What happens when a nation founded on multicultural ideals begins to see cultural difference as a problem to be managed, rather than a value to be celebrated? This book challenges the core assumptions of Canada's multiculturalism policy and its reliance on "reasonable accommodation." Instead of fostering genuine inclusion, these frameworks often reinforce the dominance of the majority culture, positioning minority groups as outsiders who must conform, adapt, or be merely tolerated. Drawing on feminist constitutionalism, intersectionality, and critical race theory, the author exposes how these dynamics most acutely impact those at the intersections of multiple forms of marginalization - especially Muslim women. The book powerfully critiques how feminist ideals are sometimes appropriated by populist narratives to justify Islamophobic and anti-immigration policies, all while claiming to defend liberal values. Through incisive analysis of landmark legal cases, this book reveals how the legal system can perpetuate structural inequalities under the guise of neutrality and reasonableness. Essential reading for anyone interested in social justice, law, or Canadian society, this book invites readers to rethink what true multiculturalism means - and what is at stake when it is reduced to a tool for managing, rather than embracing, diversity.
