BEAUDOIN DUQUETTE, Alexandre. Propaganda, Competitive Advantage, and National Security: Elements for Critically Putting Canadian Multiculturalism in Context. Norteamérica [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.2, pp.85-105. ISSN 2448-7228.  https://doi.org/10.20999/nam.2016.b004.

This article contributes elements for a critique of Canadian multiculturalism that takes into account the concerns of the Latin American Diasporas established in Canada. The author argues that it is necessary to understand how three aspects are incorporated into this policy: propa-ganda, the aspiration to turn the country’s cultural diversity into a competitive advantage, and the concern for national security. To understand this, the ideology that orients Canada’s immi-gration and cultural diversity policies must be put in perspective.
