No lorne, Canada is a mosiac! Canada is one of the most multi-cultural and tolerant societies in the world, with virtually every cultural and ethnic community. But the gift of that "multi-cultural and tolerant societies" is the gift of the formerly predominant culture of Canada. And that is the culture we face losing because of the demands of the very cultural communities we brought here. As each culture tries to enshrine their culture with more and more rights, other cultures want more and more. If you recall most Multicultural events were paid for by the cultural communities rather than by the greater communities, That is changing. Look at that huge money loser Caribana, it should be paid for by the communities represented, not out of taxpayers dollars. Instead it consumes more and more money that should be for health care or feeding the hungry, so that people can celebrate culture.
