DELECTABLE LIE, A Liberal Repudiation of Multiculturalism, by Salim Mansur, argues that the set of ideas that all cultures are equal and deserving of equal treatment in a liberal democracy such as Canada, is linked to the pressing demand for equality in Western societies as these become increasingly multi-ethnic due to immigration and open borders. 

The Authors point is that although multiculturalism once seemed a very good idea, at least to politicians and others smitten with the ambition for unity, it is increasingly shown to be a lie a delectable lie, perhaps, yet a lie nevertheless that is destructive of the West s liberal democratic heritage, tradition, and values based on individual rights and freedoms. This could have been foretold, as indeed those philosophers and historians of ideas who viewed freedom as immeasurably more important than equality in the development of the West did foretell. They admonished people against the temptation to abridge freedom in pursuit of equality.
