There’s something that happened that I can’t quite put my finger on. Sure I’m going to show my age here but when I went to elementary school in the 80s/90s our entire school was essentially made up of immigrants. Irish, British, Polish, Ukrainians, Filipinos, Iranians, Syrians, Indians, etc, etc, etc and we all got along just fine. we were all friends. We all went to each others birthday parties, all our parents hung out with each other. If a new familiy immigrated in and moved to our neighborhood we’d have a big BBQ and invite everyone over.
So what happened? and it swings both ways. Both Canadians being hostile to new immigrants and immigrants coming in and being hostile or disrespectful to the country they decided to move to and it’s people.
I just don’t get it and maybe someone smarter than I can explain it.
