Come to think of it, it's interesting to ponder the idea of Berlin/Kitchener emerging as the "Canadian Milwaukee" (i.e. a German immigrant city). Urban German immigrants were never really a thing in Canada. Kitchener reached 30,000 in 1931 (and was still 55% German ancestry) but it didn't really take off until after WWII when it ceased to have a German majority.

19th century immigration from Germany in Canada was modest and very rural and peaked in the 1850s. German immigration to the US continued after the unification of Germany and in fact peaked in the 1880s.
