Living in Canada, you see alot of diversity with cultures. I haven't a problem with that one bit.
It's when we separate ourselves, forgetting who we are, why we are here, now, in Canada, that I have a problem with.
Decking out your house and your car with flags from your home country would make sense, if, A/ you were still there, or B/ if it had a greater meaning.
But you aren't, and it doesn't. You flag-bearers make yourselves out to be the bridge of cultural diversity. After all, you're showing off your home country's flag, so you have to be open-minded, right? Except the only time you people do it is during a stupid sporting event. And all it does is separate everyone in this country.
Not once did I see any Canadian flags hung on cars today. How pathetic is that?
It's fucking SOCCER, people. Get lives.
