Subject: We SHOULD be concerned RE: O Canada @ 2010
We SHOULD be concerned.
Our National Anthem - at the 2010 Vancouver OlympicsPlease read and forward to as many Canadians you can think of - thank youWE ARE PROUD CANADIANSBruce Allen is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee and new Canadians (specifically Hindi's/Indian's) want him fired for his recent comments outlined below: I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Hindi at the 2010 Olympics- enough is enough. Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language because of immigration. It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation - which was not even close to our National Anthem. I am not the least bit sorry if this offends ANYONE, this is MY COUNTRY; My Grand Dad served in the military, other family members also served, as well as my wife & I served a combined total of 56 years between us. We made many sacrifices for our country and do not feel we should feel obligated to allow invited people we've welcomed with open arms to influence & change our society to better resemble the one they chose to leave to come here!!! - IF YOU AGREE ABOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY, SPEAK UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE-- please pass this along . I am not against immigration. In fact I believe we need more, my ancestors were immigrants -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the Rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!' It's time we all get behind Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness His comments were anything but racist, however, there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are attempting to change everything we hold dear. ARE you PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and Still be CANADA if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in CANADA because it is the Country of Choice??????Think about it!IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT.It's Time for CANADIANS to speak up.. If you agree ? Pass this along; if you don't agree?Delete it and reap what you sew because of your complacency!

Absolutily agree, Canada is the way it is today because we have chosen our ways in which we live to better our lives and keep hold of our Canadian heritage. Reguardless of your religeous or national background, if you have chosen a Canadian citizenship, then by god, you have made your choice and you should have enough respect to embrace it, not try to change it. THIS IS CANADA AND WE ARE CANADIAN.
No offense, but what is Canadian supposed to mean anyway? If being Canadian is protecting an Anglo/British heritage without any understanding towards other cultures in Canada. Then that isn't the Canada I thought I loved.
Try living in Toronto and see what being Canadian means. I think it is a great thing to share in all these different cultures that is part of the Canadian worldview. To me being Canadian is accepting whoever wants to move to this country and make a go of it, not force them to be like me so that 'I' can feel comfortable. Culture and society isn't static but a dynamic process. Canadian culture has and will continue to change.
Big deal if the canadian national anthem is sung in hindi. I can think of quite a few Indian soldiers that died for the queen in World War I and World War II. Everyone has spilled blood for some cause. It doesn't make anyone more canadian than another.
