Sadly not. I think he may be rather embarrassed about his origins.

Ah, northern soul and an "up and under". Had those in Yorkshire in my youth. Happy days.

There are a fair few of us here in little PEI I'm always meeting Brits or hearing their accent on the local radio.

Out and about I think I only ever heard two. But I hear quite a few on the radio, usually health related.

There must be a few Brits holding major positions in the various health authorities around Atlantic Canada.

I went to Saint John today - it's the first time we have visited - just on highway 7 outside the town, there is a nice house with wall to wall British flags in the garden there must have been a hundred....I think they may be Brits!

Or maybe a flag laundry?

2%? Not sure of that.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ons-ethnic.png might help you but most areas in Canada are fairly mixed.

british, rather than British ethnicity.

You have to define: "British".

Something like half the population of Alberta is of British ethnicity, but apparently 5% of the population are British citizens.

But that doesn't tell you much.

As an example, a Jay Treaty First Nations is a British and Canadian citizen at birth under the terms of the treaty, but they're not "British" in the ordinary sense of the word.

Are we talking about British people who emigrated to Canada? And how long do you have to live in Canada to cease to be British culturally? And how many immigrants stay?

I think the only stat that holds much water is the FCO figure of 600,000, but then again I've met Jay Treaty First Nations who got British passports and would presumably be included in that number. Not to mention Canadians and Newfoundlanders who pre-date the Citizenship Act, etc.

Like I said above in a Commonwealth country like Canada it's hard to pin down.

Yep - basically no different to any other immigrant group then. What a pointless thread.

Lots of Scots, Irish & English in SW Manitoba. I went to a new years eve party back in 1996, there were over 50 UK expats then. More have moved to Winnipeg and the surrounding area since. Hopefully another family of 4 in Brandon soon Mind you I could do without the "Tornado Watch" 2 have touched down in the last couple of weeks

Regrettably, High River AB.

Today there was an English guy on the radio again. This time a senior economics expert with a think tank for Atlantic Canada.

David Chaundy. I expect he's known to a few BEers.

We were in Wakefield on Saturday. That part of QC has always been pretty anglo and I'm sure there are a fair few Brit expats in the area.

It is quite common in western QC to see houses flying the Canadian flag, rather that the QC flag. I was most surprised, however, to see one house flying the Union flag. I've never seen that before in QC.

All i know is that are more Brits in Calgary than in Edmonton
