Multiculturalism And Diversity In Canada
Canada is using terms such as multiculturalism and diversity to boast about its acceptance and compassion for others while ignoring the needs of Indigenous peoples. By placing the attention on these terms Canada is strategically able to avoid its commitments to Indigenous peoples without widespread public scrutiny. The Canadian Broadcast Corporation’s (CBC) main, online website generally showcases headlines from around the world. Major clickable tabs for the page include things such as Music, life, arts, Canada 2017, local and ‘more’. It is in the ‘more’ tab that Canadians can access Indigenous news, which is rarely covered on the local pages or the front page of the site.

should wear sunscreen, the weather and minor issues for non-Indigenous Canadians. The site does, however, discuss immigrant and minority issues often.

Multiculturalism and diversity suggest to the world that Canada is somewhere they should visit, move to and buy from. Promoting multiculturalism, and diversity generates more profit than listening and acting on the issues and needs of Indigenous peoples.
