thread_title:  "related groups" info removed from infobox 

message: The history section jumps from Ontario to the Prairies in 1896 without mentioning the huge role Germans had in British Columbia, not just in the gold rush either; I'll be back with more, but don't have any BC history books on hand (I'm in Nova Scotia these days, probably can get a snapshot of the "Old Dutch Cemetery" in the North End of Halifax btw).  A good summary is in Strangers Entertained, a 1971 publication of the BC government on the provicne's ethnic groups.  The Mennonite and Hutterite migrations/settlements should be mentioned here also...."I'll be back" (aber ich bin ein Norwegischer, nicht Deutsch).Skookum1 (talk) 17:57, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's an excellent account of early BC settlers who were German, Austrian and German-ethnic Bohemians and Transylvanians and others in Strangers Entertained, a BC Govt centennial publication in most BC public libraries; I have never had time to flesh out this article with content from it, though recall making Frank Richter and certain other early pioneer articles from it; BC's Mennonite population and the concentrations of German ethnics in the Lower Mainland and Cariboo and certain other regions should also be mentioned.Skookum1 (talk) 22:48, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Germans in BC

message: Other than my edit comment, ")rv decorative use of flags in infobox: contrary to WP:MOS", another reason NOT to have the flag of Germany on this page is because many Canadians of German ethnicity do not trace their lineage to Germany, but variously to Austria, Switzerland, the Volga, Romania (Transylanisns), Bohemia (what is now the Czech Republic) and eleswhere.Skookum1 (talk) 13:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Dude? what is this "100%" German stuff, can you define German? You realize that Germans are the products of many different tribes and people who inhabited Germany over time. Same with every other nation. Especialy heavily mixed nations like France or England. You can't call someone who's already mixed with tons of things, and who's people all differ from each other an "ethnicity". The English people who came to Canada WERE NOT Anglo Saxons, they were not Celtics or any of the other groups British people like to claim they are. The truth is they are the products of all those tribes. Yet it astounds me how people still walk around talking as if the group is "homogeneous". When the truth is, one Englishmen could have more in common with a Scandinavian than he does another fellow Englishmen. One German could have more in common with a Pole, than he does a fellow German. People's concept of "Race" is skewed. These groups of people were already mixed when they came over to the New world, thousands of years of mixing. You think it just happened when they came to Canada & America?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C4EA:CA0:756F:B745:8929:82C0 (talk) 04:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
