A new poll on immigration from the Environics Institute finds that first-generation Canadians and non-white Canadians have stronger opinions against immigration than white Canadians and third-generation+ Canadians. 63% of first-generation Canadians and 60% of non-white Canadians think too many immigrants are not adopting Canadian values. 57% of first-generation Canadians and 54% of non-white Canadians think that many refugee claimants are fake.

Indians and Israelis, wherever they go are loyal to the land they live on. A hindu and a jew in the US/EU are both american/european first, and hindu/jewish later. Concept of ‘karmabhoomi’ and ‘pitrubhoomi’ is something Israelis and Indians both understand well :)

Here is my take on the B.C. election: What a political earthquake! David Eby called an election two years early, hoping for a bigger mandate. He had a majority government. The Conservatives were divided and in turmoil. He went looking for a bigger mandate and came back without a government. Nine years of NDP rule. OVER. And perhaps that is the best political news Alberta conservatives could have hoped for: the possibility of a new partner across the Rockies, ready to build rather than block. But beyond the political drama, there is a lesson every government in Canada should take VERY seriously. You cannot govern on yesterday’s victories while people struggle with today’s problems. Families are worried about paying their bills. Parents want a family doctor. Young people wonder if they’ll ever afford a home. Workers want good jobs and a future worth working for. Meanwhile, politicians can spend months fighting over issues that barely make the kitchen-table conversation. And then election night arrives. Voters have a remarkable way of reminding politicians who actually works for whom. People aren’t asking for miracles. They are asking for results. Make life affordable. Fix what isn’t working. Build things. Create opportunity. Keep communities safe. Respect taxpayers. And above all, never confuse winning a political argument with improving someone’s life. That’s a lesson for B.C., Alberta, Ottawa and every government in this country. Elections are won with promises. Trust is earned with results. And governments fall when they forget the difference. Perhaps we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of an era of NDP governments in Western Canada. I certainly hope so. For those of us frustrated by the NDP’s record on affordability, economic growth and natural resource development, this result is significant. But here comes the twist, Premier Danielle Smith may have just gained something Alberta has wanted for years: a potential partner across the Rockies who sees energy development as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. In my mind, Alberta just became one of the biggest winners in an election where Albertans didn’t cast a single ballot. Imagine Alberta and B.C. working together to build pipelines, develop our natural resources, attract billions in investment and create good-paying jobs instead of fighting over them. And my hope is that Canada enters a new era defined less by political division, endless arguments and missed opportunities, and more by what we can actually build together. Because the future doesn’t belong to those who are best at arguing about it. It belongs to those willing to build it. History has a funny way of reminding politicians that nothing lasts forever. Not power. Not popularity. And certainly not the patience of voters. That’s my honest take!

Tonight, British Columbians chose a new direction. We’re doing this for our sons and daughters. For the future they deserve and the province we owe them. Thank you, British Columbia, I won’t let you down.

Virtually all of the slopulist right "influencers" in Canada were on Team One BC, which won 1% of the vote. They set their hair on fire when the BC Conservatives decided to stabilize themselves as a mainstream centre-right party at the beginning of the campaign. As with the Alberta referendum, this is yet more evidence that these so-called influencers have no influence, and should be broadly ignored by sensible, principled Canadian conservatives.

Ran into this fella in Toronto at the Albany Club! He was presenting on the West. Me, at another event, on terrorism. We agreed a mashup wouldn’t be a good thing. In his book, Think Big (get it!), the final chapter is entitled “The Scout.” In his post political career he has held to that commitment, venturing to new terrain and reporting back on what lies ahead. And it inspired me to do the same in mine. Thank you Preston Manning, for everything. See you again soon.
