"Over four decades, incredibly rapid demographic change has transformed Canada, especially its largest cities. In Europe, similar change has resulted in riots and cultural tensions that have tarnished the concept of multiculturalism there. But, in Canada, these changes, despite many challenges, happened peacefully, productively and positively. Multiculturalism was part of the solution, not the problem." |

but it kind of seems like she defines "multiculturalism" as "culture(/race/ethnicity) based government programs and entitlements" and "the problem" as "people from different cultures living in close proximity resulting in riots such as in the case of germany" :\ |

I think you're using the word "entitlements" to suggest shoveling welfare money at immigrants to appease them. But this is wrong. The article talks about government policies and initiatives to make immigrants to Canada feel welcome and integrate as citizens. That's why we can have "people from different cultures living in close proximity" but without riots. > Social scientists can measure multiculturalism in a given society by examining the number and content of public policies and government pronouncements around cultural recognition and accommodation. Such indices show that Germany is not, and has never been, a multicultural society. > My research points to multiculturalism as a key factor driving Canada's success at citizenship integration. It legitimates diversity, provides a sense of inclusion and, through the multitude of (oft-maligned) government grants given to community-based organizations - not only for multiculturalism but also for a host of integration programs - it provides the support structures to help newcomers join the country as full citizens. |
