The root cause of this conflict is a self inflicted one: institutional multiculturalism.  The great thinkers who in the late 1960s gave us this absurd societal framework completely ignored the desire of a grass root population to retain its values and traditions. The  thinkers also did not think of any practical means for  the integration of new Canadians . Here we are 50 years later. Multicultural Canada has now established itself in the minds of newcomers as a free for all country where one can live happily  in complete abstraction to the root society which is welcoming them.

 I would suggest that the time has come for the political class to take a hard look at multiculturalism. It never worked anywhere. David Cameron called it a failure, Angela Merkel a fraud.  In Canada, the time has come  indeed for  a second B&B commission.
