Multiculturalism in Canada
Canada is often described as a multicultural nation. But what does that mean? Simply stated, it means that Canadians are not of any one cultural background, race or heritage. Instead, Canadians today reflect a vast diversity of cultural heritages and racial groups. This multicultural diversity is a result of centuries of immigration.

Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of Canadian society. It is woven into the very fabric of Canadian life. Our society has always been pluralist and diverse and is bound to become even more so. Already approximately two-fifths of the Canadian population has one origin other than British, French or Aboriginal.

The Myths and Facts of Multiculturalism
Myth - Because of multiculturalism, people think of themselves as members of their native countries first and as Canadians second. - When people come to Canada they should adopt our way of doing things. Why do we always have to change for them?

The History of Racism in Canada
"Canada has a long history of hate-motivated violence towards racial or ethnic minorities. For example, in 1907 in Vancouver, a mob of whites attacked the Chinese and Japanese communities, causing at least extensive damage to stores and, it was claimed by one report, "several fatalities". During World War II, members of the Japanese Canadian community were interned and their property confiscated. In the 1970s, a series of subway attacks against members of the South Asian community in Toronto helped to result in creation of a task force to study that problem..."

The Avro Arrow: Canada's Broken Dream
It's the closest thing Canadian industry has to a love story and a murder mystery. The Avro Arrow, a sleek white jet interceptor developed in Malton, Ontario in the 1950s, could have been many things. It might have become the fastest plane in the world, our best defence against Soviet bombers, the catalyst to propel Canada to the forefront of the aviation industry. Instead, it became a $400-million pile of scrap metal, and the stuff of legends.

the Canadian national total debt
It took the media quite a few years before they came off the topic that the federal government wanted them to concentrate on, the annual budget deficit. In about 1991 the media began to become concerned about the accumulated budget deficit, a.k.a, the total direct debt. It is therefore welcome news to the federal government that the media still have not quite caught on to the game the federal government is playing. That is that in addition to direct federal debt, the taxpayers have to pay as well for unfunded liabilities, such as funds that we should all expect to be in government programs to secure for instance the CPP (Canada Pension Plan), OAS (Old Age Security), Health Care and E.I. (Employment Insurance), so as to secure any claims that are being or will be made against those social safety nets.

Canadian Republic
Presently, Canada is a constitutional monarchy. It shares its unelected, hereditary head of state, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, with that country and fourteen other former British colonies. In Canada, the Governor General is the representative of the Queen and acts in her name on the advice of Parliament. The Prime Minister is the head of government. (...) Ideally, the issue of the monarchy should be dealt with immediately and on a constitutional level. Citizens for a Canadian Republic will continue to work toward that objective. However, Canadian republicans have to be realistic. Many Canadians do feel a close attachment to the Queen herself but very little for her successor or, for that matter, the monarchy itself as an institution. Therefore, one would assume that any practical goal to Canadianize our head of state, outside of any unusual circumstance, would have to be based on the likelihood of it being implemented at the end of the current Queen’s reign.

A republican news resource for Canadians by Canadians
Canada has evolved into a multicultural society. A number of these heritages share a strained history with the Monarchy. We are especially concerned with the negative impact our currency imposes on Quebec. Does the monarchy truly represent the common spirit of our country? Canada has produced many notable people who we could feature on our coins and bank notes. Our country deserves shareable imagery.
