How that diversity working out in Iraq? How about old Yugoslavia? How about Rwanda? How about Czechoslovakia? "Diversity is Strength" is propaganda designed by liberals to weaken society and strengthen reliance on government. It plays into the old strategy of "divide and conquer." Do you really believe that everyone who observed "divide and conquer" throughout human history got it wrong and that instead of weakening society by creating diversity and division that they were really strengthening societies?
The fact that you can have easier access to Thai restaurants and other ethnic foods comes
A bleak picture of the corrosive effects of ethnic diversity has been revealed in research by Harvard Universitys Robert Putnam, one of the worlds most influential political scientists.
His research shows that the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone from their next-door neighbour to the mayor.
The core message of the research was that, in the presence of diversity, we hunker down, he said. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And its not just that we dont trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we dont trust people who do look like us.
Prof Putnam found trust was lowest in Los Angeles, the most diverse human habitation in human history, but his findings also held for rural South Dakota, where diversity means inviting Swedes to a Norwegians picnic.
When the data were adjusted for class, income and other factors, they showed that the more people of different races lived in the same community, the greater the loss of trust. They dont trust the local mayor, they dont trust the local paper, they dont trust other people and they dont trust institutions, said Prof Putnam. The only thing theres more of is protest marches and TV watching.

We'll agree to disagree as i believe diversity is good, you apparently believe total conformity is the way to go..

The Parti Québécois as well as the Bloc Québécois are going down the slope to nothingness. Separatism is no longer a live issue in Québec, people have mostly made up with the rest of Canada.
Separation was something of an issue between 1970 and 2000 but not today.
The last politician of value separatists had was Gilles Duceppe, but now he is retired. I should add Françoise David, but she (her party) is not significant enough to stir up trouble however brilliant she may be.
It's too bad that that Charter of Values went down to defeat. It's instructive to look at how it went down to defeat.
As with their last referendum, it was the ethnic vote.
-Without multiculturalism there would have been no need to issue a Charter of Values. The measure was in reaction to social decay, it didn't just arise spontaneously.
-Due to the ethnic vote, the voice of the people who gave Quebec it's distinctive culture and character has been silenced.
-Newcomers into society have just as much right as life-long residents to control the culture. This is unjust. We see the same in the US. An African immigrant, fresh off the plane, or a Hispanic immigrant or infiltrator, all qualify for a potpourri of special benefits that American whites don't qualify for. That African immigrant kid is given preferences for university admission, hiring into jobs and these come at the expense of the children born in the US to families who've lived in the US for generations.
-The problems of suppressing Quebecois culture doesn't just go away because the new ethnic voters didn't want to assimilate to Quebec's customs.
-It's usually better to solve a problem than to ignore a problem. The tension between the Quebecois and the Ethnics isn't going away due to this vote. It's going to get worse as the Ethnics grow in size and continue to erode Quebecois culture.
Hooray!
It's the PQ's lowest vote total since 1970.
The sovereigntists are dying off and young people don't care.

I was going to say that this has been going on since I was kid and is pretty much an non-issue to the US...
