To be labeled an ultra nationalist you answered in the poll that you agree Canada has too much diversity and would bet better off with fewer cultural groups.Who said anything about diversity?
Keep justifying your racist tripe with tortured logic. The poll question defined what it meant, the bigots after Canada would be better off with fewer cultures.The idea that "all opposition to diversity is bigotry" is a textbook example of circular reasoning. It presumes that diversity is always good, instead of seeking to prove it. In my opinion, it seems implausible that diversity must always be good. While diversity may be the heart of evolution, nature rejects and abandons its bad ideas.
Actually if you look in post two I was labeled to the leaning side. And in fact disagreed with that simplistic statement.To be labeled an ultra nationalist you answered in the poll that you agree Canada has too much diversity and would bet better off with fewer cultural groups.
Here is the text of the statement you agreed with: "There’s too much diversity in Canada, we’d be better off with fewer different cultures"
In case you missed it, this was posted earlier in the thread,Perhaps you could help find a link to the actual report of the poll data and methodology. There was no link to it on the survey-site, and I went through Abacus Data's four page list of various projects without seeing it.
Ok, thanks for clarifying. So my comments are directed at those who got the ultra nationalist label which does mean they agreed with vile statements like that.Actually if you look in post two I was labeled to the leaning side. And in fact disagreed with that simplistic statement.
I just think we should have the absolute choice to look a particular culture and say no thanks. And not all different cultures will enhance ours.
Well saidA lot of your points are unfair. For example, not everyone around the world has benefitted from globalization. North Americans who lost manufacturing jobs that moved overseas being one example.
And you don't NECESSARILY have to be a bigot to be opposed to nigh immigration levels or diversity. To be sure some ultra-nationalist are bigots, but for other ultra-nationalists their motivation might be fear of job loss due to immigration, a perception that the pace of demographic change is overwhelming, concern that new immigrants aren't integrating well, or cultural insecurity that your country is losing its national identity. Whether these fears are warranted or not is another question. But let's not automatically label all ultra-nationalists as motivated by bigotry.
I say this as osmeone who scored as an ultra-globalist. Sometimes it is important to try to understand the other side rather than dismiss their views outright and demonize them.
