Believe it or not, but up here in Toronto tribalism is alive and well. Each area of the city has its own ethnic enclave with the important difference to the U.S. in that Canada has state sanctioned it. As always being Canadian, it is subtle in its effects and presence. It is called multiculturalism. Now don’t get me wrong. People of different backgrounds do get together. But the majority keep seperate. Each group is seperate. The problem is that, being in Canada, it is not spoken of at all, officially. If anyone doubts me come and visit and I’ll show you. I can say that certain ‘groups’ will not go out with others. This is denied of course, yet nevertheless true. In fact whole communities/suburbs exist of seperate groups. But no one says anything because it would look bad. As opposed to New York, Toronto has no cultural identity and being Canadian is to be an acceptor of all other cultures. Officially. There is racial tension here, but again it is subtle. At least in New York you know where you stand. Toronto makes the Byzantines look like childs play.
