If you come from one or more of the founding nationalities depicted on the Red Ensign, you may qualify as a Canadian. If you do not, you cannot.
>And the Irish and the Scots and welsh and bretons?
The first three are all peoples of the British Isles. The Scots in particular were very influential to the foundation of Canada, so it would be ridiculous to exclude them. Same with the Bretons having an outsized role in the foundation of Quebec, which was primarily Norman and Breton in the early days. Canada is not exclusively Anglo-Saxon, just as the Anglo-Saxons were not exclusively Angles or Saxons, and even had lesser known groups with them like the Jutes.
As for more recent immigration from countries depicted on the Red Ensign, I don’t think it’s really possible for first generation immigrants to ever assimilate into full cultural Canadianness, but their children or grandchildren should be able to do it just fine, given their ethnic kinship.
