Multiculturalism assumes we don't have a unique culture

By Frosty Wooldridge

The accelerating fraud of multiculturalism manifests itself only in first world countries.  For some arcane reason, it assumes that the cultures of Canada, Europe, Australia and America are not unique or complete in themselves.

“Two generations of students have been taught to believe that all cultures are created equal, that we do not have a legitimate made-in-Canada or made-in-America cultural identity deserving of protection….” Tim Murray

My friend Tim Murray brings the hammer down on the fallacious pretention that “multiculturalism” is the end all and be all for destroying one’s own culture.

“The same mentality exists in Australia,” said Murray. “After 70 years of “White Australia” policy, we are meant to feel guilt and thus we need to have open borders and open minds and allow “diversity” and multiculturalism as an ideal. Patriotism for Australia is considered “racist” but other settlers are encouraged to cherish their national/cultural identities.

“Multiculturalism assumes that Australia doesn’t have a culture. Our early poets, bush-ballads, traditional songs and dances, folklore, visual arts, indigenous culture, colonial and Federation architecture is undermined by modern-day celebration of “Harmony” and “Diversity”. How many school kids would recognise or recite one of Banjo Patterson’s poems now?

“”Multiculture” is not a culture itself, but a salad of mixed ethnic identities. It’s been used to justify mass immigration. There’s no “glue” to hold together any common ideals – and there are strong sanctions against any discussion or criticism of it.

“Even the ANZAC Day memories are becoming of little significance, but for a few who remember their fore-fathers who fought in the two world wars, it is being embraced as a symbol of our past.

“BraveNewWorld”, your observations would resonate with most Canadians—at least—-Canadians of my generation and older.

“One by one, our traditions and symbols are falling like bowling pins, except for one courageous action by our much reviled “Conservative” government. They restored the word “Royal” to the name of the Canadian Air Force. The hypocritical reaction by the “left” was predictable. Like the republicans in Australia, they said that keeping such symbols was indicative of a colonial mentality, proof that we had not yet “grown up” as a nation. Hmmm. Yet they are willing to see Canada colonized by cultures from across the globe, and are gleeful by the exponential increase in the number of “ethnic” (that is foreign) enclaves in Canada’s urban centres.

“It is absurd to say that keeping the Queen as our politically impotent head of state is a symbol of subservience. The fact that I kept my father’s surname (“Murray”) is not a statement of my subservience or lack of independence from my father. It is simply a tribute to his contribution to my well-being and character. He is part of me, but not the whole of me. And I will not renounce his name to make someone else feel comfortable.

“The British, the French and the indigenous peoples are not mere fragments of a Canadian “mosaic” but FOUNDING PEOPLES in a distinctive CANADIAN culture. Apologists for multiculturalism often remark, “What is a Canadian anyway?”, as they see the cultural fragmentation of our country proceed unchecked with the arrival of 700,000 migrants a year 90% of whom from “non-traditional” sources. But Canadians of my father’s generation, the ones who stormed Juno Beach in Normandy or flew in the RAF, RCAF or served in the “Royal” Canadian navy as my uncles did knew what a Canadian was. And so did the people they left behind at home.

“In just 30 years I have witnessed the deliberate and calculated demolition of a nation. A nation that our founding peoples created long before the Johnny-come-latelys joined the party. My great grandparents—the first of my family to make Canada their home—were Scandinavians—-and they were proud to salute the Red Ensign (with its Union Jack), make an oath of allegiance to our CANADIAN head-of-state (Queen Victoria), obey British-based laws and speak one of our official languages (English) without aid or encouragement. And their attitude is still typical of most immigrants today no matter where they came from. Who then is behind this policy of official multicultural-schism? Answer– two groups—those who have found it politically convenient to harness and mobilize ethnic voters as a bloc vote in support of the growth lobby. And those cheap labour employers who want a large pool of unskilled labour to draw from and more consumers to sell to.

“It is time that the ideology of multiculturalism be exposed for what it is. A fig leaf for the corporate agenda of growing the labour pool under the guise of ‘diversity and tolerance’. Multiculturalism, aka “Diversity”, is just a smokescreen for a criminally destructive Population Ponzi Scheme. When will so-called “left wing” dupes see it for the scam it is? When will they understand that the best friend that workers have is a CHEAP LABOUR MARKET? When will environmentalists understand that mass immigration has a profoundly negative ecological impact, and that in effect, more “cultural diversity” comes at the expense of “biological diversity”, as new housing sprawls over our best farmland to accommodate immigration-driven population growth, putting 500 species-at-risk?”

Apparently some corporate donors were paying them to be a one-trick pony.
