在世界大部分地区，特别是在欧洲，人们普遍认为多元文化主义已经失败，加拿大也未能幸免于这些日益加剧的全球焦虑。一些评论家认为，自鸣得意的自满情绪正在蒙蔽加拿大人，使他们看不到越来越多的证据表明，他们国家的种族关系存在压力和失败。在这篇文章中，我们将探讨这一不断演变的争论。我们简要回顾了全球对多元文化主义的反弹，以及为什么一些评论家在加拿大也看到了警告信号。然后，我们看看在加拿大的多元文化政策如何运作的证据，以及在移民融合和种族关系的趋势。我们表明，确实有压力和压力，在加拿大的多元文化，与真实的问题，需要认真关注。但是，如果我们通过欧洲辩论的透镜来阅读加拿大的经验，我们就会误诊问题及其补救措施。
In much of the world, and particularly in Europe, there is a widespread perception that multiculturalism has failed, and Canada has not been immune to these rising global anxieties. A number of commentators have argued that smug complacency is blinding Canadians to growing evidence of stresses and failures in ethnic relations in their country. In this article, we explore this evolving debate. We briefly review the global backlash against multiculturalism, and why some commentators see warning signs in Canada as well. We then look at the evidence about how the multiculturalism policy in Canada operates, and about trends in immigrant integration and ethnic relations. We show that there are indeed stresses and strains within Canadian multiculturalism, with real issues that require serious attention. But we misdiagnose the problems, and their remedies, if we read the Canadian experience through the lens of the European debate.
