Its most "un-canadian" to be sure, but I'm not sure I'd say their nationalism is racist, its simply threatened by Canadian multiculturalism and they don't like that and make no concessions on it.

Most proud cultures would react the same, in fact, many are worse and their cultures aren't even threatened by state multiculturalism, like Japan and Denmark for instance.
