To say I’m proud to be Canadian would be an understatement. Sure there are many things I find questionable about our personal and international politics, however my favourite piece of the pie has to be how multiculturalism has affected our historical landscape as a nation. 🇨🇦 . “Multiculturalism exists when people accept and encourage many cultures to thrive in a society. Multiculturalism can lead to many great outcomes, including racial and ethnic harmony, which simply means that people from different backgrounds get along well together. Living with and accepting different cultures helps us understand each other and discourage hatred and violence. Canada officially became a multicultural society in 1971 when the government began to recognize the value and dignity of Canadians of all races and ethnic groups, all languages and all religions.” . ☝🏽This 🤟🏽In some instances, it is pluralism at its finest, that we learn and welcome in the best of what each other’s cultures have to offer. Why I love roti and curry, pho, empanadas, jerk, har gow, fondue, ramen - and most importantly the cultural traditions that surround these foods so that I can share them with my friends and family too. . This is beauty at the everyday level. Diversity makes us stronger, more beautiful and more alive. 🇨🇦 .
