Should Newcomers Be More Canadian? Or Vice Versa?


Canada's proud to be a multicultural country, and here in Toronto, we're known to be the most cosmopolitan city in the world. But what do those big words multicultural and cosmopolitan really mean? Do they mean anything at all?

One viral video in the U.S. shows the frustration some people have towards newcomers, in this case Asians:



Is she an ugly American? Or are her neighbours and schoolmates ugly immigrants? Should she have minded her own business in the library and let the Asians behave as they wish? If she were to visit Asia, should they politely put up with her American ways that disturb Asians?

Think about it and share your thoughts Feel free to share your experiences as well. I look forward to reading your blogs and comments!


P.S. Check out the background story to the viral video here.
