A Canadian informal shorthand for 'multicultural' or 'multiculturalism,' most often used in discussions about Canada's official policy of cultural diversity and its practical expression in Canadian society. 'Multicult' can be used descriptively and neutrally, but in some political and online contexts it's deployed dismissively by critics of multiculturalism as a policy. Context is everything with this one — the same three syllables can signal pride, policy wonkery, or resentment depending on who's speaking.
The neighborhood had gone from a quiet suburb to fully multicult in a decade, with restaurants from six different countries on the same block.
