Toronto is the Most Multicultural City in the World! (So I claim!)

Sydney
New York

Which is the most multicultural city in the world?
Right now, as I type, Christina Cherneskey on CFRB is simulcasting with those three other cities for an hour about who is the most multicultural city in the world. They’ve just switched to Syndey and are listening to children sing and talk about how they can learn different languages. Then we switch to New York, which claims it’s the world’s first melting pot and is interviewing a professor (with an accent to boot, proving their claim). Then back to London, the BBC host of this competition.
But of course, they can’t compete with us, Toronto. We’re an immigrant city. We attract 25 percent of all immigrants to Canada. We’re more livable, according to a recent poll, than those three. We are naturally multicultural. So what do you think? Tell the world in the next 45 minutes.
You can e-mail your vote to cc@cfrb.com or call 416-872-1010 or 1-800-561-CFRB.

Update: Fantastic hour! The four voters from Iraq, Pakistan, Morocco, and Singapore voted: two for London, one for Toronto, and one on the fence. Texters voted for New York. E-mailers for Toronto. We’re the only city that showed up in two voting pools. Not bad!
