I assume that you have gone to one of the major Canadians cities correct

 
Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary generally get most immigrants to Canada, especially those from Third world countries
 
If I recall things correctly at some Toronto schools the students have around 47 or so different languanges spoken at home.

Sometimes even more...

Wait until they have "Caravan"; you can visit over 50 different cultural centers in the city. It's also an opportunity to taste ethnic foods from all over.

Some of the best that I can recommend ...

Mexican at El Sol ( Danforth Ave )
Cuban at Julie's
Japanese "All you can eat" sushi at the NE corner mall at McCowan & Hwy 7
Sri Lankan at Hopper Hut ( Kennedy & Ellesmere )
Steak at Tulips @ Queen St East ( Beaches )

a number of years ago i was in Toronto in mid november and one thing i do remember well
wooooow it was just so cold with the wind chill factor figured in. no snow just a bitter cold.
but i do remember all the great food also in the resturants

They still have Caravan?  I thought with all the local festivals it disappeared.  I mean we do have:

Taste of the Danforth (Greek)
Taste of Asia
Taste of Little Italy
Caribanna
Chin Picnic

There is also an ethiopian one (don't remember what it's called) and most foods are available year round anyway...

Which reminds me... Taste of Asia is coming up... and the night market (stinky tofu anyone) is too...

And don't forget Gay Pride.  (Sorry, wanted to be politically correct)

Whats wrong with a pack of happy lions? 

Maybe they are CFL fans from Vancover or NFLers from Detroit.

We just finished here Carribean fest and soon will be Salsa fest. Next month many free pancake breakfests during stampede week.

I have yet to see Toronto get cold.  Holy crap, they get a little snow, and the mayor calls in the Armed Forces. (Bet you Toronto guys wish the rest of us would forget about that one).  Ask Rhonald what cold is...when it is -40 (Celsius or Fahrenheit), and the wind chill drops it to below -70, then it starts getting a little nippy outside.  Toronto cold weather is anything below +5 C.  hahaha

2004...Toronto hit -27 before windchill...

As for the armed forces, what do you expect from a mayor afraid of african cannibals?    At least we're better than Washington DC... I hear that if they get say an inch of snow, the city shuts down.  That said, TTC drivers need to learn to drive in inclement weather...put them at the bottom of a hill with a little snow and it'll take them 2 hours to climb it...if they don't crash into the lineup first.

Well the coldest weather I have been in is about -63 F. That was at my parents place north of Huntsville about 11 or 12 years ago. That was cold. When it is that cold there is usually no wind there. Had to have space heaters under the van to start it. No block heater.

I have seen -70 C in Northern Ontario (with windchill).  Trucks were dying right on the road.  I have also seen similar temperatures in the Prairies.

[temur72]

The coldest I can recall is right around -40 C back in the early 80s in Calgary. We get to just about -30 C for a couple of weeks on average a year.

A woman I would with immigrated from Guilin China when it was Winter here, she was shocked by the temperature difference, and still is

A nice winter ride.
