Try 1960s. Diefenbaker abolished the racial requirement for citizenship in 1962. Pearson established the commission on bilingualism and biculturalism in 1963, which paved the way for official bilingualism and multiculturalism in 1971. He set up the point-based system for immigrant selection in 1967 to ensure the immigration process was nondiscriminatory. Trudeau began diversifying the immigration streams in the late 1960s.
A compelling view of modern Canadian history is that the Mulroney, Chretien, and Harper administrations, 30 years of political will, were all entirely spent pulling Canada out of the mire PET drove us into. Of the three, ironically it was the Liberal Chretien that did the best job. Harper had begun reasserted the importance and primacy of Canadian culture in Canada. Then 2015 comes along and we get a less intelligent successor to Trudeau intent on driving us straight back into the bog.
