I received a forwarded email today from a Canadian friend. I normally don't even open these kinds of emails, but I opened this one for some reason (and I believe "everything" happens for a reason).
This email-forward contained one of those whiny rants - put together by someone with way too much time on their hands - wanting everyone to spread their collective outrage about the Canadians of Hindu origin requesting that the Canadian Anthem be sung in Hindi during the 2010 Olympics.
The gist of this email was presented as a concerned Canadian wanting to preserve Canadian "culture."
With Canada being such a young Country, I worry that my native land is sounding more like a land of division and narrow definitions. Canada was born as a land of immigrants... people who fled from other less-hospitable places seeking freedom.
I hope "the message" can be heard and appreciated.
We are all connected.
