Canada or at least most Canadians got the memo.  68% in the most recent survey want new immigrants to make a greater effort to adapt and assimilate to Canadian values and culture.

Regretfully, our prime minister did not get the memo.  He remains enraptured by daddy's decades old, discredited policy of official multiculturalism whereby the government takes our money and uses it to pay newcomers to in effect locate to cultural ghettos segregated from the mainstream and thereby remain outside that mainstream.  

Even Angela Merkel has repeatedly spoken out about the dis-functional and divisive nature of immigrants being encouraged not to assimilate and the only remaining hold out, president Obama, will be gone in 23 days (although his promotion of identity politics in the US has already been discredited with the GOP winning its biggest seat tally since 1928).

But our Yesterday's Man  JT proclaims that Canada is a post national state with no basic values or culture.

Pandering politics!
