Canada Getting It

On Sunday, October 17, we wrote about Angela Merkel's epiphany concerning multiculturalism. In that post we also wondered when Canada would catch on about the failure of their national experiment in multiculturalism.

In an article in The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, columnist Margaret Wente reflects on Chancellor Merkel saying what everybody in Germany already knows, that multiculturalism isn't working in Germany. Then Wente talks about Canada:
The history and composition of immigration in Canada are sharply different from the situation Germany. But our tipping point is arriving too. And once it does, there’s no turning back.
The same issues are beginning to emerge in the United States, with regard to our immigrant population.
