@sunny: This isn’t about abandoning where you came from. Canada works because people from everywhere bring their culture, family values, food, faith, and traditions—while also learning how to live respectfully beside people who may do things differently. Most newcomers want exactly that. A small number of bad moments should not define an entire community, but pretending they never happen doesn’t help either. Respect is built in the little things: how we treat neighbours, coworkers, public spaces, and each other. We can be proud of being Indian and proud to call Canada home at the same time.
