This is all true, but it hardly seems like "news." Toronto was named the 
most ethnically diverse city in the world something like a decade ago 
(The city now features three distinct "China towns.") Vancouver, though 
not as diverse as Toronto, has had vast Chinese and Sikh communities 
since before I lived there in the 1980s. Even Montreal (hamstrung a bit 
by periodic "nationalist" governments), has largish (French-speaking) 
Haitian and Vietnamese communities (in addition to their long-standing 
Italian and Greek populations). Calgary and even Winnipeg have 
historically had sizeble immigrant populations too. I wonder why the New 
York Times decided to pick this up now.

Best,
Chris
