Immigrants
In 1900 41,681 immigrants were admitted into Canada.
I picked this because I thought it was amazing how so many immigrants were let in at once. -
Chinese head tax.
Chinese head tax increased from $50 to $500. I picked this because I think its wrong how they had to pay to get into Canada. -
Border Inspection
A border inspection service was created on the U.S/Canadian border. I picked this because you shouldn’t have too inspect immigrants that are coming into North America. -
The Komagatu Maru.
The Komagatu Maru arrived in Vancouver, sailing from China with 376 Indians aboard who where refused admittance. After 2 months in the harbour, following an un successful appeal to the B.C supreme court. Komagatu Maru left the harbour in Vancouver, came back and then only 1 Indian was let into Vancouver. I choose this event because I don't like how only 1 Indian was let in out of 376. Also I hate how the Indians travelled from such a far distance twice and not be aloud into Canada. -
World war 1.
During world war 1 very few immigrants were let in, because the Canadians were scared of letting in somebody dangerous. I picked this because everyone is affected by the war and you should let in anybody who needs to come in. -
Jew Immigrants
130,000 Jews immigrated into Canada many of them fleeing pogroms in Czarist Russia and Eastern Europe. -
