  1.  @roberttaylor3594  That’s what I was thinking might be possible. Enclaves are not a bad thing if there is social movement and respect. I didn’t know about the high real estate prices, which could put a kink in things. You don’t want your enclaves to be impoverished ghettos which will cause isolation, social problems, and hinder social movement. The “melting pot” concept of U.S. immigration is only partly true. I’m from L.A., which is one of the more multi-cultural cities in the U.S. Los Angeles is not a soup of different ethnicities mixed together. It’s a stew with chunks of ethnic cultures to give it flavor. (And sometimes the flavors clash, sometimes they complement each other, but I don’t want to take the analogy too far.) It wasn’t always like this. It happened over decades. Different minority groups suffered from prejudice at different times, there has been conflict between different communities (and there still is). But those communities also learned to be mutually supportive in fighting for their rights. I don’t want to sound like a liberal, but I want to point out why people come to Los Angeles from other countries to begin with: freedom and economic opportunity—generally more of it than in the places from where they came, even if what they found here wasn’t perfect freedom and opportunity. They don’t come to the U.S. because we are socialist. They come because we are capitalist and free. I think the U.S. could benefit from more immigration. That might sound funny coming from a conservative, but conservatism in the U.S. has become tainted, and has transformed into something else. From what Pete says, I imagine Canada could benefit from more immigration as well. It was interesting that Pete only mentioned the First Nations once and obliquely when he said “native” was a loaded word. How do the original inhabitants of Canada fit into the picture? Are they so few as to not be a big factor in Canadian society?
