DISTINCT SOCIETY or MELTING POT

I believe there is a reason Countries were created. Countries represent people with similar language, beliefs and social structure.

The "Melting pot" was the way new Countries like Canada, were formed. Immigrants came to this land, adopted the best, added the good parts of their heritage and this influx of new ideas, coupled with older ingrained traditions, was called a "Melting pot". The very best from all cultures combining into one great County of proud citizens.

The "Distinct Society" is basically bringing your old homeland and it's beliefs and social structure with you as you immigrate to a better country. This unique system allows the immigrating person to leave their country, without improving that place, and move here to impose your home Countries beliefs and social structure here. This allows the Country accepting immigrants to turn into a microcosm of many Countries and with that, the worlds troubles.

I think a re-look at going back to the "Melting pot", might have merit.

I believe this person has put into words, (on the bumper sticker) what a lot of Canadian's think.
