Canadian multiculturalism: The more the merrier | The Economist

A reminder that internationally Canada is largely doing well on integration and multiculturalism, with Quebec perhaps the exception:

Canada’s multiculturalism is not perfect. There have been rows over whether a Sikh Mountie can wear a turban or whether Muslim women can cover their faces in court. A Toronto university student sparked a furore this month by asking to be excused from group work with female students for religious reasons. The hearings in Quebec threaten to be long and acrimonious. But Canada has largely drawn the sting of a poisonous subject.
