Canada characterizes itself as a 'multicultural' nation- and while demographically it is very diverse, legally it's more of a 'bicultural' nation. I don't want to get into a big debate about ethnicites and cultural relativism, but really a big generalization is there's English Canada and French Canada- and we all know that's a big defining trait of the current Canadian confederation (and continues to be a source of discontent for some 
).
I'm posing a challenge to come up with a scenario though where nearly all of OTL Canada (can be a bit more or a bit less) is still controlled by a Confederation, but rather than just being English/French it has many more cultures within it. I make no distinctions of what those cultures might be- First Nations, Russians, Spanish, what have you.
I imagine off-hand the best way to do this would be to have more Russians colonize Alaska and have it fall into British (and later Canadian) rather than American hands, somehow get more Spanish people along the west-coast, perhaps carve a Mohawk territory after the American Revolution and prevent the Gaelic speakers on Cape Breton from being oppressed and losing out their language; but the more ethnic creativity the better. There's no set PoD, except that Canada as a state should contain all of OTL borders, though it can expand a lot or shrink a bit. If you can keep a U.S.-type state going as well that'd be cool too.
