Thank you very much for the question.
I don't see them as opposites. I think multiculturalism can work well, as long as there is a foundation. It's like a mosaic that needs glue to hold the little pieces of glass together. Multiculturalism can work well if people think the law is fair, because the law applies equally to everyone. You would not tell someone that their ancestors came here much later than someone else's ancestors. If there are legal distinctions, people will feel that there is a lack of justice. It will undermine solidarity.
For example, the agreements with the Musqueam in Vancouver are not bringing people together. There are people who bought a house, and now it's not clear whether they can keep the house that they've paid a lot of money for. There's a minority of people who can potentially, probably, benefit from that. It is dividing people. It doesn't help with reconciliation.
