Abstract

Chapter 7 puts multiculturalism under the microscope by assessing how it is played out the level of positive and critical attitudes, costs and benefits, and successes and failures. The chapter makes it abundantly clear. When it comes to assessing an official multiculturalism, it’s not a case of either/or but one of both/and since it’s impossible to have benefits without costs, successes without failures, and attitudes without criticism. The chapter also delves into why criticism of Canadian multiculturalism that prevails outside academic circles (Chazan et al. 2011; Duchesne 2017) has made little headway in gaining political traction or stoking public appeal. An evaluation of Canadian attitudes toward multiculturalism draws on a series of national surveys. To date, survey data suggest Canadians are generally supportive of an official multiculturalism, at least in principle if not always in practice; nevertheless, this support is conditional and comes with strings attached. The chapter also acknowledges that Canadians are largely uninformed about the logic of an official multiculturalism relying, instead, on dated assumptions, caricaturized versions, and uncritical applications adopted from the European theatre. Not surprisingly, criticism of multiculturalism tends to be sufficiently polarized along partisan lines as to preclude any balanced assessment (Duchesne 2017; also Watts 2018).
