If only some Canadians are immigrants, then when do we draw the line?
No, I agree. And it's not a super meaningful point I'm making. Just saying that I understand where consternation might come from when dealing with this particular nomenclature in this context. I think from a first nation standpoint, the distinction between immigrants in prehistoric times versus post-colonization immigrants is meaningful.
