"For many years the seasonal canning factory workers, many of whom were 'imported,'" the officials explained, "have been looked upon as more menial than housemaids." To remedy the wartime labour shortages and thus to ensure the essential production of foodstuffs not only for Canadians at home but also for Canadian and allied soldiers at the front, the officials urged churchmen "to preach basic equality of human beings, humility and the danger of bigotry." 1 Who were these "imported" workers in the fields, orchards and canneries of Niagara that so derogated cannery work in early 20th-century Ontario? Today, when Ontarians, especially in Niagara, hear of "imported" seasonal agricultural labourers they tend to think of workers-most of them male-brought to Canada under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme from the Caribbean and Mexico. But that programme is relatively recent: it was introduced only in 1966. Southern Ontario growers and canners, however, have relied on "imported" labour since the turn of the 20th century.

The article compares the social origins and implementation of Ontario's Fair Employment Practices Act-which combatted racist and religious discrimination-with Ontario's Female Employees Fair Remuneration Act-which mandated equal pay for women who did the same work as men. Although a few feminists called for the Fair Employment Practices Act to prohibit sex discrimination as well, their pleas fell mainly on deaf ears in this period. Men and women who fought against racist injustice were frequently unaware of gender injustice, for they, like so many others, subscribed to the deeply embedded ideology of the family wage. Conversely, some of the most outspoken advocates of women's rights were unconscious of-or chose to ignoreracism. At the same time, some of the most committed advocates of equal pay for equal work actually reinforced certain conventional assumptions about men's gender privilege at work and at home. Moreover, while the enforcement of both acts was constrained by the conciliatory framework embedded within them, the government officials who were charged with applying both acts interpreted the equal pay act quite narrowly and were significantly more diligent in tackling racist and religious employment discrimination.
