Abstract
t is impossible in a few pages to rebut the many mistaken extrapolations that Abu-Laban and Stasiulis make about my analyses of issues other than those addressed in my original article. Suffice it to say that my thesis is simple. It is that there is such a thing as an ethnic English-Canadian; that one can be an ethnic English-Canadian even if one does not have English or European or Christian background; and that one's ethnicity is rooted in social practice, not in biological ancestry. Ethnicity is a matter of private choice, yet Canada's current public multicultural policy a liberal policy of supporting individuals' private choices of ethnicity has the paradoxical effect of making people of non-European and non-Christian background feel more comfortable in Canada than they might otherwise be.
