Contending loyalties are loyalties that compete against each other, such as a loyalty to one group competing with a loyalty to another. Conflicts between contending loyalties, such as between family and work commitments, can be difficult to resolve. Canada's policies of cultural pluralism and multiculturalism have helped attract immigrants by encouraging people from various cultures to affirm their unique identities while still integrating into Canadian society.
