There didn't used to be any white people in North America either - what's your point? In any event, Conservative governments have been as open to immigrantion as Liberal ones, and rightly so.
That's your opinion, and I wouldn't assume the majority of Canadians share it. Naturally, Asians and Europeans came and went over the last several thousand years. That wasn't my point. The point being, we wouldn't need to be "making the world safer from terror" if we didn't let people from around the world live in Canada, or America, or Britain where you know who blew up a subway train. As for people who say we owe it to the world to help other countries--nonsense.
Indiscriminant immigration was the driving cause behind the US' emergence as a world power at the beginning of the 20th century.
Indiscriminant EUROPEAN immigration was the driving cause, as well as the motivation, hard work and inventiveness that only Europeans possess to that degree, using the advantages of the industrial revolution to revolutionize technology and society, as well as expanding on the British idea of multinational invesment in corporations to truly multinational branch plant subsidiaries of American corporations. The U.S.A. also had the "Protestant work ethic" (distinctly European) of the puritans of which the U.S.A. still embodies today in part.
You seem to have trouble telling the difference between "Muslim" and "Muslim fundamentalist". One is a culture, the other is a choice. Of course children of fundamentalists are more likely to become fundamentalists, but someone, somewhere decided to turn to violence and that decision is renewed with each generation. You don't break that cycle by ghettoizing entire nations.
Yes, however, I referred to fundamentalists because these are the people Canadian and American leaders say they are making us safer from. It is nonsense of course, because there are hundreds of millions to take the place of current terrorists.
Also, it is commanded in the Koran that "Islam will expand and dominate the globe". This is not the kind of culture that assimilates much at all or adopts a new way of life, and is not a culture that is peaceful. Muslim fundamentalism is a religion of the sword, as any honest Muslim will admit, and it is not discriminatory to say so. If they are making us safer from religious terror, why are they (the Liberals) letting 50 different terrorist groups (Tamil Tigers, Al Qaeda) operate in Canada without deporting them? Why are they letting gangs like Chinese Triads and Jamaican Bidis operate in Canada? They are not only traitors, they are endanering our lives--especially in cities like Toronto and Vancouver.
Europe's brith rate is Europe's problem. Unless you just think the world needs more Europeans. You're drifting dangerously close to "bigoted white-supremecist" territory - not the sort of view that the forum of record for the CF really needs to have represented.
If I remember correctly there were white supremacists in the Airborne, though I personally coulsnt' care less. We have supremacists in the form of every ethnic lobby under the sun in Toronto, all advocating for their own selfish interests in their newly-adopted home.
Europe's birth rate problem is also shared by Canada, Russia, New Zealand, Australia and to a lesser extent, the United States. Seeing as replacement level is 2.1--2.3, and most countries average now around 1.3 children per couple, YES I think the world needs more Europeans.
I woudln't cower in your boots if you feel pride in your own European heritage--which is largely what Canada's history is, as a country founded largely by the British Empire. Perhaps it would be better if Europeans, as a 10% minority of the world's population, stopped risking their lives in hopelessly backwards third world countries and sending money to increase third world birth rates more than they already have.
