Actually canada does have major minorities, they are just different ones than yours

Remember now, this is what you said. MAJOR minorities.

Chinese 4.31%
North American Indian 4.01%
East Indian 3.08%

Our population of blacks alone is a bit over 12%. More than the top three of yours. I wouldn't consider any of your minorities as major in any way.

Where do you get those figures? They do not add up to the 19 % given by statscan whose figures are based on census results.

I apologize, I didn't put in the link. Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada#Ethnicity

Note that I did not say that was all of the non-European minorities in Canada. Only the top three in percentages of population. I would have used your source had it shown the percentages.

So where are the major minorities like the US has? You want to make comparisons yet have yet to provide the data which would do so.
