As you said, *sometimes* ---- perhaps, but most often not. There's most smoke after a fire's been put out and smoke lingers on for a very long time. Every single failing of minorities empowers! Every single failing of minorities becomes an excuse!!

What professions are you talking about? Are there really really no locals in Canada who even want to fill these jobs? I hope you're not suggesting that licensing bodies lower their standards to accomodate 3rd worlders. Or perhaps you're not suggesting to try to put 3rd worlders into the worst possible occupations that even locals don't want. Because that would be a very mean thing to do!! No?

And, If a government is really really 'xenophobic' - in quotes - it wouldn't have endorsed any generous immigration policy. Look at Japan or other Asian countries. Action speaks louder than words. People who live in poverty always clamor for more. People crave more for status than absolute wealth.

Let's put it another way: conflict arises because people share the same territory and compete for the same resources. Differences - be it racial, ethnic, religious, linguistic - accentuate it.

Oh, so CNN is wrong? How about The Economist? From the Economist: "TOP TEN Vancouver Melbourne Vienna Geneva Perth Adelaide Sydney Zurich Toronto Calgary Source: EIU" Or how about Mercer Human Resource Consulting...

You've cited many examples of group conflict. Let me cite more examples from the British Empire in the age of the twilight of the American Empire, oops, Republic, courtesy of wikipedia I honestly admit. Canucks must be happy for sure of a possible American sunset - but let's look at the immediate past:

---- Hinduism vs. Islam (India and Pakistan, Kashmir) The Malays vs. Ethnic Chinese & Ethnic Indians (Malaya) Native Melanesians v. Indo-Fijians (Fiji) The Sinhalese vs. the Tamils (Sri Lanka) The Burmese vs. the Karens (Myanmar) The Burmans vs. Mon (Myanmar) Nigeria (conflict between the Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba and other ethnic groups). Parbreastion of the Pashtun (Afghanistan and Pakistan) The Arabs vs. the Jews (British mandate of Palestine) Iraq (Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds) Cyprus (Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots) Ireland (Irish Catholics and British Protestants) South Africa (Boers, British Settlers, Xhosa, Zulu, and other Native Africans) Guyana (Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese) Sudan (Northern Sudanese vs. Southern Sudanese, of which the latter were clbuttified as a separate racial group by the British) British North America-Canada (French Canadians vs English Canadians, native peoples vs settlers, M=E9tis vs English Canadians, English and French Canadians vs other immigrants) New Zealand (Maoris vs settlers) Kenya (conflict between the Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luo, Luhya, Masai and various other ethnic groups) Zimbabwe (conflict between British settlers, Shona and Matabele). ----

Wow.

Importing people from different backgrounds is like trying to remake a country in the image of the world.

History indicates little chance of success. Looks like to me that diversity is not strength. It's a weakness.

1965 Immigration Act

If I'm or wer ts, he ong IQs

It's skewed toward the parents. AND (surprise to liberals) your ancestors or biological relatives do count so the individual is merely a player in this complex biological web. OK let's make this concrete. Let's say you import a black IQ 120 immigrant from Sudan vs a IQ 120 immigrant from Britain. Chances are that the IQ 120 immigrant from Britain will leave smarter descendants for the exact reasons that you mentioned, all else being equal.

I liked it just fine, but I would have to go back to school for science and technology courses to make use of the more esoteric stuff in my daily...

That was my entire point all along - track back please.
