Not weird when we have a gov't and immigration policy that is focused on diversity and multiculturalism, encouraging people to become hyphenated Canadians with the hyphen coming first and the Canadian second if at all. They encourage them to indulge in their customs and traditions which can be quite depraved in some cases and culturally anathema to Canadas best interests. Then stir them all into the same pot and pretend that they will get along when we know they won't and call it diversity. Many are not coming to Canada to be Canadians, they are coming to Canada to be free to be what they were supposedly escaping from.
Some cultures don't mix well with others, never have, never will. Mixing them together is a recipe for the breakdown of society.
Canada needs a standard of social conformity that is in the best interest of the people. The last thing we should be doing is encouraging elements that diverge from being Canadian first and foremost. Canada is becoming a cesspool of special interest groups who are using our country to further their own agendas and cultures over the interests of the hosts that opened the door to them.
I'm sure someone is going to say that immigration of many different cultures is what built Canada. Very true, but culturally divergent immigrants of like mind and goals are far fewer. We are bringing in a different type of immigrant today. Way too many are far from being like minded and not interested in abandoning their previous lifestyle. IMO a growing percentage view Canada and Canadians as a flock of sheep ripe for the fleecing. Have no intention of giving back, let alone have any inkling that maybe they could/should give back.
