Description:
"Remittance men" was a term used for young British men who settled in Canada and who were mostly "of aristocratic or upper-middle-class background, cultured, and supported by regular allowances sent to them by family back in Britain. It was the allowance that earned them the nickname of remittance men."--Pref.
