Different Points of View


"Being Canadian means freedom, being able to express my opinions. It means family. My family is all here. It also means opportunities. I know if my family lived elsewhere they would not have the same opportunities that we have here."
Bindu Dhaliwal

"We wish Québec to stay in Canada, while respecting why some of our French Québec friends feel it would be better if Québec left. We now understand why. We believe it will be devastating if Québec leaves. However, we recognize that if things stay the same Québec will leave. We have to do more than listen, and it will take effort to change. We believe change begins with individual efforts."

" I live in Canada, but I do not consider myself Canadian. I am Mohawk. My nation and my people and our system of government were established before Canada was. But I am glad to share this land called Canada with others, and work together to make it possible for all peoples to live and work together. We are all members of one race."
