text: Since I came to Canada, and on the very rare occasions when I wear my kilt (never when expecting to be receiving public services) I always wear underwear, since I realised that going commando is not acceptable in this country - of course it is also quite cold in this country which is an added inducement. Nor do I continue the ancient Scottish practice of carrying a dirk (traditional Scottish dagger) in my sock - I realise that in these days it would be a concern to others and to the security folks in particular. Lastly, I seldom practice the bagpipes, since some of the neighbours may not appreciate the magical sound that they make. 
  Is it not time that immigrants from other backgrounds should make similar adjustments to fit in with modern Canadian society - if for no other reason than to show respect to our First Nations citizens who are probably the only ones who have the right to flaunt their traditions and who do so only on ceremonial occasions. 
  Pease make an effort to fit in.
