I just came back from a ton of fun in helping out the Afrikadey! 2008 Music Festival and taking in some sights and sounds from Africa. And then, just by pure luck, I ran into a group of people celebrating their friends’ and families’ Indian-style wedding on the street! The reporter in me couldn’t help but flip out my mobile phone to capture a bit of the sight and sound. Here is a YouTube video of the on-street celebration.
I will spare you my usual boring and long diatribe expressing my love of Multiculturalism as a Canadian national policy. I just want to mention that we may not have the power of military might (like the U.S.) or power of money and foreign reserves (like China) but our encompassing diverse Canadian society gives us the power to understand, to mediate and most important of all, to appreciate others who are different from us. Our understanding and appreciation of others make us strong and vibrant while these skills also make us valuable in international trade and other business or non-business endeavours.
