Is "native Canadian" actually a term people use?

The Mayans were native Americans. It's not a national thing. It's a hemispherical thing.

interesting....I wonder why the called it the "strait of georgia"

also, I see it had 4 distinct chinatowns at various times

In 1884, because of mounting inter-racial tensions related to the Dunsmuir coal company's hiring of Chinese strikebreakers, the company helped move Chinatown to a location outside city limits.

A fourth Chinatown, also called Lower Chinatown or "new town", boomed for a while in the 1920s on Machleary Street.[4][5]

now let's say your father was a chinaman from the first chinatown, and he met your "native canadian" mom and got her pregnant in the first chinatown, you were born in the 2nd chinatown in 1884 and then lived for a time in 3rd chinatown, and then the 4th lower chinatown or new town, then took a boat to Washington in 1888 where you became an Adultthen took a boat to san francisco in 1919 and another boat to Hawaii in 1932. What nationality might you claim?

I'm not a fan of mayo-based 'slaws. Or mayo-based 'tater salads for that matter.



Oils and vinegars are something I can jive with.

Or perhaps an italian dressing. (Would that be like O&V plus the peppers and spices or..?)





Or pesto.

Don't know what to tell you really. I am in agreement that the mayo based slaw is out of order.

Oil and vinegar is the other option I am aware of. I guess ambitious people could make it but I buy tubs of it at my grocery store. It's just a very simple side dish. Take off the lid and away you go.

It's clear. It's crunchy. Got a bit of a zing. I dunno what to say. Lemme see . . . the stuff I have here is Ziggy's brand. It's mainly shredded cabbage of course. There are some shredded carrots in there and little red bits. Peppers I guess. It has 150 calories per half cup. 3 grams of fat, no cholesterol.

Another brand I have had at times is Moishe's. It's okay but I prefer the Ziggy's.


I just had a look for a pic online and couldn't find a decent one. They all look vile. I suppose I could take a pic myself but it seems like so much work and I would have to get up and stretch and everything.


This is the closest thing I see there:

No, no one uses the term native Canadian. We would just use Native or First Nations or whatever. Injuns and eskimos.

But we are not big on that stuff. You don't hear Italian-Canadian or Asian-Canadian (etc.) either.

Definitely, we would not call the Canadian indigenous people Native Americans.

As an observer of American culture (sometimes more voluntarily than other times) I had not noted that Americans had taken to calling the whole hemisphere of aboriginals, Native Americans. I am curious: does it stop there or does it apply to parallel situations. i.e. - would some Americans refer to black Canadians as African-Americans?
 
A Canadian would say that before they would say Native Americans. But again, we don't say any of that. Always needing to stick something on the end is a very American construct. Just Native seems to do the trick here. First Nations.

I can just imagine if someone running for office in Canada trotted out the phrase Native Americans to refer to Natives in Canada.

Some kinda political suicide right there.
 
I call myself Canadian and I am just like 2-3 generations. i.e. some of my grandparents were born in Canada. Some came over from Scotland but I'm not going to call myself Scottish. I feel no particular connection to Scotland.

I'm definitely not going to call myself Scottish-Canadian. That would be a lot of unnecessary cumbersome shit IMO.



13th generation? That must be going back not just before confederation but WAY before confederation. Are you related to frikking Champlain or something? Were your ancestors set adrift with Henry Hudson?
