But did I mention that I am part of a worldwide conspiracy to take over the world? It can be plainly seen by everything I have typed in this thread that I am working all out for the degredation of all the triumphs of Muliticulturalism to bring back segregation.
Thus when I say that communities are strengthened when people share commonalities and not differences: its code for concentration camps.
Common good for all: Let loose the dogs of genocide!

I don't really see your point. People already share commonalities..people generally want the same things, a safe society to raise their children, opportunity, health, etc. In fact, no culture doesn't want these things. So what are these cultural "differences" that are so extreme that they hurt our society? The food we eat? The clothes we wear? Is someone wearing a turban going to undermine our culture? Is the traditional way that different cultures perform marriages going to affect the fabric of our culture?
According to you multiculturalism doesn't work..so I'm assuming that means we all need to shed our differences and become a singular people, with a singular vision of what Canadian culture is. Who gets to decide what that vision is? You? The Asian population? The First Nations?
Fact is the cultural differences we have are primarily aesthetic differences. Now if you're talkng about muslims wanting to practice muslim law in Canadian courts, I agree, that shouldn't be allowed. But I don't consider that a flaw of multiculturalism, I consider that part of keeping our legal system and religion separate. I'd feel the same way if it was fundamental christians attempting to influence our legal system, which happens all the time as well.
Canada's definition of multiculturalism has worked, compared with the rest of the world. I don't think any country has pulled it off quite as well as us. Are we perfect? No..but we are dealing with our differences a hell of a lot better than any other example I can think of.
