A Letter to the Editor: 

So many letter writers have explained how this land is made up of
immigrants. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to
people why today's Canadian is not willing to accept the new kind of
immigrant any longer. 
Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to
Canada, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in
Halifax and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and
knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and
support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning
English a primary rule in their new Canadian households and some even
changed their names to blend in with their new home.They had waved
good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and
did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into
one culture. 
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labour
laws to protect them. All they had were the skills, craftsmanship and
desire they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.
Most of their children came of age when World War II broke
out.Canadians fought along side men whose parents had come straight
over from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, China, Czechoslovakia,
Russia,Sweden,Poland and so many other places. None of these first
generation Canadians ever gave any thought about what country their
parents had come from. They were Canadians fighting Hitler, Mussolini
and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the Freedom as one
people. When we liberated France, no one in those villages was looking
for the Ukrainian-Canadian or the German-Canadian or the
Irish-Canadian.The people of France saw only Canadians. 
And we carried one flag that represented our country. Not one of those
immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's
flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a
disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These
immigrants truly knew what it meant to be a Canadian. They stirred the
melting pot into one red and white bowl. 
And here we are in 2010 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the
same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing
with a different set of rules, one that includes a Canadian passport
and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry,
that's not what being a Canadian is all about. Canadians have been
very open-hearted and open-minded regarding immigrants, whether they
were fleeing poverty, dictatorship, persecution, or whatever else
makes us think of those aforementioned immigrants who truly did ADOPT
our country, and our flag and our morals and our customs, and left
their wars, hatred, and divisions behind. I believe that the
immigrants who landed in Canada in the early 1900s deserve better than
that for the toil, hard work and sacrifice those legally searching for
a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used
as an example by those waving foreign country flags, fighting foreign
battles on our soil, making Canadians change to suit their religions
and cultures, and wanting to change our countries fabric by claiming
discrimination when we do not give in to their demands. 
Its about time we get real and stand up for our forefathers rights, we
are CANADIAN Lest we forget it I am a Native of this Country & proud
of it!
