No, actually, MY forefathers here in Canada, DID NOT ...oppress... ANYONE and half of them WERE British, but, Scots, not English.

The situation here from when my Norse ethnic forbearers first came to "Vinland" circa AD 885 and then my actual family arrived with Sir William Alexander, in the 17thC. and the horrific behaviour of the English, specifically in the late 18th, the 19th and the 20thC.s IN IRELAND to the indigenous Irish people is much different.



wouldnt use our Norse forebearers as an example.....we didnt like the indians back in 885 and faught them.....we beat the chit out of both the English and Irish which is why Iceland has significant Irish blood from the Irish women kidnapped on the way over to set up shop....

the British Isles is one of the most fought over pieces of ground in the last 2000 years.....it rivals the chunk of land currently owned by Israel when it comes to various groups including outsiders shedding blood over possession....whole lot of early English kings refused to lower themselves to speaking English, they were French and not heathen English crazy
