If a picture is worth a thousand words, a tweet can be worth at least a 100 carefully crafted news releases.
Take the following tweet, for example: “…now get them the f — outta here cuz most are false asylum seekers. They had their free vacay, now it’s time to go!”

More than just an isolated “incident”, The Komagata Maru story reflects a deliberate, exclusionary policy of the Canadian government to keep out ethnicities with whom it deemed unfit to enter. These justifications were couched in racist and ethnocentric views of “progress”, “civilization”, and “suitability” which all buttressed the view that Canada should remain a “White Man’s Country”.
