Multicultural Issues In Canada

226 Words1 Page

A policy such as multiculturalism is one that can easily be blamed for issues such a segregated racial groups, however, if one looks at the broader scope that is multiculturalism, its intention is to recognize the commonality of us all without judgement and in celebration. The biggest issue that faces multiculturalism is that the policy outlines the way that Canadian’s view multiculturalism, but it does not take into account that Canada, like every other country, is static. It is always changing and adapting, even though the policy remains the same (Alghabra 2013). The biggest problem is that the policy has not adapted even though the country has.

    The language used in the policy also has isolating qualities, allowing people “to identify with their specific group or not (CIC).” This logical fallacy made me rethink my view on multiculturalism. Of course, everyone is entitled to their views and opinions, the multiculturalism act ensures that, but in this case Bissoondath misconstrues what the Act is saying. Exactly how people can take countless interpretations on what the Bible implies, Bissoondath views the Multiculturalism Act as a backwards step towards multiculturalism. Bissoondath argues that we should try not to sequester ourselves into defined groups, but rather unequivocally identify everyone as just

    The Chinese in Canada In his book “The Chinese in Canada,” Peter Li gives an account of how the Chinese faced discrimination in virtually all the sectors of the society. Due to differences in race and culture as well as the fear of the Canadians regarding racial minority, the Chinese had to suffer from formal institutionalization in terms of retraction of citizenship rights, omission from immigration and restrictions in various occupations due to competition. The discrimination against the Chinese was not only systematic, but also legal and rationalized by white superiority over non-whites. Individual racism is different from institutional racism as it involves social institutions, which disqualify the individuals from equal participation on

While Trudeau was firmly against any notion of nationalizing private property, he was politically astute enough to not mention this during the Liberal minority period, as it would have likely give the NDP the reason they needed to bring down Trudeau’s government. Instead, Trudeau concentrated on the most important and longest-lasting, domestic policy during his entire period in office: multiculturalism as an

  • Cultural Mosaic In Canada

    542 Words  | 3 Pages

    When thinking about a unifying system of beliefs for Canada I immediately thought of the idea of a cultural mosaic. To me this phrase represents the Canadian belief that everyone within the country can keep his or her original culture without having to assimilate and be welcomed as an equal within Canadian society, thus creating a ‘mosaic’ of various cultures. At a glance one might think that the idea of a cultural mosaic is an accurate depiction for contemporary Canada. Throughout my time in school this was the defining phrase used when speaking about Canada, especially in relation to other nations. Canada’s legislation seems to reflect a cultural mosaic as well.

    Efforts to make Quebecers feel more at home in Canada through bilingualism and biculturalism: When Francophones began to vocalize their frustration with their situation in Canada, the government of Canada made efforts for Quebecers to feel more comfortable through bilingualism and biculturalism.
