Elsewhere and in another newspaper Venezualean-Canadians bemoan the fact that "their country" is alone and yet we still allow, nay encourage, illegal immigrants to come to Canada. With our Multi-Culti way of treating immigrants to this country we encourage those very same immigrants to retain allegiances to their home country and to refrain from becoming true Canadians. It is very disheartening to hear peoples who have taken all that Canada has to offer and yet still have allegiances to their "home". Commenting here is because Postmedia allows comments on very few, and getting fewer, articles of the day - WaPo influence?
