1 ene 1971 año - Canada's first multiculturalism policy

Descripción:

As a result of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism in 1963-1969, Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal Government created Canada's multiculturalism policy in 1971. The Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism was addressing the French-Canadians that wanted to protect their language and culture, so they made Canada a bilingual country. The multiculturalism policy was a solution to the growing francophone nationalism, which was especially relevant in Quebec, and the increased diversity in Canada. It was the first ever multiculturalism policy in the world, and acknowledged that Canada was diverse and that all cultures are essential and have equal value. This increased the human rights for Black Canadians as it put into the law that all ethnicities and cultures are equal, therefore starting to give Black Canadians equal rights.
