Abstract
- The First World War changed the Canada-U.S. border forever. From the beginning it placed incredible pressure on a fledgling immigration apparatus weakly supported by the Canadian federal government. This article carefully examines how the government and immigration agents stationed along the actual border responded to new threats to national security between 1914 and 1918. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
