Hooray for pluralism.
I too am fed up with the word "multiculturalism".
The word "pluralism" seems so much more polite and diplomatic, less problematic.

"One, while Canada still has much work to do in building a more inclusive society, our diversity is a strength and a comparative advantage in the world."
   We are being programmed to take for granted this "diversity is our strength" mantra.
   But I'm skeptical.  The accepted conventional wisdom is that the Scandinavian nations have the best quality of life because of their homogeneity. Their  equality, community, unity, prosperity, generosity, and standard of living derives from homogeneity, not diversity.Is the G & M afraid to publish an article articulating just how diversity is our strength?
