Speak Up, P.M. Harper

The expected damage has now become to much to ignore. Last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made international headlines by declaring 'multi culti' as a failure. The reaction was no surprise, as many shrugged off her words as some sort of World War II leftover. A television pundit went so far as to blame Germany itself for the failure, as apparently they are "...inherently prejudiced...".  But when British P.M. David Cameron echoed Merkel's claim with a scathing speech he presented earlier this year, it gave credibility to the issue. More than that, many of us became impressed that our leaders had finally started to admit the truth even at the possible expense of votes in our overly politically-correct world.  Now, suave French president Nicolas Sarkozy (have you seen his wife?) has caught the wave and has spoken the obvious: multiculturalism has failed.

I applaud all three of them for their honesty, not to mention their balls.

The (minority) Harper government has toughened the citizenship tests, and has published new instructions for aspiring citizens. The responsibilities of citizenship are now stressed — including the responsibility to learn at least one official language.
