simpleposie wants to know:

What do you think of this tidbit:

Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, with half its inhabitants now foreign-born. To a much greater degree than London or New York, the city's immigrants are allowed to retain their cultural habits. Perhaps this cultural diversity makes Torontonians especially tolerant of other cultures and their habits. Perhaps, also, this tolerance has seeped into Toronto's social fabric and municipal life so that acceptance of others has led to tolerance of all things ?

Is the suggestion that "acceptance of others" = "tolerance of all things"? And how would that impede a "search for excellence"?
