Lots of immigrants came & as I vividly recall from great grandparents they put up with disparaging remarks etc.
But we were a kinder gentler people then who had just come out of first and second world war.
You assimilate, get along & work at being a good citizen.
Most wanted peace & were dirt poor for a long time. And had no "group" to attach too.
Now people watch TV or youtube on iPhone and expect to get everything they want.

@RogerRoger These immigrants just got to Canada so I don't see how assimilating, getting along and working at being a good citizen has anything to do with it.
I was a "white kid" when my family immigrated to Canada and had more than comments thrown at me. I recall stones and rocks. I also recall fist fights. I was four when I arrived.

Agreed; it was cowardly and we need to address this aspect of our culture/beliefs. I find myself reservedly proud of Canada (including our troglodytes) that pepper or paint was sprayed and not bullets/shrapnel.
BUT this is NOT a 1-sided issue. Muslims need to recognize that trepidation against them did not just fall out of a clear blue sky. We are facing a religion/culture that goes to seed unto the deaths of many innocents FAR too often -- more than most other religions/cultures... » more

@JDev ...absolutely disgusting behavior. This person needs to be identified and charged as soon as possible. While the crown counsel in calgary hasn't made a decision to approve hate crimes against the 2 spray painting men, I hope for a speedy decision in this case as the person's motivation was clear.

@Grizzly1 They just got a flipping plane, and you're already convinced these refugees are to blame for hate crimes against them simply because th are Muslim. Also, have you ever visited visited mosque? I went to an open house at our l mosque recently, and had lovely conversations with both Canadian-born Muslims and people who had come from all over the world. The point was never to try to con us, but to let us know what they were doing for refugees and let the community know how we can all help... » more

Which religion/culture assassinated the elected leader of Iran in the 50's and helped put the brutal Shaw in power.

It's everyone except bigots and red necks and includes those who don't know what the word dignity means and what Canada stands for.

All aggressive crimes are committed by the minority. The majority pays the price (social to financial structures) For the non-aggressive crimes sections, it is to the opposite. But, the price is much to the greater for the total of the population.

@Spinner1967 Using 65% as a number that support the refugee plan is not accurate. There were many issues during the election. A lot of people voted lib because of their plan for weed. A lot voted left because they wanted Harper out. But it's not accurate to assume all of those people also support the refugee plan.

@John Macleod And just what is accurate then, John? The fact is these people passed all the requirements to come to Canada as refugees, something many many people did over the decades and centuries and to date the vast majority have always been welcomed.
Sure there were hateful episodes such as the treatment of Chinese labourers and the rejection of boat loads of East Indians and now we see it when fools freak out over face or head coverinegs as if they were weapons.

@Tam <---- Are you kidding? Harper most definitely tried to demonize their culture. He unquestionably fanned the flames. It was a huge reason so many people were disgusted with Stephen Harper, in delivering an election win to the LIberals. Harper worked very hard to divide Canadians. Creating a culture of fear towards Muslims. So, he could conquer.

Go find some footage of Harper speaking. See if you can find just one instance in ten years when he was able to say the words Muslim or Islam without saying the word terrorist very soon after or before. He was just a little more subtle than Trump.

@mastGD In what way was it radical i.e. out of the ordinary? Canada and other countries have for long been accepting refugees. If the country is split it is because of unfounded fear and prejudice stoked by the likes of you. I suspect the country is not as split as you would like to imagine it is and you are an extremely tiny minority; Canadians are charitable and generous and we can be proud of that, not miserable like some.

Are you kidding? Just harmless gropings? Oh, well, I guess its all good harmless fun, not misogynist and violent.
Sad to say, too many politically correct people put blinders on to the uncomfortable truths of the world. This spinelessness only empowers the racists and goons as an inevitable response. If you don't want goons to do your fighting for you then you need to do your own thinking.

whatever they call it "sexual assault, rape, sexual gropings", that's very wrong.
The criminals in Cologne touched the women's breasts, intimate parts, etc...These women are all the daughters/wives/sisters/mothers of someone. I know Germany. German people are very well behaved and they would immediately apologize if they happen to accidentally touch you in a line up for example. Exactly as we do here in Canada.
