I envy/admire the Canadian culture and ethos on so many levels. In
depressing comparison, I find the effectiveness of our politician's
chicanery embarrassing and demeaning and our citizens' ignorance on
matters of science and economic realities pathetic. As Annette would
say, "Sigh."

So I was delighted to see a positive piece on us in the New York
Times this morning concerning our treatment of immigrants. I
especially liked this:
"Canada also has a more accommodating political culture -
one that accepts more pluribus and demands less unum".

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
