Canada, for all its positive reputation today, has NOT a very meritful history. Before
World War Two Toronto, for example, was
dominated by the
Orange Order, and was a particularly
Anti-Semitic place.
In the thirties, there were the Swastika Riots in Christie Pits Park in Toronto. And it was not uncommon to see signs that read No Dogs or Jews Allowed.
In this same decade, there was the shameful story of the ship full of Jewish children, attempting to escape the Holocaust, or Shoah, in Europe, that was NOT given safe harbour anywhere. It was refused entrance to Canada, too!
Eventually it returned to Hitler's Europe, where its precious cargo was exterminated in the camps.
In fact, in the seventies, I saw, as grafitti, the above slogan, No Dogs or Jews Allowed, at Carleton University in Ottawa.
