"Canada is not a Country, it's a Refugee Camp!": says a small immigrantchild

Photo : Bedford School has two levels, elementary and secondary and is located at 3131 Goyer Street, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3S 1H7. I have lived on Goyer Street for three years now; and there has never been a Canadian flag in front of Bedford School. I took this photo on 17 May 2012.

Sometimes, between vaccinated and emancipated adults, one gets lost in sterile debates on the things of life. However, the most complicated questions often have simple answers!
If I could, I would tape record all my daily conversations in my car with my daughters. On the way to drop off the little one at daycare, and the eldest at school, I undergo a merciless interrogation which turns out to be revealing. The same thing happens on the way home, at the end of the afternoon.
Often, I have the feeling that I have discovered the world around us after these spiritual excursions. And, make no mistake, in my time, I have had some byzantine discussions. For, my favorite hobby is those interminable jousts till dawn with my pals; discussions with all kinds of debaters, from the left and from the right, including the farthest-out extremists!
And here, on this Monday morning of September 17th, 2012, I would have expected anything but a discussion with one of my daughters, you see, on the correlation between a language and a country!
While skirting Acadie Boulevard heading south, my oldest daughter assails me:
- Dad, why is "Quebec" written on the license plates of the cars?
- Because we live in Quebec. In fact, we live in the City of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in Canada, the country.
- Oh, good! Canada is a country?
- Well, yes. Canada is a country formed of 10 provinces, one of which is Quebec!
- Well, I thought Canada was a refugee camp!
- Why?
- Because all the languages of the world are spoken here!
- Why do you say that?
- In France, they speak French. In Morocco, they speak Arabic. Here, when I see people speaking all these languages, I thought it was a refugee camp.
- And how long have you thought that?
- Since nursery school. It's the same now, at school.
- Because at nursery school, your friends speak many languages?
- Yes. And at nursery school, we had the flags of many countries in our room!
I was speechless! I wanted to start to explain, but I was floored. There was no question of plunging into an umpteenth Byzantine debate. I had to think this over.
After dropping off my girls, I headed for Radio-Canada (CBC) to take part in a round-table discussion on Catherine Perrin's show, Médium Large. In evading the bumper-to-bumper hell on Saint-Denis Street, I was caught along Berri South in one of those enormous speed-traps which crisscross the Plateau with a maze of obstacles.
The slowdown allowed me to contemplate the passers-by, and the infinitely diminishing cyclists ranged on and on like those eternal orange cones.
Perplexed, I reviewed in my mind the exchange I had had earlier with my youngest daughter. This tyke, who is barely seven and only in grade two, had opened my eyes to the flagrant reality. A language equals a country!

Nota bene: In 1986, Canada's then Governor General, Jeanne-Mathile Sauvé, accepted on behalf of the 'People of Canada' the Nansen Medal, a prestigious international humanitarian award in recognition of major and sustained efforts on behalf of refugees. This was the first time since the medal's inception in 1954 that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees presented it to an entire population. The Nansen Medal is kept at Rideau Hall.
And now, on 20 September 2012, the child of a refugee thinks that Canada is not a country, but a refugee camp.
Has Canadian generosity gone so far overboard that the Canadian people have sacrificed their own culture and identity to become the world's foremost refugee intake valve?
