"Here is the mosaic..."

"...where, as a friend reminded me yesterday, years ago Greeks celebrated when Greece beat Canada at basketball, where this spring, protesting Tamils blocked a street full of hospitals in Toronto to criticize our country, where a couple of years ago, Toronto Police bragged of not uttering 'the M word' (Muslim) at a press conference held to announce the arrests of a group of young Muslim-Canadian men charged in a terror plot."

"'Here is the clash that the great Canadian tolerance is faced with,' my friend wrote. 'Here we tolerate a partial and some would say a negligible assimilation or even acceptance of our Canadian norms, beliefs, fundamental principles.'"
