Statistics Canada: Charles Taylor

Canada Dept: However, I'm not an obvious member of a minority. I'm not a person Statistics Canada defines as an ethnic "visible minority." Nor am I homosexual, female, aboriginal or physically disabled, according to Vancouver Sun. But I do belong to several non-visible minorities. And, for the purpose of this column, I'll name one of them and Canada's most famous living philosopher, Charles Taylor, maintains everyone belongs to a minority. And, when you think about it, it's true. Those are the kinds of minority groups that are at the heart of the Canadian government's long-standing employment equity, or affirmative-action, programs.
