I absolutely love this topic. No not everything is sunshine and lollipops in Canada when it comes to the integration of the many different races and cultures, racism does exist and can be quite prevelent at times. But as Canadians we are taught and have grown up with the idea/notion of a multicultural society. While we are all Canadians, part of that means respecting and celebrating the diversity of our society. We expect everyone to keep their culture and promote, and that is what adds to the experience of being Canadian. On a very small scale my sorority holds multicultural dinners where each sister brings food from her ethnic background - it makes for a very tasty dinner of British, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, European, and Malaysian food just to name a food. As someone mentioned earlier the thought of an all white fraternity/sorority is just totally strange.
As for the Quebec thing, that's a whole other ball park.
