Hi Fahad Pasha,
It is really nice to hear that you are a Canadian of Pakistan Origin. Your views are definitely realistic and practical. I disagree that we are expecting too much. In fact it is all about sincerity and commitment with ourselves. There are so many things that we can do easily and does not require rocket science. Fortunately I have hundreds of friends in Toronto and I donât have even a single day when I donât talk to friends in Canada. So I have some update knowledge what is happening in Canada. You know that the standards normally Canadian have for their leaders are quite different from an ordinary man. I am not sure to what extend it is correct, but my friend told me that a Toronto mayor candidate had to go out of the race just because he had a girl friend. Minister Transportation has to resign because he had some holdings in a company that he did not disclosed, Finance Minister of Ontario had to resign just because there were tax evasion charges, and he was restored when charged were removed, a sikh parliamentarian was suspended just because she was charged by a nanny that she was under paid and over worked, which subsequently proved incorrect. Canada is a true welfare state. I donât expect that level of transparency in systems and welfare for its citizens.
At least we can set some moral standards and social habits in Pakistan. We choose our leaders, the leaders we know very well that they are corrupt. We have immense natural resources, work force of 160 million people, what else do we need? Stopping on traffic signals, making queues, meeting appointments, going to bed and wake up early, etc are not thing that need resources to do so. In fact, we need to change our habits. You know that in Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan and America, 70% people go to bad before 10 pm and get up 5.00 am. What we are doing, playing Dubbo, snooker, or sitting at Cafe Piyala for nothing till 2.00 am in the morning and going to office and job, with heavy eyes, holding marriage ceremonies till 3.00 am, I think I never witnessed in any part of the world to have any ceremony after 9.00 pm. Does it happen in Canada? Does it need resources to change these social habits? I am sure your answer would be NO.
So I hope that I am not expecting more from my nation.
Regards,
GREAT KHANS
