The correlation has more to do with solidarity of individuals in those countries, which supports a concept of very tight linked individuals in a uniform fashion.

The problem is the assertion that it's not correlative is just as baseless as the one that asserts the opposite. You simply cannot measure either one on a 1-10 scale.

Homogeneity states that individuals within the composotion of a greater whole are uniform in composition and character. You state very clearly factors of composition - ethnicity and culture, but ignore all of the other characteristics such as opinion, thoughts, religion, adherence, etc, (this list will go on forever) that you and I simply cannot throw together into a pot and draw a conclusion.

nobody can plausibly argue that Canada is not at least as multi-ethnic as the US

What evidence do you have to support that claim?
