Canada is a multicultural country and its philosophy recognizes ethnic diversity within a society and it encourages others to be enlightened by worthwhile contributions by those of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Immigrants, who have come here to seek a better future for themselves and for their children, and hence the diaspora community, be they Sikh, Irish, Indian, Tamil, Pakistani, Palestinian, Israeli or whatever, should forget their home politics once they enter Canada.
This is a non-aligned country and that is why Canada has been policing some of the world’s trouble spots. In some cases, Canada’s role has been to mediate between nations. Canada solves other nations’ quarrels so we can’t have other nations’ quarrels at our doorsteps — that’s the argument in simple terms.
