Globe editor-in-chief shares his views of Canadian pluralism and how it has evolved – The Globe and Mail

Good overview that the challenges to Canadian multiculturalism remain the longer-term overall challenges in healthcare, education, labour, and citizenship. Strong inclusion and participation themes.

The overview also highlights some of the different levels of success of  different communities. None of this is terribly new or insightful; the challenge is developing effective programs and policies to reduce the gaps, while exercising policy modesty in the ability of government to address all the issues involved. For an analysis of these differences, see either Evidence or Anecdote chapter in Policy Arrogance or Innocent Bias: Resetting Citizenship and Multiculturalism, or the excerpt in Inside Policy November 2013 (page 30).
