Obviously it's not perfect. Every country has bigots and backwards ass people, but in Canada, the number of those types of people is probably smaller then any where else in the world.
Of course not, because what happens in Canada isn't forcing people to assimilate and wouldn't in any solution that involves the First Nations. He is using the wrong word, and it is making his argument completely invalid. I thought my pictorial reference made that clear.

For the record, I think the word he wants to be using, is integration. Like you said, we encourage multiculturalism by integrating cultures into our own, we don't assimilate them.
