Of those cases, 81 percent involved only procedural, not criminal, wrongdoing.
At the height of the recent provincial election, the nation’s economic struggles were at the forefront of debate. When an ‘Us vs. Them’ mentality began to rear its head, one student couldn’t help but notice its impact on Canada’s longstanding multicultural identity. “I firmly believe that immigration and multiculturalism are not simply political policies and ideologies, but a way of life,” says Christopher Stuart Taylor, a third-year PhD student at Western. “They are as Canadian as hockey and maple syrup, but continue to be hotly contested issues throughout Canadian society.”
