Canada has one of the highest number of immigrant flows from various ethno-cultural backgrounds across the world. The consensus around Canada’s immigration system has remained largely positive because immigration is viewed as beneficial to both the economy and society at large. The Canadian Multiculturalism Act is an ambitious piece of legislation which has not been repeated anywhere else in the world. It allows Canada to recognize different cultures by accepting cultural differences as part of a broad national identity. However commentators have challenged the notion that Canada is indeed a country of equal and peacefully coexisting communities by questioning the very foundations of Canadian diversity. In this episode we explore whether multicultural legislation does indeed represent equality and inclusivity. Or does it stem from a desire to manage and manipulate the concept of diversity for political purpose? We also examine whether real progress has been made in a post-colonial age.
