Liberal immigration policies In 1939, Canada’s Navy turned away a ship with 900 Jewish refugees. Forced back to Europe, many died in the Holocaust. When it came to Jews, Liberal policy was that "none is too many." King refused Jewish refugees coming to Canada from Germany and Austria. As he wrote in his diary the previous year: [N]othing is to be gained by creating an internal problem in an effort to meet an international one. We must seek to keep this part of the Continent free from unrest and from too great an intermixture of foreign strains of blood.1
In discussing increased RCMP powers, King said communists "are our real enemies and we must not allow subversive activities to gain headway at this time."2 In 1940, Britain sent thousands of its POWs to Canada. Among them were Jews and communist who had fled the Nazis and their crazed fixation on Judeo-Bolshevik enemies. Aghast, the Liberals sent back as many as they could. Forced to keep 2,000 Jews and 300 Reds, Canada interned them, many until 1943, in army-run POW camps surrounded by guard towers and barbed wire.3 In telling contrast to this "none is too many" policy towards Jews and Reds, the Liberals brought in many thousands of Nazi collaborators from Eastern Europe after the war, including 2,000 Ukrainian veterans of the Waffen SS Galicia. While far-right émigrés welcomed this influx, it was opposed by the Canadian Jewish Congress and the leftwing Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC).4 Canada’s self-image as a multicultural haven is ludicrous to First Nations and others subjected to racial and political bigotry. For generations, official government policies were blatantly racist, antisemitic and anti-Red. Ironically, far-right ethnonationalist émigrés were prime beneficiaries of Canadian multiculturalism. For example, after being the Nazi’s top Ukrainian propagandist in WWII, deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather, Michael Chomiak, was embraced by Canada. Freeland described her grandfather’s intense gratitude for Canada’s warm benevolence: |
I remember his kids once saying something mildly critical of Canada. He pounded his fist on the table and said he’d lived in six countries and Canada was the best in the world.5 References 1.
