Immigration ban targets Hutterites and Mennonites in Canada
A 1919 order by the Governor General bars entry to Canada for Doukhobor and Mennonite groups. The measure cites wartime conditions and concerns over assimilation, saying Hutterites and Mennonites are unlikely to become Canadian citizens promptly. The notice, issued under Section 27, stays in effect until further order.
