Should We Accept Canada Essay

In Canada we have a strong belief that we should accept one another, it is considered to be what makes us Canadian. Following this logic we should therefore accommodate a large amount of nationalities. There are exceptions to this rule; they can’t infringe upon a person rights, which I find reasonable. We have, in our past, committed our share of atrocities and made a few mistakes. We have caused a great deal of harm to the First Nations people, and we sent back 10000 Jewish refugees back to Nazi Germany. From these mistakes we have learned to accept people. This is not to say we accept everyone, we stopped the FLDS from harming young girls by marrying them off in large numbers. We also don’t accept those who don’t speak French or English, not out of hate but because accommodating all languages officially as this would create a large barrier in this country as people would have difficulty communicating. So I think we should accommodate any nationalistic group as long as they do not violate any of our laws and we should accept as many refugees and immigrants as we can.

The history of Canada
I believe that this is very important not only to these refugees, but what Canada stands for. We stand for freedom and equality, whether someone was born here or not is of no consequence to them. We help those who need the best we can, we weren’t always so helpful though. Once in 1938 Jewish refugees who were fleeing from Nazi rule had requested refugee status in Canada, the Canadian government refused to accommodate these people who had requested our help. This refusal to help was essentially a death sentence for all those who applied. From then on we have helped as many as we could, as we have learned from our mistake. Our helpfulness is very important, we are peace keepers above all else while in conflict, if anything it is one of the biggest factors in all Canadian
