It means the Trudeau-ian model of a top-down, government created multiculturalism is an embarassing failure. If the children of immigrants feel more disconnected from Canadian society, there is obviously a problem.
I don't think that means that multiculturalism is bad in anyway. The concept embodies what democracy truly means. However, a multicultural movement that takes place and begins in the attitudes of everyday Canadians is needed for meaningful future change.
