Dishes Out: Settlers Are Immigrants

Ya'll the haters are back! Our recent social media reel of over 10,000 views, have people enraged over the simple fact that those who came to Canada in the past are immigrants. With almost 500 comments and all of them hell-bent on denying the truth about people to migrate to another country, we are clapping back.

We believe that all settlers are immigrants. BUT are all immigrants to Canada settlers? Good question and we think you'll enjoy this episode as we clap back and expose the fact that immigrants often associated with European ancestry are elevated to 'settler' while those who immigrate from non-European countries are given the title of 'immigrant'. It's the tale as old as time, tune as old as song . . . people are against differences - especially if those differences don't look like them.

And if you think this anti-immigrant hate is new, you'd be wrong. Check out a new project launch exposing the historical anti-immigrant hate throughout Canada's history: https://www.thedifferencemakers.ca/
