dc.description.abstractengMy documentaries, I hope, present counter narratives to the dominant imaginative fantasies of Canadian nationalism that refuse to see the colonial histories being played out in the contemporary migrant worker programs. Migrant labor programs are not new concepts. They are engineering the racial make-up of Canada’s citizenry as they always have. The contemporary versions in practice today are extensions of historic labor schemes developed by the Canadian state to designate the “preferred citizen” according to class and race. Canada’s colonial history institutionalized the wholesale genocide of the indigenous peoples of the land. The erasure of the First Nations’ histories and cultures from Canada’s history has been actively resisted by Indigenous communities today, a resistance that challenges the whitewashing of Canada’s roots. It is imperative to remember how deeply entrenched labor and immigration programs were and continue to be in fostering the imaginative fantasy of Canada as white. Canada’s national railways were built in the 1800s by Chinese railroad workers who paid exorbitant fees in the form of head taxes to work in the dangerous sites, laying the train tracks that would eventually literally make national unity feasible. eng
