Reducing the value of Canadian citizenship to a cheap pair of stolen earrings is a stealthy way to force ethnic and social diversity on Canadians. The project begun decades earlier by Trudeau and to a lesser extent Pearson, was a bold attempt to dismantle the old White Anglo Saxon Protestant hegemony and ‘privilege’ in Canadian society. Who cares if it was the WASPs who built this country from nothing? Mulroney followed Trudeau’s lead and brought in the Canadian Multiculturalism Act to bear on the country back in the late 80s. Likewise Trudeau 2.0 will assuredly have a prominent position reserved for him at the UN for his role once his Canadian gig is done. Stephen Lewis would be proud.
