Canadians are ethnically white. Natives aren’t Canadians. They’re natives a seperate group of people. Canada is much more different than Britain in that regard but whatever. Canada is a distinct place created by the British peoples and therefore it is British.

Translated from the language of a future version of Mr. Imperialist, a descendant of alien settlers, writing about the North American continent: “Kakians are ethnically magenta. Humans aren’t Kakians. They’re humans, a separate group of mammals. Kaka is much more different than Trollain in that regard but whatever. Kaka is a distinct place created by the Trollish peoples and therefore it is Trollish.”
Pretty sure we confederated and left the Empire, asshole. And Canadians are ethnically whatever their grandparents were. It's how I claim to be Dutch, even though I've never actually left Ontario.
Also, fun fact, but both my parents and myself were technically born as British subjects. Then the law changed and we were retroactively stripped of that status, so now, we never were British subjects. Maybe not fun, but I think it's interesting, at least.
So, not only he excludes non-Whites (First Nations, Asians, etc.) but also non-British: I bet this position might be appreciated by French Canadians (apart folks of the Bloc wanting to secede) and these migrants (Dutch, Italian, Ukrainian, etc.) who came to Canada.
And you forgot that, since 1867, Canada is no longer a British Crown Colony but an independent dominion.
…so you don’t want King Charles III on the reverse of your Dollars?
Think very carefully before answering.
…especially in light of the new head of the Church of England who is the Defender of Faith: which includes Judaism & Islam here in Britain.
And those of the First Nations peoples in the country which is part of the Commonwealth he is monarch of.
So you still want him on your currency, OP…?!

Good point that I didn’t think of on first reading that post! I myself have French-Canadian ancestry on my mom’s side. There’s a commune (what we’d call a “township” in the US, I think) in southern France with the same name as my grandma’s maiden name. I’m guessing her or her ancestors in Canada or especially in France didn’t think of themselves at “British!”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
