i've been to a lot of these cities and i can testify that they're as ethnically diverse as Toronto .. perhaps not per capita, but enough such that it's pretty seemless going from city to city. when i was in Europe i noticed that a lotta the major cities are becoming as equally diverse if not moreso.. times are changing and so is this world

Canada is both a European wannabe AND an American wannabe at the same time.

Ya I can see that

Montreal has a european feel(for N.America at least) and Calgary the most American city outside of the U.S.

In 1535, two Aboriginal youths used the Huron-Iroquois word "Kanata" which means "village" or "settlement" to tell Jacques Cartier the way to Stadacona (site of present-day Quebec city). Cartier used "Canada" to refer not only to Stadacona, but also to the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief of Stadaconna.

Canadian are not wanna be Europeans, part of them is European, just like Americans


that's the first decent statement, that I've ever heard mazen make.

Hmm, I don't think Europeans had native american visas and residence permits when they decided to colonize the new world...

Well, while I do agree that a large scale immigration that is happening these days is a partially destroying the current cultural identity of Europe, it's difficult to say at this current time whether that is a good or a bad thing. Whatever the future will bring, large scale immigration in Europe is necessarry because of the generally low birth rates, especially in Italy. Without a large work force influx from the surrounding countries, Italian economy would quickly break down because of a disproportional ratio of old vs young people. So untill the governments in Europe find a way to encourage people into multiplying faster, I don't think there's any other solution to keep the society functioning other than allowing large masses of immigrants to get in. At least until we're able to design robots capable of performing most human actions.

Simple solution: Europeans should have more children, at least three per family.

Immigration itself it not the problem: there's nothing wrong with a few thousand per year. What's going on now is not immigration, but invasion... there are millions of them.... and that's not right. The invasion should be stopped today and foreigners encouraged to go home (with money).

I won't disagree with that statement, but it's a good point to ask whether that's a good thing. In the suburbs of Paris, "diversity" means Muslim honor killings and gang raping of the "infidels." In Malm�, you have areas of the city with quasi-Islamic law. Diversity is interesting to some degree, but there's a point at which you will come to a clash of incompatible cultures.

Bingo. You move to Canada, follow Canadian laws. Don't bring your third-world antiquated religious baggage with you.

Unfortunately the Lieberal government panders to them in order to get their votes.

But don't take my word for it: check out their plan.

Well, yeah, identifying the problem is the simple part that anyone can come up with. How to solve that problem, that's the real question. Perhaps providing massive childbearing subsidies and starting large scale programs which would encourage people to have more children is a solution, but such solutions cost a lot of money. Masses, on the other hand, are pretty short-sighted, and if they need to choose between such options on one hand, and minor tax cuts and immigration on the other, most of them will selfishly choose tax cuts, with immigration as the necessary evil. However, reactions often come late, and when that happens, they're usually overreactions. So it may be possible that when immigrant population will rise enough to become a significant percentage of population, that the people will then become more aware of their national status and start voting for far right parties, breeding more children, banning imigrants, and perhaps even chasing away already naturalized citizens of foreign descent. Hopefully it will not come to that, but that's kinda how those things usually go (take Serbia and Kosovo, or Macedonia as examples).

I wouldn't call that invasion, because for you to be invaded, you should at least try to oppose the invaders. So far the immigrants are not forcefully entering the EU, and therefore there can be no talk about an invasion.
