Question 2 The immigration posters depicting the Canadian west as the last great paradise were true to the Abersons' experience as Dutch immigrants. False.

Jane Aberson made a little extra money to supplement the farm income by writing columns back home, tempering the immigration myth with a hardy dose of fact. Next question
