Terms[edit]

Porter's "Vertical Mosaic" was in reference to the understanding of the cultural mosaic that had been alive and well in Canada for some time. The section regarding the Multiculturalism policy seems to suggest StatsCanada uses the "cultural mosaic" because of Porter's book. That's a bit anachronistic. Thoughts?--Jonashart 04:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PROD[edit]

Porter appears to meet the GNG (see this full-length book, this encyclopedia entry, these three obituaries, etc.), so I'm going to contest the PROD. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:51, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
