Weren't all the Brits, French, Irish, Italians, etc economic refugees to Canada? They flooded Canada, and there were no immigration controls back then.

back then when?
The Italians and Irish were LEGAL immigrants and refugees, came the proper way at regular ports of entry

if you mean "back then" to the 16th century the British and French still came legally through legal ports of entry

if you mean "stole aboriginal land" then return to your ancestors homeland with your guilt or all talk and no action
