Abstract English

This publication is a reflection of the author’s experience in Canada as a Black Canadian and landed immigrant. It reveals how Canada which was intended to be a white man’s country instead became a land of multiculturalism. It identifies Canada’s struggles to become a multicultural country and also praises their accomplishments and their multicultural Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau. It talks about the country’s hopes in terms of multiculturalism, their methods and systems that have racist flaws and need to be perfected. The book concludes with an opportunity Canada can take, in order to become a country where race is not longer an issue.
