Rousseau may be downplaying some of the issues facing racial minorities in Canada, but his overall message is on point. On the balance, race relations in Canada are better. Not perfect, and that's not say that other places have different ethnic groups at each other's throats. But things are better here.
Not to say that anything in your post is wrong, Saffron- the US is certainly a place of greater opportunity and a far more attractive destination for that reason and others. But even though my none of my relatives from the states would ever leave their lives in the US, they all admire the diversity and relative racial harmony in Canada.
Acajack's comparison of Jane Finch to the Paris suburbs is predictably laughable. Hahaha. See?
