Politicians, the media, and an array of interest groups viewed it as essential to nation building, developing the economy, and shaping Canada's social and cultural character. One of the groups most determined to influence public debate and government policy on the issue was organized labour, and unionists were often relentless critics of immigrant recruitment. Guarding the Gates is the first detailed study of Canadian labour leaders' approach to immigration, a key battleground in struggles between different political factions within the labour movement. This book provides new insights into labour, immigration, social, and political history. 606 $aLabor unions$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aForeign workers$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aRace discrimination$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aSyndicats$zCanada$xHistoire 606 $aImmigrants$xTravail$zCanada$xHistoire 606 $aDiscrimination raciale$zCanada$xHistoire 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xEmigration et immigration$xPolitique gouvernementale$xHistoire 607 $aCanada$xEmigration et immigration$xHistoire 615 0$aLabor unions$xHistory. 615 0$aForeign workers$xHistory. 615 0$aRace discrimination$xHistory. 615 6$aSyndicats$xHistoire. 615 6$aImmigrants$xTravail$xHistoire. 615 6$aDiscrimination raciale$xHistoire. 676 $a331.880971/09041 700 $aGoutor$b David$f1969-$01712108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811390703321 996 $aGuarding the gates$94103975 997 $aUNINA
