The prime minister's official government of Canada website says,"On May 23, 1914, a steamship arrived in Vancouver carrying 376 passengers who had hopes for a new life in Canada. After a long journey from India, the majority of the passengers – who were of Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu origin – were denied entry into Canada due to the laws in existence at the time."

At the pride festival, shouts of"free Palestine" could be heard from the parade crowd, but many people appeared largely pleased to see Trudeau.
