The wheels are falling off Canada’s diversity bus
Ethnocultural diversity is a prominent concern for businesses, educational institutions and governments nationwide. Canada chose the path to be a multicultural nation in 1971 when prime minister Pierre Trudeau introduced policies that promoted the inclusion of diverse perspectives and contributions while honouring Canadians’ unique differences. This commitment to diversity was enshrined within the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, and in 1987 Canada took a groundbreaking step by passing the Multicultural Act.
Fast forward to 2023, and the message from the federal government remains consistent, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently affirmed, “We’re a place that does diversity better than just about anywhere else.”
… Perhaps as a society, we haven’t fully embraced this vision. In our survey, we shared a list of nine values and asked Canadians to tell us how strongly they associated each one as a core value of being Canadian. Four values — democracy, freedom of speech, Canada’s social safety net, and equality of genders — were strongly associated with by a small majority of respondents. Is it concerning that multiculturalism and tolerance for different religious faiths took the bottom two spots on the list?
Canadians are rebelling at being force fed the slow poisons of multiculturalism and diversity but for some reason the article fails to mention the negative impact mass immigration is having on Canadian society.
This piece is written by the Leger people so perhaps that explains it, gotta keep those government contracts comin so don’t mention immigration.
