Some reflections on family values

It wasn't hard to figure out what the family values were in the immigrant family I grew up in.

There weren't any focus groups to draw out the details... you just kinda knew.

You got out of bed in the morning, and went out and did something. If you were a kid, the thing you did was go to school. If you were out of school, you went to work.

Pretty simple!

Over the years, our immigrant family sponsored other immigrant families into Canada, families from Viet Nam and Afghanistan. Near as I can recall, families from those different cultures had pretty much the identical values.

I don't think there's any reason to believe that our latest wave of refugee immigrants will be any different.
