Ajax defines as south Ajax white folk, north is black folk. Although my pal next door is black Lol but we are going on major percentages not individual house content.

Well quite. In a place where most people are immigrants, it's not at all rude or unusual to ask someone where they're from.

I agree, however it is a little rude to tell them that the reason you asked was because the only way you could reconcile their level of erudition was if their PhD was earned in a language other than English.

Yes, and ragging on the Welsh seems fine apparently in a pot kettle type way.

Re: Walmart now has a British section

I look at my relatives here and how they've married over the years. "Irish", Italians and Poles. You can tell they settled in Hamilton

Never really been to Brampton, but a stroll through Mississauga and you could clearly see the asian influence.

No different from Birmingham, Slough or Bradford UK.....Is that a bad thing though? The mayor is still WHITE (not Betty White)

It's not old news if your Walmart has only just converted to a supercentre selling fresh stuff. The British section appears to be a feature associated with supercentre rather than Walmart in general.

Not all Walmarts are supercentres so not all have a British section as described.

Maybe Guelph has gone "super"
