  1. Kamala Harris' Canada: She moved to Montreal, Quebec at age 12. There she did 6th grade, middle school and high school, plus the post-high-school transition they have in that province before university. Her stay there was around 6 years in total, until, as you say, she moved to DC to attend Howard Univ. Although the city of Montreal is mainly French-speaking, she never picked up much French. She went to Westmount High, a public high school in an English-speaking area which was then more than halfway in a transition from being rich-establishment to well-off multicultural. The school also drew many students from a nearby largely black Caribbean-Canadian area, not nearly as prosperous but with reasonably good social conditions. There were very few Indians in Montreal at that time. By ethnicity her own area would've been maybe majority-British-Canadian (or maybe not, by that time), but also Jewish-Canadian, French-Canadian, plus smatterings of many other European ethnicities and small numbers from other races. Not many blacks in her neighborhood, but definitely at her high school. It's worth noting that the city, the province and a lot of Canada were fairly left-wing in that era. Definitely liberal, with socialist-leaning people being not all that uncommon. Communists were rare but not unheard-of. The government had its tentacles in everything, the federal and provincial governments still owning many things: railways, airlines, a lot more infrastructure, two aircraft makers, a big oil company, most universities and hospitals. At the same time, the commitment which people typically had to personal freedom and civil liberties was extremely strong, stronger than today. It was a very free country, no question. Just as she got to Quebec the situation there quickly worsened. Language-based ethnic political turmoil swiftly knocked Montreal off its perch as the largest, richest and most powerful city in the country. So she has seen the costs of division.
