Settling in?
Racism. It's one of those things we supposedly solved last century, through long, difficult debates and courageous action.
So why, then, doesn't everyone belong?
An article in today's Toronto Star outlines a new study, revealing that skin colour was the biggest barrier to immigrants feeling as though they belonged in Canada.
And, the study shows, it only gets worse with the next generation.
So whither multiculturalism? Where has our keen desire to be a place of welcome and diversity gone?
I'm not sure what the answer is - I only know the question and the evidence fills me with a deep sadness.
