I think hyphens divide, period. Immigrants can be anything they want to call themselves. We anticipate Syrians now coming to our community will become Canadian citizens, swear allegiance to the country, respect our values---as others have, in the same way the homeless and displaced built the US into an intellectual and industrial powerhouse, literally a nation of immigrants. Canada isn't judged by its colour now nor will it be in 25 years when a majority of people of colour will make the laws, just as it will in the US. Multiculturalism.
