July 1, 1923, Canada welcomed white #immigrants & shunned #POC - mostly #Asian & #Chinese immigrants.
As #Canadians celebrated opportunities #Canada provided - #ChineseImmigrationAct 1923, came into effect.
It applied to Chinese nationals & people of Chinese descent who were British citizens. Predating #draconian #apartheid laws of South Africa by 25 yrs.
