Actually, nearly everyone of them did. That's why we had neighbourhoods which were Little Italy, Chinatown, the Jewish neighbourhood, etc. Boy, I sure miss those Viennese bakeries. And the great Polish shops on Roncesvalles.

The English gave every town it came across English place names. My grandparents wouldn't speak to anyone or make friends with anyone who wasn't English. They had very few friends.

I'm not sure what your ethnic background is, but you obviously didn't notice how immigrants have behave since day one. I could take you on a walking tour of Toronto and show you where the Jews, Chinese, Italians, Portuguese, Indians, Finns, Irish, Greeks and so on lived.
