02sled Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 6 hours ago, Sludgey said: Omg xenophobe How does expecting someone who chooses to immigrate to another country to learn the language of that country translate into a fear of something foreign. Are you suggesting that these people would be reasonable in expecting their adopted country to adapt to them and learn to speak the language of the immigrant? So in your concept how many languages must government services be offered? There was an amber alert came on tv last night. It was printed and spoken in English and then in French twice. Perhaps it should have also been in Hindi, Arabic, all of the multiple Chinese dialects, Greek, German and so on. We have lots of ethnic communities and have had for a long time. Greek, Ukrainian etc. They still speak their native language but also learn English. It's only recently that the quickly growing ethnic groups expect their adopted country to adapt to accommodate them rather than they adapt to the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why we should adapt for people who come here from other Countries. If you're moving to another country learn the language. Pretty simple Most people would agree with you. If you looked into why the London Police cars have other languages on them, it's because the police dept wanted to be more inclusive of the residents of their city. Many languages were added to the cars going back as far as 2009. Of course, some loser snaps a pic and makes a stupid Facebook posts and then reels in guys like 02sled and his ilk. https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.3614547 http://www.snopes.com/arabic-on-canadian-police-cars/ Edited December 3, 2016 by ICEMAN!

English and French. If you live in Canada you should be able to read and speak one of those two languages. It's people like you that think we should pander to all the ethnic groups that demand we adapt to them rather than they adapt to us. Does that mean that you support Sharia law being accepted in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Using figures from Statistics Canada, officials selected the most frequently used languages for the stickers, including Vietnamese, Chinese, Persian and Polish. There are plans to include Spanish stickers in the future. "It was a means of being inclusive of the diverse members within the city of London," Bough told CBC News."

Most countries you go to, the educated speak English they all want to learn it since they feel it will be valuable. So if immigrants coming to Canada can't speak or understand our language, that says enough about who they are. 52 minutes ago, Dave said: Ice is just trolling. I don't think he is.
