I love that multiculturalism is enshrined at the federal level. Our culture is in a continual state of flux and it's richer for all the influences, customs, and traditions bring here. That's always been how Canada has worked. The idea that now the culture must stay as it is strikes me as misguided, intolerant and smacks of entitlement.

^This comes the closest to encapsulating my own viewpoint, except that I also believe that some cultural communities should have some leeway on promoting/protecting what makes them distinct (Quebec, First Nations, etc.). Perhaps there is a contradiction here? To which I say, so what.
