It is important to define the notion of social cohesion before going further on education and history of Canada. The first meaning implies that social cohesion reinforces the homogeny in the society, the cooperative social interactions and same collective value systems, which encourage a sense of belongings. However, the first notion of social cohesion could be a challenge when regionalism, localisms, the immigrants and multiculturalism come in. Therefore, secondly, social cohesion could be defined that individuals in civil society should get an opportunity to express their free wills through democratic voice. However, in the end, the ideal is tolerance and participation will bring people together no matter which notion of social cohesion is taken. The tolerance should be more than begrudging acceptance and apathy because discrimination and racism could be taken place in the community. On the other hand, should all the cultural practices be tolerated or should "a limit of acceptable heterogeneity" be acknowledged, however liberal a society is?
