Not all of Canada is bad

Submitted by Jimmie (United States), Feb 1, 2003 at 02:40

I myself have spent in the course of my young life several months in Canada and I have learned one thing about its society. For the most part, you will see a vast majority of the hate on the eastern half of Canada; they are far more open on the western half, whether this is true of the academic establishments, I really don't know.

For all this I think you have to give Wahhabism (form of ISLAM practiced in Saudi Arabia) a real big cookie for its infiltration into North American campus society and closing off a lot of the traditional openness that used to find its haven in our colledges and universities.

But then again I'm only 21; what do I really know about the way the world works? Not much, just what I see with my own eyes. And what is see is far more scary then I believe, what anyone realizes.
