POD, after Australia began enacting 'white Australia' policies the federal and provincial governments of Canada looked into doing something similar, but found any restriction on immigration based on race, religion, or country of origin to be impossible / unconstitutional.
What are the effects? (Assume major world events like world wars and the spread of communism aren't butterflied away.)
IOTL the asians of many towns in the west reached a third of the population before their immigration was restricted; without restriction could they have become a majority? How much larger might Canada's 2016 population be? Would racial tensions escalate or decrease with an even larger 'visible minority' population? Would Canada push harder for european immigrants, or to integrate other nearby british territories in an attempt to increase the white population?
