The Pearson Government changed the Immigration Act in 1965, and initially there was no noticeable change. But as the word spread through out the 3rd world the new comers began to come. This is when you began to notice it, but a number of Canadians did take the time to help them. I recall that we would explain to the other men, and the women did the same with their female counterparts, that you had to shower daily and we explained anti perspirant and how you washed clothes, change clothes etc. Initially this was very successful but then political left stuck their noses into the picture and we would be accused of racism. A number of people just gave up and any chance of assimilation began to disappear. I don't have to tell any of you that live in the larger cities what happens when you happen to walk into the large subsidized housing units today.
