Raymond Chan - On diversity, integration, and improving Canadian multiculturalism.
- A short editorial broadcast on Vancouver's top-rated CKNW network at 12:05pm, October 22 2007.
Raymond Chan is the Member of Parliament for Richmond and former Minister of State for Multiculturalism.
I wish this guy could talk to some Australians - Australian multiculturalism is about forming cultural ghettoes in the suburbs (esp. in Sydney) and not mixing with other cultural groups. There are no core values in Australian society either (WTF is 'mateship'?). This breeds discontent and racism in the white majority, thus you see things like the Cronulla Riots. Canada has the right approach to multiculturalism (integration) - I only wish they could export to this side of the Pacific.

Raymond Chan sounds very fair, nonthreatning and very logical. Well said. Many of us fear diversity because we are afraid we will loose our own identity in the process of accomodating others. If we took Raymond's approach nobody looses.

Nonsense. Canada must hold to PIONEER values, one people, one attitude, and the correct pronunciation of the letter "r"...all other cultures are failures, also-rans, beggars who MAY be let in only if they display actual skills of value to the Canadian people.
