Sure, the public image is one of tolerance for this giant 'cultural melting pot' we call a country. Behind closed doors the Anglophones strongly dislike the french in Quebec.

Blacks hate the whitey because they're the perceived 'authority'.

Despite it all, the Cdn. government would have the world believe our melting pot is Mr. Roger's neighbourhood with rainbows in the sky and opportunity for everyone. The propaganda they disseminate is with the intention of brainwashing the sheeple into thinking that everything is copastetic within the cultural diversity.
Yes, Canada is in very much in the same boat but we've never been driven to this extent. Sadly, the US may be a foreshadow for us if we let it ever get that way.
And right now, if this past election was any indication.... it is where we're heading.
