Canadians are generally proud of our multiculturalism policy. It’s become part of our identity. The core objectives are “to recognize and preserve the multicultural heritage of Canadians, encourage the full and equitable participation of people from all backgrounds in society, and combat discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and religion”. Who could argue with that? An increasing number of people who see multiculturalism as promoting “ghettoization”, and detracting from forging a strong, unified Canadian identity. However, there is no doubt that many immigrants and their descendants find comfort and support in their communities while still contributing to the whole.
We’ll discuss whether our multiculturalism policy still meets its objectives, and whether changes are needed.
