We're in the middle of definitely one of the heaviest snowfalls of the 25/26 season-quite likely 'the' heaviest unless it stops soon..lol could be 20cm-ish already, maybe heading to 30-40cm. Not major by standards of wetter climates, but a lot for us and of course it will be wetter/heavier than our usual dry winter powder.. We were in the mid teens C a few days ago (50-60F) and will be again in a couple of days...lol

I am not saying that Canada is perfect, as it doesn't face the same challenges that Germany faces with regards to migration and multi-culturalism. But I think that Germany can take a page from Canada's policy for a successful culturally plural society.

To paraphrase John W. Berry, many European countries who say that multiculturalism doesn't work and that integration fails just haven't tried. For a society to be successfully multicultural, it needs to have spaces for the culturally 'other' to participate. In the case of Germany, they don't. The many refugee and asylum seekers are stuck in a limbo state where they cannot work, cannot contribute and cannot learn.
