Completely agree. Canada is an amazing place to live for that reason...I grew up in Europe and I have to wonder if the attitude there causes part of the problem of segregation...
Canada is an amazing place to live, esp because how people of different ethnicities can come together and build for the future...
This is probably why Canada is getting the new global centre for pluralism

Canada has an experience of governance of which much of the world stands in dire need. It is a world of increasing dissension and conflict in which a significant contribution is the failure of different ethnic, tribal, religious, or social groups to search for, and agree upon, a common space for harmonious co-existence.
