100%. Way to go Sharon. Mine did not make the brave trip from Ireland and Scotland until the following century but I am sure glad they did. I am also proud of the immigrants from all the other countries as well as The First Nations for making this country what it is today.

I have had no replys to and PM's I sent him in the last while. He has not been back on line since his country lost the hockey game.
Joe is in his 90s and has spent his life caring for an ill daughter. Normally, I treat him with kindness and understanding. However, I just couldn't let that post go ; not particularly for Joe to think about , but for all that think that way to ponder.
I've worked with the underprivileged all my life ( Special Ed. classes , adopted street kids, and the jail) ; this has always been my motto:
" We are more than our gender, skin color, class, sexuality or age; we are unlimited potential, and can not be defined by one label." quote A. Bartlett
(You won't hear President Trump using that quote.

Well - well - sounds like some people didn't like what I posted - first thing is I am not against immigrants as long as they come to my country and assimilate into the fabric of my country and love it - my father and mother came from Germany in the late 20's - so let's close that issue - now let's talk about what I was intending to say - a country will reflect what the majority of it's citizens think - even in a democracy the majority of the people will dictate how the country will choose it's holidays - it's laws - it's traditions - it's leaders - it's customs - every country will eventually experience this - if the day comes when the majority of Canadian citizens are of the Muslim faith that religion will have control of what happens in Canada - if the majority are of another religion the same thing will happen - this is just common sense- look at the countries of the world - in the Middle East this is self evident- Muslims control most of the countries and these countries reflect that in their customs and laws and their behavior- if the majority of the people were atheists that would also apply - so if I have a choice of what kind of country I would like to live in it would be a country that reflects my religion and customs - that is my honest opinion
Look at the U.K. and the rest of Europe and the trouble that they are having because they let all these immigrants with different cultures into their countries - open your eyes before it is too late -
Yes I'm 91 and have been around awhile and seen a lot of history happen - so don't dismiss what I have to say so lightly - I don't care if a person is black - green - brown or whatever - just as long as they don't come to my country and want to change it into something I have no connection with - meanwhile all is almost quiet at the southern front -

We are all immigrants Joe unless you are a First Nations Person and even then....
My relatives came from Germany in 1776 to support the British .They were Jewish not Christian.
They helped to make Canada what it is today.
Eliminate all the " non white Christians" in America and see where you stand America ..... destitute.
Sharon - with all due respect- you may not like the statement "yes most want America to be a white christian country" - but it is true - and notice that I used the term "most Americans" - didn't say I
"I" - best wishes - Joe
