...rage expressed night after night by alienated youth dealt a crushing blow to France's self-image as a model of tolerance and social equality. Could such riots occur in Canada, a nation of immigrants, many of whom face severe economic challenges and are excluded from Canadian society? We must make sure that Canada's educational system imparts a sense of shared values and that there are real equal opportunities for all. Syed Waris Shere Winnipeg...
