Did you know that in 1911 Prime Minister Laurier's cabinet approved Order-in-Council P.C. 1911-1324 — the Proposed Ban on Black Immigration to Canada because “the Negro race…is deemed unsuitable to the climate and requirements of Canada”?
The racial makeup of our country is by design. While P.C 1911 - 1324 never became law, throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Canada prioritized immigration by ethnicity and placed Blacks and other racialized groups at the bottom of the list.
