I don't know that this is what Cherry was referring to, because this is not clear from his comments. But even if this was his point, it is still a bad one. Canada's distinction is by design multi-cultural. There should never be any pressure on anyone to adopt our traditions (whatever those are). In fact, I would argue that one of the reasons it is often difficult to pin-point specific elements of "Canadian culture" is precisely because of this way in which our society has actively promoted and celebrated cultural diversity.
