It was all an extension of the 'Yellow Peril' that gripped WASPY North America and other Anglo nations. Australia maintained a strict anti Asian immigration policy right up until the 1970s

His appointment, he says, shows how much Canada has grown in the past century.

“There are scars on our history, but we can’t dwell on that past, and we can’t change it. We must learn from it,” he says.

“The best way to learn from it is to ask ourselves if we’ve made change … and we have made change. Me sitting here is that one greatest example of it.”
