The point is that segregation existed. I don't think the article is striving to say it was the norm or widespread. Had the black population in Canada been larger I'm sure that this would have been a much greater issue. It's not like white Canadians were very evolved on issues of race. We couldn't even bring ourselves to welcome Jewish refugees while the Nazis were committing genocide.
