In Canada, the “melting pot” has long been contrasted with
the “Canadian mosaic.” This conventional implicature was apparently
coined by Porter, a Canadian sociologist, in the mid-sixties.
Stateside, I heard someone use the expression “American stew.” Is
anyone familiar with it? I wonder where and how it was created.
