as cousins to the pagan traditions that made europe great before and after the temporary catastrophe of christianization, i actually think that buddhists and hindus have more to offer canada than other ethnic groups. hindus and buddhists are more likely to assimilate into western culture than muslims or sikhs and are a preferable source of immigration to canada for that reason.

i'm once again not aligned with the fake leftism on display by the trudeau government, which has a strange obsession with islam, which is the most regressive, most right-wing and most conservative religion on the table. it indicates that this government is mostly concerned with dominance and control.

any real secular left would see buddhists (more so than hindus) as allies and muslims as enemies.
