Immigration policy frm 1907

It is short and to the point.

What Wilfred Laurier thought of the immigrants wanting to
become Canadians in 1907.

"First of all we must insist that the immigrant that comes
here is willing to become a Canadian and is willing to
assimilate our ways. He should be treated on equal grounds
and it would be shameful to discriminate against such a
person for reasons of their beliefs or the place of birth or
origin. But it is the responsibility of that person to
become a Canadian in all aspects of life, nothing else but a
Canadian. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man
who says that he is a Canadian but tries to impose his
customs and habits upon us, is not a Canadian. We have room
for only one flag, the Canadian flag. There is room for only
two languages here, English and French. And we have room for
loyalty but only one - loyalty to the Canadian people. We
won't accept anyone, I'm saying anyone, who will try to
impose his religion or his customs on us."

Sounds like it makes alot of sense to me...
What do you think?

Bored?

Sometimes being retired is not very exciting; however, you can make things more interesting on garbage day!

FINALLY- A DEFINITION OF THE TERM "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

For the last six odd years, almost all of the things I wanted to write or say, have been stymied by a recently coined term referred to as "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"! Although I consider myself rather fluent in the English language, that term was not in my vocabulary. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to do a little research and after two weeks of chasing fruitless leads, I found what I'd been looking for at the Truman Library and Museum in Independence Missouri. A unnamed source there sent me copies of four telegrams that were between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the Surrender Agreement. The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received, not a word has been added or deleted!

 

(1) Tokyo,Japan

0800 - September 1,1945

To: President Harry S Truman

From: General D A MacArthur

Tomorrow we meet with those yellow bellied bastards and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions!

 

(2) Washington, D C

1300 - September 1, 1945

To: D A MacArthur

From: H S Truman

Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct!

 

(3) Tokyo, Japan

1630 - September 1, 1945

To: H S Truman

From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz

Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean?

 

(4) Washington, D C

2120 - September 1, 1945

To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz

From: H S Truman

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
