Tel-Chai Nation

Front Page Magazine explains perfectly why Canada ended up coming close to having a terrorist attack on their hands: they're less strict about asking immigrants to respect their new nationality, and more willing to accept multiculturalism.

Americans generally expect immigrants to adopt not just American citizenship but also American nationality: to embrace American values, to revere the U.S. Constitution and to learn to speak English. Our more multicultural neighbors to the north have demanded less of those who apply for their passports. Canadians have asked immigrants few questions about their religious and political convictions. Recently, the Canadian government has even been considering allowing Muslims to substitute Islamic Sharia law for civil law. It will be instructive to see if this episode prompts any changes in Canadian thinking.

There you have it. If this is how Canada is going to go about with their own entry visas, then they'll just simply reap what they sow.

Canada, like many European countries, is going to have to change its way of thinking if they're to maintain a free country for free people.

Update: Jonah Goldberg (via Betsy Newmark) explains why being just plain nice isn't going to keep any Islamofascists from biting the hand that feeds them. And Ian Robinson of the Calgary Sun (also via Betsy's Page) explains perfectly what's wrong with multiculturalism.
