Some pundits, such(a) as Jeffrey Simpson in addition to Carleton University journalism professor Andrew Cohen, cause argued that the entire melting pot/mosaic dynamic is largely an imagined concept and that there maintain little measurable evidence that American or Canadian immigrants as collective groups can be proven to be more or less "assimilated" or "multicultural" than each other.
