Corporate culture has to be a part of this, even if not 100%. The world moves at this speed, we have this many people in urban areas compared to rural. All the education and work is in cities with advanced learning institutions everywhere. Yes they are Canadian but it's not just others and outsiders have to adapt to society, Canadians have to continually adapt to it's own ever-changing society. Look how much upgrading we do in our own jobs.
So again, if a group like aboriginals, or teenagers, or immigrants or oilers fans or any group falls behind, what programs are there?

Residential school were in full force 40 years ago and didn't end until 1996. So no we have not been accepting of indigenous culture over the last 40 years.
It's also going to take a lot longer than 40 years to undo the centuries of abuse.
