Best Answer

They helped create Canada. Some of our Fathers of Confederation were Irish, most famously DArcy Mcgee, our first politician to be assassinated by the Americans, or as they prefer by an American, actually they prefer if we say by an Irish man who just happened to be American but that is another answer.

The Irish were also one of the groups that built the railways in Canada, including the railway to the West Coast.

They have been traditionally been very supportive of independence from Britain and of minority rights in Canada.
