While i'm not too surprised to read about it, i'm kinda torn about this concept.
On one hand it highlights Canada's openess and readyness to cater to the specific needs of its immigrants...but on the other hand, it reinforces segregation (eventhough it may be voluntary).
I would much rather see all of Canada's immigrant communities living side by side...practicing their unique cultures (as long as they are not infringing on others rights)...and sharing the wonderfully unique and rich world view they bring to our mosaic society.
But I guess its human nature (espcially when first confronted with an alien culture) to seek comfort in the familiar....which is why we have little Italys and China towns etc...in our cities.
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
