Half of the population are immigrants, as well.

And, guess what? The world hasn't exploded yet! Actually, I like living here. Toronto is a great place to live.

I realize I'm preaching to the converted here, but, Jesus! "Oh no, white people are going to be the minority!" Who cares? What's so awesome about white people? We're no better than anyone else!

Statistics from: http://www.toronto.ca/toronto_facts/diversity.htm

1. Toronto manages and (gasp!) celebrates its incredible diversity better than any city.......
Walking through Kensington Market on a Saturday afternoon (in the spring or summer, not the winter :scared: ) is one of the great joys in life, for those who've never visited T.O.

2. Legal Immigrants and immigration are cool.
Only proto-racist "nativists" dislike legal immigration.

3. Nobody has a problem with legal immigration... I wish the US would adopt Canadian
health Care And Immigration laws.
