William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s Longest Service Prime Minister Was Right About Immigration
“Canada is perfectly within her rights in selecting the persons whom we regard as desirable future citizens […] There will, I am sure, be general agreement with the view that the people of Canada do not wish, as a result of mass immigration, to make a fundamental alteration in the character of our population. Large-scale immigration from the Orient would change the fundamental composition of the Canadian population.“
— Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King
