In Canada
The out-migration and suburbanization trend can also be observed in Canada. Although Canada's Black population has always been more middle-class than its counterpart in the United States, many urban Black Canadian communities are being replaced as the residents move to the suburbs. There is a large and growing Black population in Toronto's western and eastern suburbs, such as: Brampton, Mississauga, and Ajax. Low-income, inner city neighbourhoods previously associated with Black Canadians in Montreal & Toronto such as Jane-Finch, Regent Park, Malvern have shown a decline in Black population in recent years, coupled with an increase in Asian and Latin American immigrant populations.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
