Thank you.
Would you show a video of Canadian traditional music with Asian-Canadian musicians?
I think there was a Portuguese immigration in Hawaii, and ukulele was derived from a small Portuguese guitar.
Thank you.

Sorry, no, as I don't have the time or interest to invest in that, and I don't do videos anyway. But you shouldn't have any trouble researching online for such things yourself if you care to invest your own time and interest in it.

I asked you because I suppose you know more of Canada than I do, and I didn't find any videos with those characteristics. Thanks anyway.
I don't suddenly see 70 percent of the population of Canada being populated by those so against what Canada stands for. ( our immigration policies don't allow that many in ) Even the very small minority of those new immigrants opposed to certain rights, quickly find out that their views go against the law of the land. You must also must understand that gay rights have been entrenched in Canadian law years before the US. Not just equal marriage but adoption and accepting gays in the military. In others words, it's not so new to us.
I know from experience that some asian immigrants against LGBTQ2 rights came from societies that had our 1950's views. They learn. Especially parents of LGBTQ2 children soon find out that Canadian society, for the vast part, does not reject them. Which is a parents greatest fear.
I am kind of in the middle on this one. I don't think immigrants will change Canada's values overnight but I think it's overly assumptive to believe that immigrants and their children and grandchildren born and raised in Canada will inevitably adopt mellower Canadian values simply by virtue of living here.
Communities that have critical mass and low rates of marriage outside the group can certainly preserve a strong and parallel values system over multiple generations.
In terms of the racial aspect that is the crux of the OP, in order for that to happen we'd need to see very low rates of inter-marriage (with other groups) on the part of Asian-Canadians. I don't think we're really seeing that on a large scale, though there are exceptions with some groups - chiefly for religious or cultural reasons as opposed to racial ones, though.

I see no evidence of that. I grew up surrounded by immigrant families and their children did not adopt their parents attitudes, far from it. They usually made efforts to distance themselves from " old country " ways.
You also have to agree that it's impossible for these children to exist in a bubble. Media, social media, school, interactions with other Canadians have a major role to play in creating who they are.
Economically Canada cannot survive without its immigration. There is a low birth rate in the country so there would be little growth without immigration. The reason most of it is from Asia because that's the most populated part of the earth and also many people looking to escape war-torn countries from that area and looking for a new life.

According to what I have read online, Asians in Canada are some of the least likely to marry outside of their own ethnic group.
