Travel Info When multiculturalism in Toronto ends up with that most people don't speak English isn't there a real problem? Travel Tips you're right , that is a problem. Others you are right , too many Desi's here. i think new comers should be sent to different provinces not here in ON. Its fully saturated. Instead of looking at is a problem, why not look at it as a new experience? Many newcomers don't speak English upon arriving, but the majority of immigrants to Toronto realize that to really get by in the city they need to learn English. That's why we have L.I. N.C. classes (Language instruction for New Comers) which are always fully enrolled and why we have E.S.L. (English as a second language) in our schools. Personally, I welcome new cultures to my city and would hope that I would be treated the same way were I to move to another city and new way of life. That will never become a problem, as our two official languages are English and French. We will always have government services in both official languages. As for shopping and other things, you always have options not to shop at certain stores or not eat in certain restaurants. After all variety is the spice of life. With a poor attitude toward immigrants we will end up no better than the US and its views on Mexican and Mexican Americans. 8th Generation Canadian, and relative of Laura Secord No..quite the opposite...it adds to the city. Remember, many Canadians were already unable to communicate with each other long before recent immigration, as there are already about 25% of the population speaking French as their first language. Canadians are cool like that...Canada is made up of all sorts of people & that's why it's such a great country....Canadians will not only cope, but will thrive with the wonderful immigrants. It's not just english speaking people that are good people in this world. I have met very few "Canadians" even our parents and grand parents came from somewhere, mine came from Scotland and England, my husband's from Ireland. The kids and grand kinds of the ones that are settling now will be complaining about the same thing. |
