Um saco de Dollars – The Story of Pioneer Joaquim Guerreiro
In this episode of the LusoCanada podcast, we revisit the story of a Portuguese immigrant father who left Portugal with the dream of making “um saco de dollars” and returning home. Instead, his path became part of a much larger story — one of sacrifice, resilience, saudade, and the building of Portuguese life in Canada. From Nova Scotia to Toronto and Mississauga, this episode offers a powerful glimpse into the struggles and aspirations of an early generation of Portuguese pioneers.
