[…] Canadians think that multiculturalism is one of the best things about their country. “America sucks because the white man oppresses the minorities” …so they say. My feelings? I am both shocked, confused, and angry when I hear this. Not because I’m in denial, but because I live IN multiculturalism IN AMERICA! […]

Don’t forget all the American immigrants! I do appreciate the multiculturalism of Canada.

@DianeCA — I love that too. I work close to Chinatown and in the summer I always go for a walk there, buying cheap stuffs

@Art — The USA must be quite diverse as well, right?

@Spyder — Yep, me too. It’s more fun!

@sir jorge — We don’t see the Mexican influence here much for now. Even Mexican food (real Mexican food!) is hard to find actually. But maybe in the future! I’d love to see more Latinos around, love the culture! Thanks for the info on Costco

@shionge — Yes, probably. And Canada is quite peaceful so it has a good reputation!

@Froggywoogie — I don’t see the downsides personally. I love diversity and wish I had seen more where I grew up…

Getting closer to Flogland by the minute, if the %$## plane finally leaves today! (Currently stuck in Montreal…)

@Shan — Given European history, I have an hard time with Nationalism. That said, I totally understand that it is necessary for some nation to be strong. Like China… at one point, they had too.

@Johnada — Need more Mexicans in Ottawa as well… Mexicali Rosas sucks! Love the food diversity too. Where else can you have Dim Sum, then Pizza, then curry??

@aline — Good luck for him for applying! PR is quite easy to get actually„, which is another reason why people come to Canada!

@Linguist-in-Waiting — Same here — I rarely go to the USA and the border is only a hour drive from Ottawa!

Immigration isn't always about bringing poverty and disruption to the local safety and economy. It could be the otherwise, by injecting new vigor and spirit to the stale economy and cultural background of the country. But, it's always better to admit skilled workers and professionals then those who'd contribute nothing but crime and social problems to the society, just like what Singapore is doing. kyh's last blog post..Gone rural

Hi Zhu. I'm a recent arrival in Toronto, and yes, diversity hits you right on the face. I love the way so many cultures blend into one yet maintain their identities. Lovely blog. Priyank's last blog post..Hibernation

Good point you raised there. I am also thinking of Canada as an option once I graduate and get my degree done with. Compared to the USA, Canada has a more open attitude with regard to foreigners, and I am afraid that the xenophobic attitude that the US government has may persuade me not to settle down here. I love to cross the border some day, something which, surprisingly enough, I haven't done yet, even though the border is less than an hour away. Linguist-in-Waiting's last blog post..Mirage
