Canada's real strength would be the contribution of diverse perspectives to the benefit of our common society. "Multiculturalism" in the politically correct way or isolationist way is counterproductive. Immigrants need to try to understand Canadian ways and adopt what they find positive here. They also can (and should!) contribute new skills and ideas: their food, music, appreciation for academics, technical skills, multilingualism, literary tastes, humour, joie de vivre etc...I really believe that this country has been dealt the best cards; let's play them wisely.
