Abstract

It is often believed that Canada is able to "manage" its diverse society to the extent that it is cited as a model for other countries to follow. The main reason for this perception is that Canada is one of the very few countries to have legislated multiculturalism. Diversity and multiculturalism have, however, become sharply contested issues in Canadian society today as many people perceive them to be a threat to their traditional way of life. Moreover, this paper suggests that multiculturalism has, in fact, failed to control racism against ethno-racial minorities and that a stronger "radical" or "critical" multiculturalism is required for Canada to become an exemplar for other nations.
