Multiculturalism

In class this week we learned about Canada's rich and diverse culture. The main point we learned was the deffinition to the word Multiculturalsim. Multiculturalsim is the acptance of different types of cultures and group that take up residence in a certian area. I dont know the original statistic, but Canada has over a hundred different cultures that are residing in Canada. What Multiculturalism is in my own opion is the country wide reconation in documental form, that says all different cultures and ethinicities that take residents in Canada are to be treated equally. I find that the idea behind Muliculturlism is a good one in essence, but the term Multiculturalism might be put to much pressure on the government to support each group equally, and in fact might make the country of Canada look like it had a problem with discrimiating certian groups, so the government of Canada had to put in a legal statue or rule to stop discrimantion of these diverse groups. I find that the way the U.S. stated in their consititution that all people would be treated equal was perfect.
