Friendly reminder that Canada’s railway was built by Chinese immigrants who not only were abused but were payed slave wages. No textpost can properly describe the pain and horror our government caused for the sake of profit.

Not to mention once it was done they imposed a head tax to make it more difficult for them to bring their families over so they would leave after providing cheap labour. Eventually there was a total ban. Chinese immigration policies in Canada were some of the most notoriously discriminatory policies in Canadian history specifically because we brought a lot of them over for labour then wanted them all to leave
