From wiki: "However, by the late 1970s, the abolition of the so-called 'White Australia Policy' had led to a significant increase in immigration from Asian and other non-European countries."

"Actual immigration patterns under the Howard Government 1996-2007

Australia accepted 87,000 immigrants in 1994-95,[7] the last financial year before the Howard Government was elected.[8] Planned immigrant intake was reduced to 68,000 following the election of John Howard in 1996.[9][10]

In 2004-05, Australia accepted 123,000 new settlers,[11] a 40 per cent increase over the past 10 years. The largest number of immigrants (40,000 in 2004/05) moved to Sydney. The majority of immigrants came from Asia, led by China and India."

$1:

Canada has 34 ethnic groups with at least one hundred thousand members each, of which 10 have over 1,000,000 people and numerous others represented in smaller amounts

Mind you, the Canadian pictogram is 9 year old data. Census 2011 should bring out some fun results.

That's 260k input annually, that's 2.34m people more since. Significantly more varied than Australia.

Mind you, I'm not knocking Australia, I just think all this praise of how everything is great there and how we have it cold and shit here is just red herring.

Australia isn't handling its new found multi-racial-ness well at all.

Canada is head + shoulders ahead in terms of social progress and cohesiveness.

Harper has screwed himself... people are sick of the autocratic asshole

Harper loves all Canadians, even you.

Also, as for the thread, this is only the opinion of a few Brit journalists and not their entire population.
