David Bly and Nicholas Ogibowski

Nicholas Ogibowski: Thanks to David Bly for a perceptive and sensitive column on May 18. , according to Times Colonist. Nicholas Ogibowski saved enough to buy land in Manitoba, where the rest of his life was dominated by more hard work and the slurs of Polack or Bohunk. One ignored part of Canadian history is that settlers of British descent were given, or got first choice on, the best farmland, often along the main rail line, a surefire recipe for success. Re: Discrimination starts on a personal level, May 18.

My Polish grandfather arrived in Canada to work on the railway, slaving away beside displaced men from many places. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
