Indo-Canadian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Indo Canadians are Canadians whose origin traces back to the nation of India. The Canadian government re-enfranchised the Indo-Canadian community with the right to vote in 1947. To protect the interests of the Canadian population on the west coast of Canada, who did not want Indians to immigrate to Canada, the Canadian government prevented Indian men from bringing their wives and children until 1919, which was another considerable factor why they decided to leave Canada. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Indo-Canadian   (3723 words)

It would be appropriate for food characteristic of Canadians of Indian origin, if such a thing exists. Canadian supermarkets rarely if ever carry foods characteristic of American Indians. itre.cis.upenn.edu /~myl/languagelog/archives/001321.html   (283 words)

That's why it didn't take any effort on the part of Canadian customs officer Altaf Merali, who was caught smuggling 100 kilograms of pot across the Canada-U.S. border and who is now back in Canada on bail, to calmly allege that he was forced to do so by an Indo-Canadian gang.

Indo-Canadian "Mixed" Marriage Although there is an instant immersion in cultural diversity and plurality at school, there grows, as well, a new awareness of something that is North American Anglo-Celtic and is called "Canadian." This "Canadianness" manifests itself in the emerging interests that are shared at home through the medium of television.
