Terry, thanks for that. I know I have the issue around here somewhere. Also, re: the 'invisible English', I can go one layer further. The Welsh more often than not registered themselves as 'English'; 'English' and 'British' were considered interchangeable but, additionally, the Welsh often felt that calling themselves 'English' meant they were bettering themselves. Makes tracing Welsh history in Canada that little bit more awkward.

But that's a thread drift, I suppose.

I'll be very interested to see how the discussion of 'Canadianess' develops here.
