My grandfather's father was a herring choker from the Maritime provinces. His family emigrated from England/Scotland at some point to Canadia. My grandfather converted to Catholicism to marry my grandmother (100% Portugese-her parents were "off the boat") and that was a bit scandalous lol.
I thought my dad was full of shit when he told me that (He also told me Walt Disney was stuffed and sitting on stuffed Trigger so you could shake his leathery hand when you went to Disneyland) but it was true!

Waaaaait a second. What do you think a herring choker is??

Well I know it's derogatory but his family actually fished for herring. So it's even funnier?!
It's improbable to me that so many pasty white guys with naturally curly hair found each other and formed Canadian brotherly bonds. The land to the north is magical.
