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

Did it look like
this
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Mustela_erminea_winter_cropped.jpg)?
Wikipedia says that's a Stoat in winter fur, when it's known as an
Ermine
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoat).

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.
