I don't know when Boddhisatva was last in Canada,
but at least here in Winnipeg, the percentate of aboriginal
peoples in population is approximately equal to the percentage
of blacks in the american population -- and this does not include
the peoples of east asian origin -- Filipinos, Vietnamese, Chinese --
nor the admittedly much smaller percentages of East and West Indians,
African and Latinos, none of which would be classified as he does as
'white'. Indeed, in recent years the majority of immigrants to
Canada has been 'non-European' while the highest fertility rate
in the country has been among the aboriginals. So don't give us
any of this guff about 'white Canada'.
