research_upei: Comment: Being British in Canada meant not seeming so small next to US, until Empire began to break apart mid 20th C. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:54
research_upei: Comment: did increased sense of British identity coincide with growth of B. Empire? Desire to be on the right side. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:51
research_upei: Comment: much of this Brit identity can be attributed to relative youth of Canada. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:48
research_upei: The debate has come to Coronation Street. Someone suggests more Canadians watch it than British. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:44
research_upei: Comment: we are frozen by our old Britishness. We are like Austria. We are just there. We can't move forward. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:42
research_upei: Debate now over how British our identity is today. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:41
research_upei: Comment: Canada is a half-way house. We won't fret the death of the queen like we did the death of George 60 yrs ago. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:40
research_upei: Comment: Queen is still head of state. We have 3 provincial flags with red ensign. We sing God Save the Queen at @upei grad #researchontap

research_upei: Chilton recalls her own citizenship oath; judge said she'd make a great Canadian partly because of her vaguely English accent
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:35
research_upei: Chilton: perhaps in the minds of immigrants, but remember, many "non-British" immigrants were considered foreign once war struck.
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:34
research_upei: Question: Does citizenship, oath to the Queen, define this English identity? Fighting in wars is "in defence of the crown."
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:31
research_upei: Chilton mentions such a small % of English immigrants to PEI, yet strong Anglo-British identity #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:30
research_upei: Mentions English use of emerging "sciences" (phrenology) to prove English superiority to other races. (Even Irish called diff race)
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:27
research_upei: Read "romantic" personal ads of men seeking wives. "Haven't seen woman in a year" means "haven't seen an English woman" #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:26
research_upei: Many didn't buy the English superiority. "No English need apply" was not uncommon for job ads. Contrast w/ "English work ethic"
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:24
research_upei: All of these claims/practices were not based on fact. Even "British" wasn't the homo-English mass we assumed. #researchontap
Tue, 02/07/2012 - 19:22
research_upei: In '20s and '30s, British immigrants should have space that is there own. Hostels/trains/hospitals. A special status. #researchontap
