Document Summary
Proposed solution (196): equal partnerships between french and english. Immigrant groups and minorities argue for the full acknowledgment of canada"s diversity. Solution: prime minister pierre turdeau opts for an official policy of multiculturalism within a bilingual framework (1971). All citizens can keep their identities; are free to preserve, enhance, share, and take pride in their cultural heritage and have a sense of belonging. The promotion of full equitable participation in all aspects of canadian society, irrespective of ethnic or cultural origins. Doesn"t full acknowledge the critical role racism plays in preventing this vision. Racism is woven into the ideology of multiculturalism through notions of cultural tolerance. It promotes a static and limited notion of culture as fragmented and confined to ethnicity. The 3ds (dining, dress, dance) can be tolerated and willing to be tried out idea of tolerable difference may enter the public sphere.
