You're Prufrock and Other Observations!

by T.S. Eliot

Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

TheStar.com - The way we'll be in 2017

Canada's current wave of immigration will bring a record number of people belonging to visible minorities to the country by the time the nation celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2017, a new Statistics Canada study projects.

By then, people of non-European origin will make up more than half of Greater Toronto's population.

Canada's long history as a nation of immigrants should be helpful to the newcomers, who are expected to represent more than one-fifth of Canadian residents in 2017, government and immigration experts say.

How well they succeed will depend on how fully Canada overcomes systemic problems, such as racism and barriers to employment posed by the difficulty of getting foreign training and skills recognized here. But Canada's traditions of tolerance and peaceful integration should ensure that our core institutions and values remain constant as the face of society changes.

Among the study's conclusions:

People of South Asian origin will cement their status as the Toronto region's most populous visible-minority group. Of Toronto's projected population of 6.6 million, more than 1 million will be South Asian, up from 488,000 in 2001. The second biggest group will be those of Chinese ancestry, at 735,000, up from 420,000.

The influx will, for the first time, be made up almost entirely of visible-minority groups — notably Chinese, Indian, black and, increasingly, Arab and other West Asian groups.

By 2017, people born in a different country will make up a larger percentage of the population than at any time since the turn of the last century, when waves of European newcomers began rolling over western Canada.

"I don't think we have to worry; we have to embrace this as a positive thing," says Raymond Chan, federal minister of state for multiculturalism, whose department commissioned the report.

"The diversity in Canada's population has always been a contributing factor to building our nation, and this is not the first time we've had that kind of influx," Chan said yesterday. Among the report's other findings:

In 2017, about 20 per cent of Canadians — between 6.3 million and 8.5 million residents — will be members of visible-minority groups. In the 2001 census, only 13 per cent of Canadians identified themselves as such.

The rate of growth within non-European immigrant communities will range from 56 per cent to 111 per cent between 2001 and the sesquicentennial year — up to 23 times faster than the rest of the population.

The vast majority of new immigrants — 75 per cent — will congregate in the country's three largest urban centres. In both Toronto and Vancouver, visible minorities will represent half or more of the population by 2017.

Toronto will carry the brunt of the immigration load, settling 45 per cent of all newcomers from visible minorities. Vancouver will get 18 per cent and Montreal 11 per cent.

The visible-minority population of the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area — which includes most of Greater Toronto plus Burlington — would range between 2.8 million and 3.9 million in 2017. That's up from 1.7 million — or 36.8 per cent of the area's population — in 2001.

Ontario, which has argued strenuously in recent weeks for more federal money to help settle immigrants, would have a visible-minority population of almost 4.1 million: 47 per cent of the national total.

British Columbia would be home to some 1.4 million people from visible-minority groups, or 20 per cent of the nation's total.

The impact of this influx will probably intensify over coming years, the report says, as children are born to new arrivals.

The newcomers will be a relatively youthful group, with a median age of 35.5 — eight years younger than that of the rest of the population.

University of Toronto demographer David Foot says that the emergent immigrant baby boom — which will account for less than one-third of the expected increase in visible minorities — is a product of the overall younger age of the newcomers, rather than a tendency to have more children.

New Canadians are more likely to be in their prime childbearing years. But immigrants are unlikely to produce more children over their lifetimes than any other group in Canada.

This latest chapter in Canada's long history of immigration may be drawing attention because of its ethnic composition, but it's likely to end in the same, familiar way as past waves of settlement, says Chan.

"In different times in Canadian history, we've had different rushes of immigration," says Chan, himself an immigrant from Hong Kong.

"And they all contributed positively to the economy, to the strength of the country."

University of Toronto sociologist Jeffrey Reitz agrees that the latest immigrant wave differs little from those that have swept over the country before.

The newcomers will be a relatively youthful group, with a median age of 35.5
"Change is constant. It started with mainly British, then more northern European and Scandinavian, then east European and south European," says Reitz, who specializes in Canadian immigration

"In the '70s we opened it up to the world. Now we say all Europeans are the new `us,' and now there's a new `them,' and it's people who are not European."

Reitz says the modern Canadian immigration flow follows naturally from the previous patterns, in which Canada was always among the world's most welcoming nations.

"Canada's commitment to immigration in this new global era is relatively high compared to other countries," he says.

And most Canadians still support the country's immigration program. Many would even like to see it expanded.

"It's remarkable in Canada how, in general, the public has embraced (immigration) as an affirmation of Canadian identity, rather than a challenge to it," he says.

Aftab Ahmed hopes the future doesn't look entirely like the past.

"I've been here for the past 30 years," Ahmed says. "When I came, the immigrants were usually from the British Isles and Europe. There weren't that many visible minorities around back then. Sometimes, you had to look for a South Asian person to talk to."

The High Park resident hopes the climate for tomorrow's immigrants will have changed. "When I came, there was lots of racism and discrimination."

The business degree he earned in his native Pakistan wasn't recognized here, so Ahmed took to driving a taxi, a job he still holds today for the sake of his children's future.

"I took a bullet for my kids. I sacrificed my life for my kids."

Most experts say the non-European nature of this latest immigrant wave will bring its own unique challenges.

Where past waves of immigrants often came from Europe's poor and working-class populations, many of today's newcomers are specifically recruited for their skills and education, points out Ursa George, director of Toronto's Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement.

Studies have shown that recent minority immigrants are faring worse in Canada, economically, than their European counterparts, despite being better educated.

"And our major challenge will be access to employment and opportunities that are equal," she says. "We especially hear a lot of questioning around (academic) accreditations and access to trades and professions, which has a connotation of racism to it."

George, who is also associate dean of the University of Toronto's department of social work, says it makes no sense to lure skilled workers to Canada only to have them work behind the wheel of a cab.

She says that ensuring a smooth immigrant transition into Canadian society will require that governments "very consciously" deal with such economic roadblocks.

On the other hand, she says, regressive social or religious attitudes that new immigrants might bring to Canada, about issues such as women's rights, can't be allowed to infiltrate the existing culture.

And as visible minorities gradually become the majority in places like Toronto, George says, they must also ensure that they do not deny others access to jobs and services as they achieve some economic power in Canadian society.

"We have to create a society where everyone feels safe and where everyone feels that their opportunities and their chances are not hampered by the presence of another group."

Still, Reitz says purely racist attitudes will no doubt appear as visible minority populations grow.

"I don't mean it's some inter-ethnic utopia in Canada. For some people, they (visible minorities) are less desirable as newcomers, frankly," he says.

"Discrimination is not absent from Canadian society, but relative to other countries we've embraced these changes."

Chan, who was attending an immigration forum in Ottawa yesterday that accompanied the report's release, says that issues of health-care access, language education, cultural transitions and job access must be addressed.

"We just have to understand the challenges and be focused in our efforts."

THIS has made my day. :)

~ rebecca 5:17 PM ~ [+]

was just checkin' out my archives - looking at what i was up to this time last year.
had just gotten back from barcelona. so much fun stuff going on.
gigs gigs gigs. the night and day. 5th ave. i am klootness. making fresh pasta with kate and eric in kate's flat in withington. sketchy bus rides into the city centre. the FAB cafe. watching sex and the city and friends in the common room with maria and shrina. running to McColls for a packet of McCoy's salt and vinegar crisps. making tiramisu at jan and seb's place. missing the last train to manchester, being stranded in liverpool, and crashing at one of the best hostels EVER. rather spontaneously hopping on a short flight to the mediterranean.

why does it seem like there was ALWAYS tons of fun stuff going on last year over there. hmmmmmmmm mmmmmaybe because school wasn't such a big part of my life. not that i WANT school to be a big part of my life HERE... but unfortunately it seems to have taken over for the time being. doesn't help that everyone around me is in the same boat. or maybe it does. i don't know.

what the hell am i saying?!?!? AAAAARGH. (i only had ONE brown cow tonight so this is not drunken rambling)
i was just telling naomi how it's too bad (???) i feel i'd like to live in toronto for a while... when my SO is quite attached to someplace far away.
point being... i DO have fun here.... i think it's just the school element that makes things difficult.. and only a few more weeks of that left. i'm really looking forward to spending some of the summer here.
it's not like there's a lack of fun things to do here...
part of what made last year so special was just the NEWNESS of it all... the fresh start after a not so great 2nd year. i think. but Manchester DOES have quite a crazy fun character... something hard to find here.

AHA! i've got it. it's all about the weather. that's it.
it really does come down to: when it's cold, you don't wanna be outside. in manchester, it was always so easy to get around, to be outside, hence the getting out more... right??
ohhhhh i think i just miss my friends from last year... if i could go back.. oh wait, they're now spread all over the world. damn.
i better wrap up this rambling and get to some reading in bed.
something due in every single class next week.

right. so i wanted to blog right away before the goodness of the day fades away...
it's been a good, productive day so far.
and... if my recent sleeping patterns are any indication, (it's almost dinner time but -) my day isn't even half over!
and it's been springy, as in - relatively warm, the sun was out a fair bit, i noticed more tourists around than in the past few months of wintery hellishness.
i even noticed some trees budding!

went to kensington for groceries. our fridge and cupboard are looking MUCH better now. highlights: eggos and mini frozen pizzas. and raisins. and day-old bread. and PASTRAMI.
had a very constructive meeting with a prof then proceeded north to the bank - -
oh how i've missed Bloor Street!! it's true! standing on the north side across from the Varsity field, you get a pretty awesome panorama perspective of the downtown... i really wanted to take a picture. but i didn't. i'll be back. then i finally decided to dig down to the bottom of my bag to get my camera and take a picture of the ROM construction. can't wait to see how it turns out.
[note to self: check out that design exhibit at the AGO.]
proceeded east to buy banquet tickets. ooh la la ... now i just need a dress.
i can't quite pinpoint the source of my happiness. that's not a bad thing. guess i've just found a bit of inspiration in a mix of little things that i've encountered today.
last night was nice too. i finished my cover letter, sent it to daddy, played guitar (!!) and spoke to my cheri. 2 weeks baaaaby.
which reminds me that april fools is maria's birthday!

on a sadder note - my ankle still hurts from when i made that grand entrance to the CrocRock and sprained it many many weeks ago.

Speaking of ankles...
am wearing eric's ankle socks. it's time to do laundry.

saw a Ugandan children's choir perform today. their spirit is incredible. their voices - glorious. within a minute of them dancing on to the stage, my eyes filled with tears as i thought of all the kids who became really special to me last summer.
these choir kids are all HIV/AIDS orphans. they belong to a child care ministry. as the concert went on, it became more and more obvious how 'professional' this group is - the presentation was sooo scripted - in some way it almost did not seem quite genuine. and i hate myself for thinking like this, but when the kids would speak in between songs of how their parents died, they went to live with their abusive aunt who would deny them food... it was so obvious they had been trained to put emphasis on certain words with certain intonation. i felt as if i were watching a play. hmm. have now checked out their website, and yeah - they go on EXTENSIVE nearly year-long tours all over the world. guess that explains it all. i guess it felt strange because at first they totally reminded me of the mwandi kids, but then i realized how different these kids actually are, traveling the globe in their decked out tourbus, 'GOD Loves You' written on the front of the bus. (i saw it drive away)

it quickly became obvious how religiously based they are... ok. so i realize religion plays a significant role in African development... it's a way for these kids to get help... and it makes me sad to say this, but ... the video they played featuring the founder of the ministry - well, it disturbed me. my mood completely changed. i just can't help being very critical of the fact that they say things like - 'we provide food, shelter and education for these kids, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, we suffocate them with the word of the Lord.' okay so that last part is a bit off, but i can't remember what he said. argh. i couldn't bring myself to donate at the end. of course i want to help orphans in africa. i am a poor student but that's not quite an excuse not to give even a few dollars. well, other than the fact that i only had a 20 on me, i think you really have to pick and choose which charities to give to. and the deeply religious affiliation of this one was a real turnoff. not to sound harsh, but it's true.

end rant. on to other things..

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS-ONLINE EDITION
Missile Counter-Attack
Axworthy fires back at U.S. -- and Canadian -- critics of our BMD decision in An Open Letter to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Thu Mar 3 2005

By LLOYD AXWORTHY

Dear Condi, I'm glad you've decided to get over your fit of pique and venture north to visit your closest neighbour. It's a chance to learn a thing or two. Maybe more.
I know it seems improbable to your divinely guided master in the White House that mere mortals might disagree with participating in a missile-defence system that has failed in its last three tests, even though the tests themselves were carefully rigged to show results.

But, gosh, we folks above the 49th parallel are somewhat cautious types who can't quite see laying down billions of dollars in a three-dud poker game.

As our erstwhile Prairie-born and bred (and therefore prudent) finance minister pointed out in presenting his recent budget, we've had eight years of balanced or surplus financial accounts. If we're going to spend money, Mr. Goodale added, it will be on day-care and health programs, and even on more foreign aid and improved defence.

Sure, that doesn't match the gargantuan, multi-billion-dollar deficits that your government blithely runs up fighting a "liberation war" in Iraq, laying out more than half of all weapons expenditures in the world, and giving massive tax breaks to the top one per cent of your population while cutting food programs for poor children.

Just chalk that up to a different sense of priorities about what a national government's role should be when there isn't a prevailing mood of manifest destiny. Coming to Ottawa might also expose you to a parliamentary system that has a thing called question period every day, where those in the executive are held accountable by an opposition for their actions, and where demands for public debate on important topics such a missile defence can be made openly.

You might also notice that it's a system in which the governing party's caucus members are not afraid to tell their leader that their constituents don't want to follow the ideological, perhaps teleological, fantasies of Canada's continental co-inhabitant. And that this leader actually listens to such representations.

Your boss did not avail himself of a similar opportunity to visit our House of Commons during his visit, fearing, it seems, that there might be some signs of dissent. He preferred to issue his diktat on missile defence in front of a highly controlled, pre-selected audience.

Such control-freak antics may work in the virtual one-party state that now prevails in Washington. But in Canada we have a residual belief that politicians should be subject to a few checks and balances, an idea that your country once espoused before the days of empire.

If you want to have us consider your proposals and positions, present them in a proper way, through serious discussion across the table in our cabinet room, as your previous president did when he visited Ottawa. And don't embarrass our prime minister by lobbing a verbal missile at him while he sits on a public stage, with no chance to respond.

Now, I understand that there may have been some miscalculations in Washington based on faulty advice from your resident governor of the "northern territories," Ambassador Cellucci. But you should know by now that he hasn't really won the hearts and minds of most Canadians through his attempts to browbeat and command our allegiance to U.S. policies. Sadly, Mr. Cellucci has been far too closeted with exclusive groups of 'experts' from Calgary think-tanks and neo-con lobbyists at cross-border conferences to remotely grasp a cross-section of Canadian attitudes (nor American ones, for that matter).

I invite you to expand the narrow perspective that seems to inform your opinions of Canada by ranging far wider in your reach of contacts and discussions. You would find that what is rising in Canada is not so much anti-Americanism, as claimed by your and our right-wing commentators, but fundamental disagreements with certain policies of your government. You would see that rather than just reacting to events by drawing on old conventional wisdoms, many Canadians are trying to think our way through to some ideas that can be helpful in building a more secure world.

These Canadians believe that security can be achieved through well-modulated efforts to protect the rights of people, not just nation-states.

To encourage and advance international co-operation on managing the risk of climate change, they believe that we need agreements like Kyoto.

To protect people against international crimes like genocide and ethnic cleansing, they support new institutions like the International Criminal Court -- which, by the way, you might strongly consider using to hold accountable those committing atrocities today in Darfur, Sudan.

And these Canadians believe that the United Nations should indeed be reformed -- beginning with an agreement to get rid of the veto held by the major powers over humanitarian interventions to stop violence and predatory practices.

On this score, you might want to explore the concept of the 'Responsibility to Protect' while you're in Ottawa. It's a Canadian idea born out of the recent experience of Kosovo and informed by the many horrific examples of inhumanity over the last half-century. Many Canadians feel it has a lot more relevance to providing real human security in the world than missile defence ever will.

This is not just some quirky notion concocted in our long winter nights, by the way. It seems to have appeal for many in your own country, if not the editorialists at the Wall Street Journal or Rush Limbaugh. As I discovered recently while giving a series of lectures in southern California, there is keen interest in how the U.S. can offer real leadership in managing global challenges of disease, natural calamities and conflict, other than by military means.

There is also a very strong awareness on both sides of the border of how vital Canada is to the U.S. as a partner in North America. We supply copious amounts of oil and natural gas to your country, our respective trade is the world's largest in volume, and we are increasingly bound together by common concerns over depletion of resources, especially very scarce fresh water. Why not discuss these issues with Canadians who understand them, and seek out ways to better cooperate in areas where we agree -- and agree to respect each other's views when we disagree.

Above all, ignore the Cassandras who deride the state of our relations because of one missile-defence decision. Accept that, as a friend on your border, we will offer a different, independent point of view. And that there are times when truth must speak to power.


In friendship,

Lloyd Axworthy
