Sunnis and Shias don't really hate each other. Most muslims I know hang out with other sects, or Arab Christians, even Jews for that matter without any issue. Even in the Middle East, the hate between Sunni and Shia is mostly political, ie. Saudi (Sunni) vs Iran (Shia), Saddam (Sunni) murdering Shia who were backed by Iran, etc.
I took my best friend who is an Iranian-Canadian to some very Sunni places in the Middle East a few years ago and he had zero problems whether at the airports or on the streets, even after people found out he was Shia.

Happy to hear that in Canada you don't have a divide but I have to correct you on Saddam Hussein, even know he was born a Sunni he died a socialist under the Baath Party and a secularist. he shaved, watched hollywood movies/porn...far from a Sunni freakazoid.
