That doesn't actually address my point. If those foreigners didn't assimilate, why should I expect other foreigners to assimilate?
Why should recent immigrants have to assimilate more than the original cohort of uninvited guests ever bothered to?
If the descendents of those uninvited guests don't like the nation changing they're always welcome to leave, they don't have to live here.

I was born here love, that makes me just as much a native as anyone else. And may I remind you the British won, this was not the first and certainly not the last time a land has been invaded. But you may be right to think that what is happening right now with mass migration is karma for what happened a few hundred years ago I am not denying that. But the fact is that we are all here now and we need to get along.
Being born here makes you a Canadian citizen, but it doesn’t make you Indigenous.
Oh, interesting how the British won a few hundred years ago and since people are here we’re all supposed to get along how you say we should by assimilating to British colonizer social customs instead of accepting that the population here continues to evolve and include many newcomers who are about as far from being British as possible, who also bring their own social customs and so on.
Interesting indeed.
Maybe some people need to hear the message in win/loss terms: British descendants are losing/have lost. Now Canadian social customs are those of newcomers of a variety of backgrounds. Remaining descendants of British colonizers should respectfully assimilate to Canadian ways.

Well if colonizing Canada was such a bad thing then why are we bringing more people over? Haven't the native Indians gone through enough with just white Europeans? I worked with a native guy for a little while and he could not stand immigrants. He said having white people around is bad enough.

Do you really think that some of the worlds most prime real estate (natural resources, climate) is going to be left largely uninhabited?
Or you were just hoping the flow of people into Canada would somehow magically stop at white people ?

What are more recent immigrants going to do that Anglos haven't already?
It wasn't Punjabis or Chinese or Nigerians who sought to ethnically cleanse this continent, they're all peoples with their own legitimate concerns regarding British imperialism. I'm sorry your coworker was too ignorant to understand that, but most native people don't share his attitude.
