In 1988, multiculturalism became official policy in Canada. The path to the establishment of the Multiculturalism Act began in the year 1971. It was a mere eight months after Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau met with China’s Mao Tse Tung that the Liberal government of the day forced multicultural ideology upon society.
As it happens– despite media obfuscation– 2021 marks the 50th year anniversary of Canadian multiculturalism. It would not surprise Cultural Action Party if neither government or media reference this anniversary in any form.
Why not? Because beneath the surface, the outcome of institutionalized diversity is light years away from its original intention. The goal of the policy was to establish an equal playing field within Canada’s increasingly pluralist society.
Just one problem with this–it never occurred. Instead the outcome is two-fold in scope:
— The empowerment of 3rd World Canada and corresponding disempowerment of “Old Stock” Canada. With every year that passes, government, media and multicultural not-for-profit institutions leverage multiculturalism to transfer power away from “traditional” Canada.
— Even more nefarious, diversity in Canada is today a weapon to vilify our Anglophone and Christian communities. The latest incarnation is what government and media call “systemic racism.”
Extracting the politically correct component, what we have here is a tacit branding of Old Stock Canadians as virulent racists, bigots and xenophobes.
What to do? How about we return to the original principle of multiculturalism– equality among Canada’s identifiable communities.
An excellent way to accomplish this is to create equality among Canada’s leading religious holidays. As an example, Christmas is one day, and so is Easter. The Sikh holiday of Vaisakhi is one day. In 2018, the crowd at the Surrey, B.C. celebration numbered somewhere in the area of 400,000 people.

Ramadan is 30 days in length. As a result of government, media and multicultural group promotion, this long-term event surpasses all other religious holidays in terms of exposure and impact.
Considering the duration of Easter and Sikh celebration of Vaisakhi, let’s establish equality among these leading religious celebrations in Canada. To bring Ramadan in-line with the other major celebrations in Canada, it should be transitioned to a one-day celebration.
Fair is fair. Of course, this requires flexibility on the part of religious community leaders. To be blunt, examples of adaptability have not been the strong suit of organizations such as the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
Then again–there’s always a first time.

Truer words have never been spoken, LOVE this. Absolutely 100% we need equality — in ALL things. Old Stock Canadians have been tossed aside for immigrants, special groups, BLM, feminists, LGBTQ, etc. Let’s stop this crap and get back on equal ground where EVERYBODY matters.
Dude, you need to learn to write properly. I doubt you’ve read a single book though, so this is a good start. Maybe try veiling your horrific racism a bit better too. overall D+, see me after class
lol coming from a person who calls themselves “Commie Liberal Scum” CAP will take your words as a compliment!
“branding of Old Stock Canadians as virulent racists, bigots and xenophobes.” I wonder why.
Ramadan isn’t just a 30 day celebration. It’s an annual practice that is commissioned on Muslims where they must work on themselves and increasing in religious learning, practices etc.
It is not just a “celebration” that is stamped on by Canada’s government. It is also a CENTRAL core practice of the religion. One of the 5 pillars. It is not allowed for any muslim to change the religion. We follow it. In your article, you’re asking that muslims change a central core practice, altering the religion altogether.
That goes beyond “flexibility” of religious leaders. It becomes going completely against the religion. And any learned religious leader won’t knowingly go against the religion. The suggestion makes zero sense at all.
The one day celebration makes perfect sense in terms of religious equality in Canada. Your comments simply confirm the theme of the article in that NO FLEXIBILITY exists in 6th century fundamentalism, while Canadians are perpetually called upon to accommodate Justin Trudeau’s chosen community.
