Foreigners in Canada Slide2
What should Canada’s foreign policy be?
Canada should have an open door policy, our country should be free to everyone who wishes to come.
Canada should bring only immigrants who are willing to speak the language and contribute to our society.
Canada needs to retain some cultural homogeny, it should focus on immigrating cultures that are similar to itself.
Canada should offer work visas and temporary residence, but citizens should be born here and have an internal understanding of what it means to be Canadian. Slide3

Culturalism Act
Trudeau adopts the idea of a multi-cultural Canada and creates this act.
Indirectly this act moves Canada away from being white and Christian.
Trudeau uses the motif of a cultural mosaic. This analogy is still in common use today.
Canada would be one of the first countries to adopt a multi-cultural policy
Recently many countries now move away from multi-cultural policies Slide9
