Telegraph.co.uk: Rachel Marsden: Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Olympics are peddling a politically correct fantasy

Forget the 2016 Rio Olympics – there’s a more pressing issue to address: Who is fighting to ensure that the immigrants of European descent are adequately represented at next year’s Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games?

I’m talking about the people who can be credited for turning the city from a giant wilderness into the budding metropolis of today. The place, and indeed the whole of my country, Canada, was pretty third-worldish until the English, French, and various other Europeans arrived and started planning and building infrastructure and government, and teaching the natives discipline, order, and capitalism. Canada or the USA without European immigrants would look somewhat like Africa.

It’s no coincidence that the best countries in the world are either European or founded by Europeans. Everywhere they go, European immigrants make things better – until they’re asked to leave, at which point everything usually descends back into chaos. Not that they ever get any thanks for it.

There’s more! Ugh. And the comments aren’t much better.

    Does this mean that rachel marsden will stay the F out of the US from here on out? Please say yes. You know she’s the jerk that Jimmy Wales had a crazy fling with a year or so ago. She’s so ridiculous.
