STATEMENT 1: When people move to a new country, they should adapt to the ways of
that country. They should forget the traditions of their ethnic group.
STATEMENT 2: Cultural differences strengthen Canadian unity. Our differences allow
us to have many viewpoints on key issues. Besides, people can take pride in their ethnic
background and in being Canadian.
STATEMENT 3: The English and French are not the only groups who have built Canada.
Other immigrant groups have helped as well. Let us encourage people to preserve their
heritage.
STATEMENT 4: We cannot function with a dozen different languages and cultures. The
solution is one basic English-speaking culture. If groups want to preserve their culture,
let them do so in special areas of the country.

STATEMENT 5: Differences lead to problems. Let us reduce, not encourage,

differences. We need a new Canadian culture - just Canadian! Forget about ethnic
heritage and work towards building a Canada for all Canadians
The Global Village Revisited
We all live in the global village. We have a growing sense of the
obsolescence of nations. Satellites make us instant witnesses to
distant dramas. Massive amounts of goods flow across borders, as do
huge numbers of people and great quantities of pollution. But if you
think nations are dinosaurs, guess again. Just because people
everywhere drink Coke and drive Toyotas doesn't mean we're all
becoming the same. Nations aren't going out of business, if only
because their identities - the peculiar mixture of history, culture,
geography, social conditions, race and religion - are so durable.
