It is my 50 year in Canada. Life is not what it used to be. This city is totally different - the lily white lifestyle of free living is long gone. No, the immigrants did not fit in - they morphed it in their own image. If do not see it ask your parents.

When I came here $ was convertible to gold at 32. Capitalism and Democracy was hot. Since then Capitalism has tanked, and Democracy has brought Harpers and Trumps. Once strutting around the globe the West has tail between its legs. Our southern neighbour is ripping Nafta to shreds.

For the last 20 years I have made my living outside Canada because better jobs have all gone offshore. And I am planning to move there soon because I happen to speak the lingos. I doubt most can.

Convictions do not fill belly. You are welcome to uphold yours in a childless society below replenishment, watching the civilization set.

Never in history immigrants "blend in". Why should they? Europeans did not. They take over. The party lasts a while.
