How were the Irish treated in Canada?

In Canada, the treatment of Irish immigrants varied by region and period. During the 19th century, particularly during the Great Famine (1845-1852), many Irish faced discrimination, prejudice, and economic hardship, often being viewed as lower class. However, over time, they integrated into Canadian society, contributing significantly to its development, especially in urban areas. By the 20th century, the Irish community had established a strong presence, leading to increased acceptance and cultural assimilation.
