With the recent policy debates over multiculturalism and integration, it is easy to forget the average Canadian trying to make sense of their identity in their daily lives. Many turn to the hyphen as a way of explaining who they are, becoming Irish-Canadians, Greek-Canadians, Lebanese-Canadians. Others are still seeking something else. On today's program, we host a panel of hyphenated Haligonians who talk about the joys and pitfalls of holding two passports, two languages and two cultures. We bring you a report from one of Halifax's first multicultural festivals of the year, the Lebanese Cedar festival, and we feature an exclusive interview with writer Neil Bissoondath, whose 1994 book Selling Illusions: the Cult of Multiculturalism in Canada, helped kick off the debate over the hyphenated Canadian.
