Document Summary
Devs week 14 immigration and multiculturalism 1/15/2013 6:36:00 am. The great white north (as interpreted by glen gould) We insisted on retaining rights for what we now call the first.

Canada is the only substantial country in the world with no cultural, linguistic or tribal homogeneity . Canadian identity that has flourished under the shade-tree of benign colonialism. Colonialism was not always consenting or benign: we ve been colonizers but not as bad as the states. Welcomes waves of newcomers: english people show up, and everyone that was there before or shows up after are considered newcomers. The struggle with climate, geography and our northern destiny now has a new resonance with the promise of oil, gas and diamonds; the threat of global warming.
