What precisely is the nature of his criticism? Masalai (talk) 08:13, 18 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

This mostly refers to his book Selling Illusions. In general, he argues multiculturalism creates more division than it solves, and that it puts minorities into hyphenated boxes (eg. Chinese-Canadian, Jewish-Canadian, etc) instead of letting them just be Canadians. I don't find it especially compelling to be honest, mostly because it suffers from a lack of clarity. Since he's not clear on what things like multiculturalism, nation, ethnicity, culture, etc, are it's hard to know whether any of his criticisms have much weight. 2607:FEA8:620:4F2:C1BC:882:FA1A:594B (talk) 17:08, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
