Many #ChineseCanadians call #DominionDay aka #CanadaDay - #HumiliationDay & don't celebrate.

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.
