I hate that kind of thought process because it makes me marginalized lmao. My parents were from Britain but if I trace my roots there's Scotish, Irish, and German all mixed up. My mum used to say I was a Heinz 57 and had no right to think I was better than anyone else. That would be because when we lived in Britain I had what they described as a "haughty attitude" I am Canadian I told everyone and I was only 4.

Some stuff just runs in your blood no matter how they label it.

Where would Canada deport us? The country is stuck with most of us.

Hell people who are on the deport list are still here, in some cases 15 or 20 years later. Lol.

It's not an imminent worry of mine. :)
True. But if anyone doesn't think we're Canadian enough they should show us the list of countries where we can be deported to.

Yeah, when you know a guy with a Treaty card whose name is McGregor you can be reasonably sure there's some European ancestry in his family tree. He claims to be an improved Scotsman.

No kidding and it works both ways.
I had access to some fairly extensive historical DNA analysis on my immediate family.
Mom came back as expected a city dwelling Brit from way way back.

On my fathers side distant background was expected to be rural peasant farmers from the UK.
Low and behold strong Norse indicators turn up.
Better yet even stronger Sami related (indigenous peoples of Scandinavia) markers turn up.
Those same markers, I am told, are a very distinctive trend marker in Canadian indigenous peoples.
It helps track the indigenous peoples migration waves into the America's as the marker is only represented in a few of the original
aboriginal lines.
Woodpile indeed.
And where is my treaty card?

The reality is if your not from the Olduvai Gorge your a foreign interloper.

The common thread of DNA of all those of European decent is alien. Those buggers were genetically engineering slaves all over the world to work their gold mines. That is why humans are so enamoured with gold and why we think it is worth something. It is built into our DNA. And because of the amount of gold that has come out of the Americas, I think people have been here as long as anywhere else on the planet, including Africa. So there! Plltttzzz!!!

Nobody was actually suggesting that. At least, I don't think they were. They better not. I'll give 'em what for if they do.

But as Canadians on a hypothetical deport list, we might want to be careful.....they may ship us to Toronto, and nobody wants to go there.8O

I hear they are signing up for a one way trip to Mars. I am volunteering to help them pack and load on those ships.
