Today in Labor History February 5, 1917: U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Wilson’s veto. Also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act, it was one of many anti-Asian laws passed by Congress between the 1860s and World War II. However, there were plenty of other xenophobic, nativist and anti-left immigration laws, too. The Immigration Act of 1903 specifically barred Anarchists and epileptics. The Immigration Act of 1882 specifically barred “lunatics, idiots and prostitutes.” The Immigration Act of 1918 and the Sedition Act of 1918 came at the beginning of the First Red Scare. Thousands of Anarchists, Communists, Socialists and labor leaders were arrested, executed, or imprisoned as a result of these laws.

“No Asian Person could be employed in its construction”
This is no surprise given the time (1937), the strong white supremacist links to labour back then (see AW Neill), and the fact it was connecting Vancouver to the rich British Properties that often carried covenants on title banning ownership by Asian individuals (still exist on paper today, but without any legal force).

I had no idea!

The spread of alt-right/neo-Nazi ideology online, especially amongst boys in grade school is a huge problem. Do you know what your boy is watching on Youtube, TikTok or Insta? They get sucked in because it’s being spouted by people that seem “funny” or “smart” or just speak to the insecurities of young boys. It also leads to an unhealthy view and relationship with girls their age.

The people whose ancestors, for centuries, have specialized in DISPLACEMENT are worried about “replacement.”
That’s rich.
In fact, it’s hilarious.
“Replacement theory.”

1/ On this day in 1922, 101 years ago, the newly elected MP for Comox-Alberni, Alan Webster Neill stood in the House of Commons for the first time in what would become a 23 year career, the longest of any MP to represent the area. He retired at the June 1945 election, as WWII was ending.

I mark this day as a reminder of what he said on his very first day and how his words carried him through those 23 years.
