Wilfrid Laurier on Immigration and being Canadian, 1907


'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an Canadian, and nothing but an Canadian...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an Canadian, but something else also, isn't an Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Canadian people.'

Sir Wilfrid Laurier 1907

JEWS AND MUSLIM NOBEL PRICE-WINNERS

Re.the e-mail circulated information below: I would somewhat discount the Nobel Peace Price, considering that terrorists like Yasser Arafat got one; and Anwar Sadat wasn't really a "peace-monger" either. The Peace Nobel is the responsibility of the Norwegian Nobel Peace Price Committee, and I think they have become highly politicized and self-righteous (typically Norwegian, eh?).

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JEWS AND MUSLIMS.. I thought you would be interested in reading this... (What a HUGE contrast!)

(guess who GOD has blessed the most so far.)

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims!

The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew that has destroyed a church.. There is NOT a single Jew that protests by killing people.

The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them!!

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:

'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .'

-Benjamin Netanyahu
ps: The Muslims, using their always impeccable logic, would claim these statistics prove how discriminated against they really are!

Oh and there was another prominent Jew in History, who gave His life for the people of the world...JESUS !!
Oh, yes; and tell that to the Jew-persecuting Catholic Church in medieval times; the Christian supporters of Nazism; Jew-hating Martin Luther and his ilk; the propagators of "The Elders of Zion", kidnappers and forcible conversion of young Jewish children; the Spanish inquisitors, the murderers of Marranos or 'secret Jews'( Sephardic Jews, or Jewish people living in the Iberian peninsula, forced to convert to Catholicism-Christianity or be killed); et cetera, et cetera.
I could go on, but I'd better stop or I'll get really mad.

Sigmund's Site - DEATH, TAXES AND WASTE

Sigmund's Site - DEATH, TAXES AND WASTE

DEATH, TAXES AND WASTE

Much has been said and written lately about the HST and taxes in general; and the spending scandals that have plagued the Ontario Liberals. I am about to put in my own "two cents":

I agree that waste and improper spending of public funds by such disparate entities as the Lottery Corp., e-Healt and Ontario Hydro is a large problem that needs fixing. The hogs at the public through should all be shot and made into bacon. Dishonesty and entitlements are endemic in politics; be it provincial or federal, and even in the US. We cannot eradicate it, but we can restrict it if we just holler enough and VOTE. Perhaps we can shame them; and if not, scare them.

Now, as to taxes, they are like death: inevitable and bad. However, as a senior, while awaiting the inevitable; I must say I do enjoy some of the benefits of the taxes; most of which now others pay on my behalf. Just a few examples of what I enjoy, in no particular order:
1. I enjoy healthcare and the free drugs and eye exams I now need and get; free flu vaccinations, and the nice looking nurses who look after me when I am in the hospital.
2. I enjoy clean, drinkable water, and water for other needs, including the occasional bath.
3. I enjoy paved roads, garbage pickup, police and fire services.
4. I enjoy public transportation ( occasionally).
5. I enjoy our parks, green spaces, clean air; birds in the sky, the sun up above..
.... I could go on ad infinitum; but I think you get my drift. We could be living in an African hellhole or in any of untold number of terrible societies; where taxes are as low as life !
I am blessed to live in this wonderful country of ours and I'll be damn if I am going to live out my life as an curmudgeon looking at a glass half empty, complaining about my taxes.
