Lazy Euro-Canadian boy pretending he is working the land; this is a myth, he is a colonizer. --Duchesne
Daniel Panneton, a "Historian & Outreach Officer at Multicultural History Society of Ontario," calls extremist my view that Canada was created by pioneers and settler farmers. He says it is "racist" and a "myth" to say that Canada was created by Euro-Canadians. The only historically accurate view of Canada's past is that it was a "culture of white supremacy, a culture that is continually replicated and reshaped by our political and cultural institutions."
The notion that "Anglo-Celtic" settlers endure hardships in Canada working in their farms is a "myth". Euro-Canadians were lazy colonizers who simply "usurp Indigenous lands rights" as their property, calling themselves "civilized" and designating the "Other" as "uncivilized".
He claims that students in our schools and universities are still being taught the myth that Euro-Canadians were hard-working "frontiersmen" when in fact they were nothing but white supremacists who erased the indispensable role of Indigenous peoples in the making of Canada. Canadians did not endure any "sacrifices" and it is not true that they had large families.
Panneton offers no evidence to back any of these blanket statements. ...
