The other is buses zipping around all over town, eating up school budgets and determining the start/end times of the school day ... but that is quite another story.

Is there less segregation in Canada? For the US busing, all things being equal, surely reduces school segregation -- which is, of course, bad.

I cannot quite comment on now, been down south of the border for too long. There was less talk about segregation in Canada, and Canadians tended to believe that they had fewer segregation and general race-related problems than did the USA (the States as we would say). That might reflect the less talk as much as actually fewer problems, however.

I can't comment on Canadian segregation, but one of my peers works for a firm in Toronto (all caucasian) that claims they have no diversity related needs or diversity related challenges.  They also lost a seven-figure account with a large American company precisely because they are not a diverse office.
