In some ways it is worse. Canada doesn't have the economic or political power of the United States. Canada has almost no military to enforce its sovereignty. Canada doesn't have common mindset of Americans (indoctrination) that pulls the country together in a bind. Canada has more of a concentrated population which exacerbates the regional divides and sets up political disenfranchisement. Canada has the indigenous issue the United States does not feel in the same way. Canada has the "unique culture" issue with Quebec that the United States doesn't deal with. Canada has plenty of challenges that could make the issues the United States has dealt with, and Canada is sure to feel in the near future, that much more difficult to address. The American approach to forcing assimilation has certainly caused problems, but at the same time made them easier to address.
