The difference between Quebec and the rest of the country probably counts for a lot. It's why Switzerland and Belgium are colored dark on the map as well. Linguistic diversity.

We do. But we also have a lot more English speakers to outweigh them in the diversity calculations.

I'm not sure how many native Spanish speakers there are in the US: I wouldn't go by the census count because a lot of Hispanics feel the urge to lie about their linguistic capabilities. I would say the real number is probably 8 to 12 percent.

If it’s 12%, that is just over population of Canada as a whole.
-
Canada also has a higher foreign born population percentage than the US as well. Over 20%. That affects the numbers greatly.https://globalnews.ca/news/3823778/canadians-immigrant-foreign-born-asian-census-2016/ …

>Canada is the one example on this map of making diversity work. For now.

I believe they factor linguistic diversity + ethnic. And not sure how much weight they place on each. It’s clearly the bilingualism tho. Follower just pointed out: Belgium & Switzerland are same deal.

Well, the Chinese are buying up Vancouver, among other things. Canada’s current trajectory is unsustainable.

It’s because they count the Frenchies as diverse, if I recall correctly.
