"Today was a historic moment as the House of Commons voted unanimously to support a plan that would resettle to Canada 10,000 Uyghur Muslims who have been displaced by horrible conditions in China.
"Thank you Sameer Zuberi for all your leadership in moving this motion forward."

CW: Canadian immigration - anti-Semitic exclusion
The juxtaposition of the immigration statistics of Jewish immigration to Canada through the 1930s and the discussion, in 1938, of the possible "extinction" of Jews in Europe by the senior civil servant in Canadian immigration at the time...

Working with images around arrival, inclusion, and exclusion in the history of Canadian immigration again today.... one of my favourites is the collection of my home institution, the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. This is a picture of the Meijer family at Pier 21, waiting to join the train inland, in July of 1957.
If you're curious, the family took many beautiful images during their journey. See them in the museum's collection here: https://5104.sydneyplus.com/final/portal.aspx?lang=en-US&g_AABF=meijer&d=d

Some great historical footage of the waterside of the immigration facility at Pier 21 in Halifax. We see the Port Authority offices, shed 20, and shed 21. You can see the railway hotel in the background, the Nova Scotian. On the harbour side of that hotel, between shed 20 and the back entrance of the hotel, there used to be a beautiful rose garden.

CW: Canadian immigration history, health, and exclusion
One of the projects I have bubbling along is gathering up some key images regarding inclusion and exclusion of immigrants to Canada based on health. Health, of course, was a long-running factor in determining desirability in what is currently Canada. I often recall a letter of Jean Talon (intendant of New France) from 1667, which more or less sits comfortably alongside the "points system" of some 300 years later. (https://pier21.ca/research/immigration-history/immigration-regulations-order-in-council-pc-1967-1616-1967)
In it he pretty clearly frames out what remains one on the continuous threads of Canadian immigration preference: settlers should be between 16 and 40, and in good mental and physical health.

CW: Pseudo-scientific racism - medical exclusion - Canadian immigration history
So, I'm doing a very quick little round-up of health-related exclusion (and inclusion) in Canadian immigration history, and it gave me an opportunity to revisit one of my favourite examples of pseudo-scientific cover for racist exclusion.
This was the "hookworm" exclusion effort in Canadian immigration. Hookworm is an intestinal parasite that typically enters a host who is walking barefoot in areas with compromised sanitation (fecal contamination), and it was believed to be very common in immigrants seeking entry into Canada from India and elsewhere in Asia.

If you're a student of #CdnImm, you may find the collection of #immigration legislation here useful. The primary sources are presented along with short contextual notes.

CW: Fire, immigration facilities, and pants
Fire absolutely bedeviled the #immigration facilities in Halifax, Canada. In 1895, fire destroyed the immigration shed in February, and then took out one of the piers they were using for makeshift accommodation in May. In 1905, a small fire nearly took out the immigration building while it was under renovation. In 1933, the former immigration shed was destroyed by fire. And in 1944, in the thick of its alternate (and attempted to be secret) identity as Canada's main ocean embarkation point during the Second World War, fire ripped through the #Halifax
immigration shed, burning it down to the steelwork (and damaging the steel enough that it had to be replaced, too).As one might imagine, there are lots of stories around this, but one of my favourites remains the Tragedy of the Pants. The 1905 fire was staved off by quick action by the local immigration agent and a steamship agent, both of whom proved handy with fire extinguishers... but the chemicals destroyed their clothing. So they wrote to the government for replacements... and the invoices for their trousers, along with their complaints, are now A Part of Our Heritage, held at LAC.

The recent UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration follows and builds upon a long history of intergovernmental efforts to build standards between nations that shape and control human movement. This long history of cooperation and collaboration is one of many reasons the hue and cry about sovereignty of border control felt a little contrived to me, not to say maliciously misrepresentative in order to prey on ignorance.
One early iteration of this effort?
The Provisional Intergovernmental Committee for the Movement of Migrants from Europe (early 50s).
Yup. They called it PICMME.

CW: Kristallnacht / Holocaust / #CdnImm
9-10 November 1938 was Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass.
At least three hundred Jews died either immediately or in the "protective custody" that followed their arrest and detention as part of the pogrom.
In #CdnImm history, our federal government and its agents were busy keeping out as many refugees, and in particular, Jewish refugees, as possible during the 1930s.

Did an interview with a TV journalist today on the wartime role of Pier 21 during the Second World War - normally, a #CdnImm major port of entry, but converted in wartime to be the main embarkation point for Canadian military personnel headed to the European theatre. About 400k deployed / returned through the site.

Well, time for an #introduction! I am a historian of #CdnImm, working at the Canadian Museum of Immigration (one of Canada's national museums, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia).
Working for the museum means I do a variety of #PublicHistory projects. My research supports exhibits, I do public talks and presentations, sometimes I do specialized tours, I do media interviews, and of course I do more and less structured support for academics at various levels, from guest lecturing to "toss me that archival thing." You can see some of my blogs for the museum regarding various aspects of #CdnImm (Black exclusion, Depression-era Deportation, family status and migration, and much more) here: https://pier21.ca/taxonomy/term/34
I had the pleasure of co-authoring a book recently with my colleague Jan Raska on the history of the site of the museum, Pier 21: https://press.uottawa.ca/pier-21.html (available in French, too, thanks awesome press!).
The museum I work for has an ongoing and active #OralHistory program; I work with the interviews now but haven't been regularly interviewing in a while. It's how I started with the museum, though, and I contributed to interviewing for about a decade.
I am also the Chair of the Canadian Historical Association's public history working group. If you're a public historian in Canada, hit me up to keep in touch with the group! https://cha-shc.ca/affiliates/puhg.htm
Otherwise, you can expect parenting, biking, cats, and other things here too, along with probably some occasional but not-too-snippy politics on particular topics like public health, active transportation, and climate / environment measures.
