Open intolerance

Canada has long been a very politically correct country. We pride ourselves on our multiculturalism and celebrate diverse cultures by having events and parades, e.g., for the Caribbean and Indian cultures. We promote immigration to increase our comparatively tiny population and boost our economy. So, this must be a really warm, welcoming place for all people, right?

If you want to know what Canadians really think, look at the comments people post on Yahoo! articles some time. You would think that in our politically correct, multicultural nation, people would only be comfortable posting racist, hateful, ignorant things on sites that allow them to be anonymous, but to post these comments, you must log into either your Yahoo!, Google, or Facebook account. These Canadians are openly intolerant—and very disturbingly ignorant and illiterate.

Political correctness has fooled us into believing that we really do live in this utopian land, but you barely have to scratch the surface to uncover the ugly truth.
