Quote from a great Canadian

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here 
in good faith  becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us,
he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man 
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet 
a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian...
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, 
isn't a Canadian at all.
We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is 
a loyalty to the Canadian people.'

Wilfrid Laurier 1907

To that I would my own version of the same sentiment:

This is my country.
It is a country that respects individual rights
It is country in which EVERYONE is equal, in rights and importance.
It is a country in which EVERYONE has the freedom to practice their beliefs.
It is also a place where EVERYONE has the right to freedom FROM religion and religious belief.
It means that I will respect your right to disagree with those values,
but not the right to change them.
This is the lifestyle we practice in my country,
and if you feel impelled to impose contrary religious, cultural or political values on my country, then, I invite you to go back to your home, for this is not it.
And to those citizens of my country who would, in the name of political correctness,
give away or compromise the rights and freedoms we have achieved, I invite you to go with them.
