Did we know? The British brought laborers from British India
to build the Uganda Railway (1896-1901), and workers later settled there. Under
Idi Amin in 1972, the Asians were expelled from Uganda. A familiar story?
Canada hired Chinese laborers to build the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to
connect Eastern Canada with the Pacific (1881-1885). Most of them settled in
Canada and built Chinatowns in major cities, but further immigration was
stopped with the Chinese Exclusion Act (1923-1947)… Fast forward to present North
America where most industries move with the brains and muscles of migrant
workers. From Silicon Valley to the farms of Ontario, how are they faring?
