(Excerpt):

You know, another example, of sort of the discriminatory attitude…All immigrants and their children knew that although Canada was a land of opportunity compared to what they came from, the fact is that there was a fairly low glass ceiling. So, one example of this is, when the bus system started, all of the roads that had – they all called themselves the ‘the descendants of the United Empire Loyalists’ – living on them, the bus went and picked the kids up at the door. The roads which had Ukrainians, Poles, Slovaks, on them, the kids had to walk out to the main road.
