Yeah, Canada is diverse. Bwahahahahah! Are you serious? Maybe, and only maybe, if you break white people up into lots of different sub-groups... and even then Canada is not diverse.
Google search reveals 2.5% of the Canada pop is black. 11% identifies as mix of black and white.
What a load.
Canada is a lot less diverse than the US. 80% white
The US has detroit, which is only 10% white. Can't top that for diversity.
English Canada and French Canada butt heads all the time. You would think Canadians would understand culture clash but I digress.
Really think about this. White English canadians and French Canadians could barely stand each other and referendums have been voted on before. Now you guys actually believe diversity. I mean Come on
It sounds like the Forgotten Americans have some Forgotten Canadian cousins.
are you drunk?
never claimed I lived in canada. Why do you keep bringing this up?
I believe you are trolling, The Quebec referendum happened 20 years ago, not 40. Hence you have to be trolling, I remember it as a kid in the USA.
How can I trust a canadian who cannot remember that issue?
You are going to throw out ancedote vs statistical data. Ok.
You didnt even present an argument.

Where I had to go in Canada for work I saw some racism that looked like it came right out of the civil rights era in the States... so how about you take care of your home and we will try to take care of ours.

, Canada boasts the highest percentage of foreign-born citizens than any other G8 country
You think maybe it's more of a reflection on the current state of affairs down there? No, things aren't perfect here, but I think we may be judged on that which we try to accomplish. Right now there are a lot of agencies scrambling to pick up the pieces from the refugee and immigration schmozzle of late. Science is being archived, sick kids are being shuttled into our hospitals, students are being 'adopted' by our schools. You may see it is bragging, but it is also showing our folks that good deeds matter.

the OP was a direct shot at your southern neighbors, not taking pride in something... it is possible I misunderstood, but that is how it read to me.
There is a significant group here on these boards that take every single opportunity to inform us ignorant Americans how horrible we are and how America is responsible for every Ill in the worlds history.
I feel just as annoyed with the chest thumping Merica F ya crowd to...
You want a rah rah Canada thread go ahead leave out the political shots at America, Canada has a lot to be proud of... the Canadian military members I have worked with were wonderful folks... Canada has a rich history with plenty to brag about.
But to say how awesome your diversity is when parts of your country still treat first nation folks like second class citizens and the racism is flowing heavy in both directions seems a tad out of whack with reality.

Diversity simply means less whites and less of what it means to be white. the word diversity is not used in black, Muslim or Asian countries or communities is it?.
Tolerance means the same thing, funny how we never hear the black, Muslim or Asian countries or communities talking about the need to be tolerant of whites and of those things it means to be white or western.
You sound as if less whiteness makes you sad.

No it doesn't. just think people should be aware of the intent behind these phrases when used as most people don't seem to relaise they are being played by opinion molders and shapers when they use these terms. I see a sinister agenda by such people.
perhaps the question to consider is wether I am correct in my claims or not.

Not to be controversial here but...
How do you know those Immigrants are hanging Canadian flags off their mail boxes and windows because they're proud?
They could be doing that to divert attention away from their jihadi ways and blend in.
We just don't know and I don't trust anyone, especially if i have little to no reason to trust them.
You clearly are admitting that Canadians have higher IQ,
