I grew up in the GTA, but lived anywhere from Windsor to Barrie later on, before finally making my way to Montréal.

I attended public school as a minority in Ontario; there was very little integration, in my experience. Heck, there was even division amongst the Asians.

Anglo multiculturalism sounds nice in principle, but in my experience, it is an utter failure in the implementation of its second principle:

Multiculturalism promotes the full and equitable participation of individuals and communities of all origins in all aspects of Canadian society.

In reality, there is no 'full and equitable participation'. On the surface, we are allowed to whatever we wanted, but the unspoken price for doing so is to be confined within an ethnic enclave. That is why Asian participation in politics is so, so low.

This isn't good for the immigrants either. There are so many highly-trained professionals stuck in ethnic enclaves, doing mundane jobs that are far below their skill level. I've personally worked at restaurants at completely illegal wages (6$ an hour), because Asians do things the Asian way, and there was no way to govern them under multiculturalism. My father was a geneticist (we came in as skilled immigrants), but now he is a small business owner that serves exclusively Asian people and doing rather well - because the market of Asian people who refuse to hire 'mainstream' companies due to cultural differences is so huge.
