    How does it make me sound like a bigot? I’ve got other comments in this discussion expanding my thought about multiculturalism and what it l leads to.

      I read your other comments and I’m struggling to understand your point on multiculturalism.

      Saying multiculturalism isn’t a thing in Quebec is false. There’s such a great mix of cultures here that all integrated so well into our society. I couldn’t imagine Québec’s culture without the Haitian or Vietnamese diaspora for example. And we can’t deny the influence of the Irish and Scottish culture in our own, especially food and music wise. Or that of the First Nations with their myths and legends and general knowledge of nature and survival here. And obviously, the French.

      Québec’s culture is a melting pot of cultures that turned into its own thing. It’s the best example of what multiculturalism should be. Unlike Canada and it’s “post-nationalism”.

        That’s interculturalism, people of different origins integrating to the local culture.

          Ah ok. I see what you mean now.

          I went to see what the difference is and I understand your point.

            All good and I know a lot of people in Canada don’t understand the difference and think that Quebec just doesn’t want immigrants…
