Geoff Russ: Only clowns label Canadians ‘settlers’

The division of this country into modernized factions of cowboys and Indians is fully embraced by public sector unions. This practice, however, does not resonate with the average Canadian — not by a long shot, according to the results of a Leger poll released last Friday.

Just 23 per cent of Canadians identify themselves as a “settler” or a “colonist.” Roughly half — 47 per cent — reject the label, while 30 per cent have no opinion or do not care.
