But there’s always been enclaves in Canada. Even back when it was just Europeans immigrating, there were Irish, German, polish, etc areas of most cities. Those barriers breakdown overtime as we work and live together and those old neighbourhoods start to change character.
these new cultures are very different from the current predominant culture. the original Western Europeans that migrated had differences, but they’re much more similar than north American and eastern cultures.
I don’t believe the same will happen in this case, unless the government makes a move to spread people out. Singapore does this, not allowing any culture to take over a neighborhood. Opinions vary in its efficacy/morality, but I agree with it.
They banded together into an enclave complete with their own church, businesses, newspaper, etc. They were ostracized and excluded because they were the “other”. The same story as old as time, and will continue as long as people hold prejudice in their hearts and ideals.
