Summary

This quote suggests that Canadaâ€™s multiculturalism is not based on assimilation, but rather on the idea of different cultures coexisting and contributing to the overall diversity of the nation. Unlike a melting pot, where various cultures blend together to form a homogenous outcome, Canada embraces and celebrates its multicultural identity, allowing each culture to retain its unique characteristics and flavors, much like the ingredients in a tossed salad. This metaphor emphasizes the importance of diversity, acceptance, and unity within Canadian society.

Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it. He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.
