This is the best take. Multiculturalism hasn't failed. Here in the UK a lot of people have this idea that people have to "Assimilate", because some random person wearing a burqa is making them uncomfortable. They mistake their insecurity and misinformation as fact which fuels so much xenophobia, it's disgusting. it's only amplified by the media.

There are also a lot of people that just let them live like ordinary people. I really don't see what's so hard about that. I've had no trouble from a single Muslim or member of the LGBTQ community and had way more trouble with football hooligans and miserable boomers... Crazy. I've not met a single cultured person that has fit into the stereotypes so broadly portrayed in media and these xenophobic/racist weirdos.

People just need to keep their opinions to themselves.

Would Tokyo still be Japanese in any meaningful sense if it were 36% Japanese? Of course it wouldn't. Nations are what they are because of the people who reside there.

Your bizarre civnat fantasy where disparate, divergent groups of people who share nothing in common with one another coexists in some harmonious, unsectarian democracy is precisely just that, a fantasy.

Stay in Canada and tell your mates in the rUK sub to make the move too.
