    Wow this hits close to home hahaha. My father's side of the family is Irish and we trace our ancestry directly back to the famine where my ancestor was pregnant with twins coming over to Canada. My dad was the most Canadian of Canadians watching hockey (Leafs fan) , CFL over NFL (never understood this), Watching the World Juniors, Watching Canada in the Olympics, HNIC, Murdoch Mysteries, Corner Gas, smoking metric tons of weed and drinking a shit ton of Canadian Alcohol. If my father was this generation and on social media he would have been Trudeau's personal propagandist for how great Canada was/is . The irony is that we are Irish Blackfoot Metis so he was embracing the culture and identity of our cultural colonizer and dominators. Starved by the famine to get here and starved by the culling/massacring of the Buffalo herd. Yeah thanks for the video been subbed for a long time.

    You should explore the other side of this coin... The Irish that have been living in Canada for ten plus years and have citizenship, have had kids here but refuse to admit they're Canadian now. They can be found at Donnellan's or Jonny Fox's socializing with other Irish Canadians who haven't managed to make a single friend without an Irish birth certificate or try any food that wasn't cooked exactly as me mum did when I was a kid. Deliberately discussing soccer for hours on end to repel any Canadian engagement. Taking wagers on whether or not this is a true pint. Or otherwise, longing to be back home except for the three weeks a year that they actually are.
