!
Hope this letter is read by millions of people all across Canada!
We are letting people live here that hate our way of life! WHY? I'm asking YOU why?



No clue who the author is, but since a lot of Canadians are in fact "passing it along" (I've received it twice already this week from different sources) I'm inclined to believe he/she speaks for many rather than few. Some of the points are pretty difficult to argue with, but I'm sure a few here will no doubt try.

"And here we are in 2016 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges, only they want
to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules - one that includes a Canadian passport and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country."

How true

The American dream is officially dead. Instead, now people want to go to Canada.

The United States is a nation of immigrants. Period. My grandmother came from Poland in 1946 after the Nazis killed her entire family. She married, worked hard all of her life, raised a family. She was never arrested once. My step father came from Belgium, worked hard all of his life; He had his own business, an electric motor repair shop, and every night he came home exhausted and covered in grease.

Everyone around me is an immigrant. The family across the street is from the Philippines, another neighbor is from Egypt and is a local Sheriff here, Kent's wife is both beautiful and exotic and very Mexican, and my mother neighbor came from Columbia, has two kids who are joining the US Army. This is what America is. This is the American dream.

Trudeau is a disgusting traitor. My empathy to Canadians (not the traitorous libtard types, but quality rationally thinking their country loving people).

Whaddya' expect...

Even though the title contains "refugees", there is no mention of refugees in the body of the text.

Anyway:

To me, this is what it means to be Canadian:
