What place is closest to being a microcosm of Canada?

All the talk about the Ottawa suburb of Orleans has made me think that its population is the closest thing to a microcosm of Canada's population in a single location.

Consider this about Orleans:

Rougly 25% is francophone.

Between a fifth and a quarter are visible minorities.

Between a fifth and a quarter are immigrants.

All of the immigrant groups who traditionally congregate in Anglo-Canada (Asia, South Asia, Anglo-Caribbean, etc.) are well represented, as are the immigrant groups that are present in French Canada (Arab, Haitian, francophone Africa, etc.)

Older European origin immigrant groups are also represented (Italian, Greek, etc.)

About 5% of the population is aboriginal, with no particular nation or people standing out, it's more of a cross-section of people from across the country.
