In 1914, Canada was at war. The Public was gripped with a fear that terrorists might be lurking among the recent wave of Ukrainian immigrants. To deal with this perceived threat, the government of Sir Robert Borden introduced The War Measures Act and rounded up thousands of Ukrainians, sending them to 24 concentration camps across the country. As the war dragged on, many prisoners were paroled and forced to work without pay for some of Canada's most profitable companies.
