Many Irish settlers came to Canada as refugees fleeing an oppressed, impoverished land. They helped shape the society we live in today.

“Without those generations, neither the Canada of today nor the Irish community of Canada would have been possible.” One of the biographies is devoted to Ellen Dease, who came to Toronto in 1847 to teach but found herself ministering to refugees from the Irish famine who were suffering from tuberculosis and other diseases. Many of Canada’s prime ministers, from John Thompson to Brian Mulroney to Justin Trudeau, had or have Irish blood in their veins. They spoke English, like the British Protestant settlers of Upper Canada, but many were Catholic, like the French in Quebec. The Irish were among the first Europeans to set foot on what would become Canadian land. The Irish both dispossessed and were themselves dispossessed.

St Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate all things Irish and connect with family and friends. As a child, I’d head off to school on St Patricks Day with tricolour ribbons in my hair and a badge attached firmly to my jumper. For me it will always be important to celebrate St Patricks Day. St Patrick’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate my Irish culture and heritage. It is a day to reflect on my culture and heritage, my family, and my journey. Growing up in Ireland, we always attended Mass with my Mum and Dad and family to remember St Patrick and give thanks for what he did for Ireland. St Patrick’s Day is a point for the Irish community to come together, showcase our culture and be proud of our roots. But I do remember when I was a boy back at home that we always went to Mass on St Patrick’s Day. Each year more and more nationalities enjoy celebrating St Patrick’s Day and being an ex-pat in the UK it certainly reconnects me with my heritage and reminds me how many people, if not Irish themselves, really connect and resonate with our culture. I’ve celebrated St Patrick’s Day in New York, Sydney, Ireland, London and Leeds. As an Irish dancer I was also often rolled out to do an exhibition in assembly for my class mates or attend Irish events over the weekend and on St Pat’s evening to do some Irish dances. Now my girls are more aware of the celebratory nature of the day we make sure we play more Irish music around that time and also attend the Leeds St Patricks Day parade.

Irish American pride is at the heart of the parade tradition — and immigration is a deeply rooted part of that history. Sympathy for the Irish once opened up meaningful access to others around the world to come to the United States. That the Irish didn’t seem alien — that they were White and English speaking — played a role in this connection. All they wanted, the Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said in a St. And a decade later in 2017, newspapers reported on a community of some 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants, Such an argument served their purposes, of course, because issuing more visas to the Irish would help create immigrant “diversity” at the time. This tradition predates the founding of the United States and its longevity speaks to the rootedness and prominence of the country’s Irish American population. They lobbied policymakers in Washington and raised money and awareness through dances in Irish immigrant and Irish American communities. Deeply-rooted Irish American communities in cities like Boston and New York welcomed these new migrants who “look[ed] as American as any Bostonian,” as the Boston Globe put it in 1987. As the Irish Voice put it, “it didn’t seem right that the Irish, who had done so much to transform America into the great nation it is today, were suffering so badly in the green card stakes.” They marched in parades under banners exhorting Congress to “legalize the Irish.” They spoke out bravely about what being undocumented meant for their lives — the sense of uncertainly and instability it fostered. As more Jews, Italians and Eastern Europeans arrived at the turn of the century, policymakers began to write racial and ethnic discrimination into the immigration laws to ensure white dominance.

While it wasn't the warm and balmy St. Patrick's Day of 2022, lots of people were still out celebrating the Irish holiday in London, Ont., this year.

Mike Oxmoal, a fourth-year Western University student, said things were very busy around 2 p.m., describing it as near FOCO, or ‘faux homecoming,’ levels of students outside his house on Broughdale Avenue.

On Broughdale Avenue, third-year Western student Owen Mackle said while he had found the interactions between police and students to be respectful, he was unsure if the amount of police patrolling was necessary. The peak of students and police on Broughdale appeared to be around 2 p.m., according to multiple students. “We can say that there were a number of individuals on Broughdale, however, they have since dissipated,” said Bough, with the notable police presence clearing out shortly after 3 p.m. Northward on Broughdale Avenue, dozens of police were on foot, ensuring students and others were staying on the sidewalks and not breaking any by-laws. “We can say there have been a number of smaller gatherings in and around the downtown core.”

Even last year’s comeback parade seemed subdued, with plenty of elbow room along the typically packed parade route, said Penn, who lives nearby in Savannah’s downtown historic district. “This looks like it’s back to normal,” Penn said. Barry, 55, wore a wide felt sash of emerald green embroidered with the names of her late parents, Irish immigrants who came to Savannah more than five decades ago. “You got the spirit, brother!” said one passerby tapping Trout on the shoulder as he and wife, Diana, strolled the streets before the parade.
