John A. Macdonald Wanted an ‘Aryan’ Canada

Major cities are rapidly becoming dangerous third-world hell-holes, with
minority crime rates far exceeding those of white Canadians, and
innocents of all races being killed or wounded in the crossfire as black
gangs show no compunction about fighting it out and settling scores in
crowded public places. In 1885, John A. Macdonald told the House of Commons that, if the
Chinese were not excluded from Canada, “the Aryan character of the
future of British America should be destroyed …” This was the precise
moment in the histories of Canada and the British Dominions when
Macdonald personally introduced race as a defining legal principle of
the state. He did this not just in any piece of legislation, but
in the Electoral Franchise Act, an act that defined the federal polity
of adult male property holders and that he called “my greatest
achievement.”
Macdonald’s comments came as he justified an amendment taking the vote
away from anyone “of Mongolian or Chinese race.” He warned that, if the
Chinese (who had been in British Columbia as long as Europeans) were
allowed to vote, “they might control the vote of that whole Province”
and their “Chinese representatives” would foist “Asiatic principles,”
“immoralities,” and “eccentricities” on the House “which are abhorrent
to the Aryan race and Aryan principles.” He further claimed that “the
Aryan races will not wholesomely amalgamate with the Africans or the
Asiatics” and that “the cross of those races, like the cross of the dog
and the fox, is not successful; it cannot be, and never will be.” For
Macdonald, Canada was to be the country that restored a pure Aryan race
to its past glory, and the Chinese threatened this purity.
