Weekend Letters: It’s time for Canada to get over its multicultural smugness


Re: Our Kind Of Multiculturalism, editorial, Oct. 21.

For years Canadians have looked down on the American “melting pot” with smug and self-righteous disdain, believing our mosaic, or community of communities, or whatever, was superior. In view of this editorial and Angela Merkel’s admission that “multikulti” hasn’t worked in Germany, will we Canadians now eat humble pie and admit that, whatever Trudeau might have said, the forces of assimilation take their own course, as evidenced by the election of Naheed Nenshi as Mayor of Calgary?

We will melt in the pot even if the politicians and the politically correct keep trying to put out the fire.
