I recall meeting a traveller in Toronto. He said that he had never been to a place where the people were so unfriendly that they didn't even smile.

Well... yeah, being cold is our number one export here in Toronto. Number two is self-seriousness. Number three...insufferable hipsters (probably)... or maybe 'barely competent sports teams'

Have you noticed the fundie attitude toward homosexuals?
and you are critisizing IRAN?
The jews in Iran wouldn't leave for Isarel for MONEY.
I guess that means the place must be a real hole...
or maybe they are the real jews
and so everything said against Iran Is actaually
antisemitism
be careful you Iran haters.
Canada has some nice new hate laws
and they hate anti Semites so don't criticize Iran to loudly.
Christians criticizing Iran over its attitude on homosexuality
thats FUNNY.
say when is obama gonna tak Mr A's offer for a debate....
notice how Obama hasn't picked on him much since....
Smells like chicken

Homosexuals Don't have rights in Iran or in any other Middle Eastern nation, this is fact, not theory, friend. You really need to research this better.

Well, I can't speak for all Canadians, because I have seen first hand the racism in this country.
Like today. I was in the elevator with woman going up, a middle eastern couple get on the elevator, and while they were on the elevator, they were speaking their native tongue. Nothing at all wrong with that.
Well, when they got off, the woman I was on the elevator with said very loudly "That F***ing pisses me off, speaking in another language in front of English speaking people in a English speaking country!" Along with some racial slur.
I am 18. Very opened minded. Very polite. But when it comes to hate such as what I experienced, I can't just stand down.
So, I looked at the woman with widened eyes, saying in a deep intimidating voice, "Are you seriously that ignorant?"
She looked down, I felt bad as always when I make someone feel bad, but I clearly got my point across. Racism is not accepted in todays generation.
This woman was thirty. She complained to the super (my dad) and i gladly wrote her a note stating that if she continues do show hate towards other tenants or their guests, she will be requested to leave by head office, as she signed an agreement stating that conflicts between pets, or the appearance of a person is not tolerated. ( We get a lot of bisexual, thugs, and old people in here. Not a good mix in terms of living with one another)
All in all, racism is very alive in Canada. Not with the younger generation, were all pretty chill, but the older ones. Something about how "foreigners took all our land!'
Sadly, they just say the great opportunity and took it while the rest who came in WW2 and 1 just sat around at factory jobs as the country grew.
Now that I think of it, Canada is a pretty nasty country.

I'm sorry, but I don't go in for the divisive "love it or leave it" rhetoric. There are more options than "accept it the way it is" or "get out." I choose to stay and improve it.
What I see is a nation of millions living in bad faith. I see that there are thousands of Canadians who pay lip service to the 'multiculturalism' policy. They are barely tolerant of other cultures. I recall meeting a traveller in Toronto. He said that he had never been to a place where the people were so unfriendly that they didn't even smile.
I see that it needs a renaissance and it is my patriotic duty to contribute.

You're absolutely right. They're all living in the stone age...and I hate when people go "oh it's their culture."
Really? Abusing women, executing homosexuals, executing anyone who converts to Christian when originally a Muslim, rioting and slaughtering anyone who illustrates Mohammad...yeah, their culture sure is fun.
