Twenty years later, the neighbourhood is still predominantly Jewish) In schools, you wouldn't have little cliques made up of kids from the same ethnic groups and certainly GLOs and other organizations would actually reflect the campus rather than being mostly white.

I agree and disagree with this.
I do agree that Canadians are somewhat segregated. There are neighbourhoods that are predominantly Chinese, or Jewish, or Italian, etc, etc, etc.
However, when I go to these neighbourhoods I never feel like I don't belong or people are giving me strange looks, or people are rude to me. They are just as friendly and welcoming to me as they are to "their own".
