I have some critiques of multiculturalism as a national project, and in particular the façade of tolerance that passes for inclusiveness in this country and masks an ugly colonialist history and a white supremacist present.

But.

I saw some little girls wearing hijabs playing road hockey on the way home from school today, and is it just me getting sentimental in my old age, or is that not just the greatest thing ever?

You may place three checks in your Multiculturalism Scorecard for today. One for seeing girls playing road hockey, another two for the fact that they were wearing hijabs.

And yes, if you had overheard them doing slam poetry, that would justify another three checks. Maybe next time.
