Students should think of this key question To what extent has Canada’s multiculturalism policy been successfully implemented? This means , has Canada honoured there policy within multiculturalism . Have they been accepting of other cultures and being respectful and having a diverse view. Have they been making ethical decisions that benefit people of all different backgrounds? Next is how successful there bilingual policy has been. Do they provide multiple languages on websites, food ,packaging ,list etc ? And are those helpful and do they accommodate different people with different views. For example , during the 19th century indigenous people were discriminated because they were forced to learn a language they did not speak and their native tongue was stripped from them.
