Discrimination During World War I What is Discrimination? What is Prejudice? Who is discriminated against? Native Canadians Black Canadians German Canadians Women

Racism - Native Canadians At first, barred from joining the army Recruiters disguised this prejudice as concern for their welfare “enemy will think you’re a savage and mistreat you!” When we needed more troops, Native Canadians were allowed to join – many fought bravely 35% of Ontario’s Aboriginal men of military age had enlisted in the army by 1918 (equal to % of enlistments from across Canada)
