What's
white furred, sinuous, and definitely not a cat or rabbit and lives in Kitchener? Whatever it was, I saw one this afternoon.

Lemur? They are extraordiarily sinuous and do come in white coats, although that's more of a spring/summer weardrobe for them! :-D

Wikipedia says that's a Stoat in winter fur, when it's known as an
Ermine

There is also the possibility of an albino squirrel.

Ferret would seem to be an obvious guess.

Iceweasel?
It doesn't have to be an albino to be white. It could be a white morph (has pigment that happens to be white) rather than albino (no pigment).
Red eyes = albino
Normal eyes = white morph
Someone is doing some research on white squirrels if you've seen one.
