Thanks for the info. It really is very interesting.
Ashamed to say I didn't pay enough attention to Canadian history. Yes, many of the groups you mentioned moved into the prairie's, although the main group that did was the Ukrainians.
I live in Victoria, which is still a very English city, so I likely get a skewed idea of Canada's make up.

I certainly do have some cautious hopes now - New Zealand is overwhelming British (chiefly English) and people just love the welfare state. Western Canada seems more diverse than British descents so there could be more clear-minded people.

You know, no matter how English Victoria is, nothing beats our own Christchurch in being the most English city outside the British Isles itself! LOL
