This is fabulous news. I grew up in Montreal in an English speaking enclave surrounded by French Canadians at a time of resettlement after World War Three.  There was a Jewish family, a Russian family, a Swedish family, and the first major immigration group: Italians. I have friends who are Chinese, Jamaicans, Dutch, First Nations and people of many other countries. I speak English, French, Italian and Mandarin Chinese.  Of course, not everyone has been open to races of all kinds like myself. There are those who hate other races. Too bad. Oh, and by the way, those Syrian refugees recently saved from bloodshed will make great citizens; just like the Vietnamese and American conscientious objectors.
