Thank you. I still have my father's receipt for $500 head tax. He loved Canada very much.

I disagree … Singapore is a more successful multi culture society than Canada. P.S. I am Canadian so I can say that with out bias.

I wonder what were the reasons of the head tax? Were they similar to the reasons of Chinese Exclusion act in US?

Hear yet another parable: There was a man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and encircled it with a fence, and built a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to husbandmen, and was absent from it. if away. And when the time of fruit arrived, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive their fruit. And the husbandmen, seizing the servants, smote one, killed another, and stoned another. Then he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. And lastly he sent his son unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. And taking hold of him, they dragged him out of the vineyard and killed him. So when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?

How many people were allowed in China at the time? Asking for a friend.

Thank you for this report. I either wasn't paying attention during history classes, or the education department feels this isn't worthy of study. To the Chinese, I am happy you are forgiving; your culture has much to offer. Thank you.❤

Global news always, ALWAYS states one side. No countries have a squeaky clean history, we learn from it and we move fwd.

You better keep an eye on France and see where you are heading Canada

"None now live,who remember it"- Galadra Lotr.

*"70-year humiliation under the CCP 🇨🇳."* Historians wrote about Chinese civilization.

Thanks, KZfaq, for making these educational videos almost unwatchable. A 2-minute commercial for a 3-minute video is ridiculous and Draconian! Try making your commercials in proportion to the video that is being played!! Bravo!!

If you condemn the treatment of Chinese Canadians 100 years ago...then you should openly voice your opposition to Uyghurs "reeducation" camps NOW, else it's just pure hypocracy.

What is the point of trying to make us feel guilty for the actions of others 100 years ago? The world was a much different place. Maybe we should be celebrating the fact that this no longer happens in Canada and move on.

Why do people keep turning to the past and apologize for things that were normal at that time? - China 🇨🇳 has never apologized for the *ongoing Tibetian and Uyghur genocide.*

Now we have chinese police station monitoring the 'behaviour' of chinese canadian.This is a absolute insult.

Funny how you never hear them complain about it....

Sheesh the amount of hateful and ignorant comments here. Seek help from a professional please, instead of spreading your bitter toxicity online.

Boring 🙄

Guilt, Guilt, Guilt and more Guilt. This is the idealogue's prescription for National Pride. Any observant person understands that when they dwell on their shortcomings, they become smaller and effectively destroy themselves. Learn from the past, make changes, and be proud of the changes you have made. However, do not linger in shame. If you do, ask yourself who is controllling you... and what are they trying to accomplish?

Doom n gloom from global news on Canada Day is typical. Happy Canada Day to everyone else! 🇨🇦

How much longer do we have to live in the past? My family immigrated here, on both sides, my dad’s father fled Russia, during the bolshevik revolution, fight for Canada in the First World War, received massive problem, won’t injuries on his arm as in a result of that conflict. During the Second World War, my father lost his old is brother in France at age 20. My father served in the Korean War. On my mother side, they fled Ireland in the late 1940s. They were bullied and picked on every day. Those were different times, things have changed . We choose not to live in the past, but we learn from them instead. I’m done with all these victim cards, I’m sorry what happened to the Chinese, but I was a long time ago . What we can do this we can talk about recent Chinese immigration and some of the issues such as tens of billions of dollars being laundered through our casinos. Secret police stations. Major part of the opioid problem, counterfeiting, sex, trafficking, need to go on?

Yea the Chinese head tax was a thing! But its over, history - amazing!

I don't believe it is necessary for governments to apologize for the wrongdoings in the past; though it is a very well-meaning gesture. I agree and believe it is the responsibility of the media to report so people will be reminded from time to time what we have done wrong and learn from it. The issue here is not how other governments or countries, including China, treated the Chinese; it is how we Canadian at that time, who regarded ourselves as superior to other races, treated the Chinese workers. It is human nature to want to find better places for themselves and their children. The flow of immigration is always from worse to better places. Therefore, it is absolutely wrong to think that it is okay to treat newcomers poorly based on what they used to be treated in their home countries.

Where is the day for the Irish who were the first slaves in North America, where's the recognition for the Irish...... enough of this cherry picking victims. Every culture every race every country participated in slavery so enough already, subject closed.

Lives was extremely tough for most people a century ago including many white anglo saxons.

How many Chinese canada s are 100 years old?

Reasons for Uyghur detention in one of 380 Xinjiang, China camps include: - having a beard, - wearing a veil, - applying for a passport, - praying, - downloading WhatsApp and - having too many children.

my mothers side of the family is of irish and scottish decent. my paternal grandfather is full haida indian. the ancestors from both sides of my family had horrendous experiences at the hands of others. china's human rights violations are going on to this day. my advice to everyone is to get over it and make the best life you can for you and your family and quit whining about what has happened in the past.

Trudeau needs to go!

Great - an indigenous Governor-General who doesn't mind pursuing indigenous claims - a Chinese mayor Toronto who is pursuing Chinese rights. Isn't Canada supposed to be a country of equality of gender, race, religion?

No one forced the China people to come to Canada, they came here voluntarily and they were seeking a salary higher than the salary in China during that period which was a complete disaster for any human to live in. As a matter of fact, there was almost no legitimate government in China during that period of time. So to say that China people were ill treated, at least say that they came here, knowing that, unlike Africans who were dragged here against their will.

Maybe its time for everyone to just go their separate ways? The party is over, everyone can head home.

You can’t even take one day to not guilt Canadians?

FREE THE UYGHURS!

I’m almost sure they were treated better here than they were at home or they wouldn’t have come here 🤔🤔

Couldn’t have been that bad. Thousands still managed to weasel there way in. You wanna talk about “humiliation”? Take a look at some of their country’s policies.

❤💯

In China they exclude, to this day and will tommorow so they should understand about this act

✌️☕️😎

Let's remember to NOT be afraid to have the conversation. ALL Canadians need to be aware and discuss our daily problems with mutual respect...like the problem of Chinese communist interference in our country. This is not on our Chinese Canadians and the exclusion in the past is not on any Canadians. Let's converse and move on together to be the strongest and best for ALL.

1947 isn’t that long ago. My mom remembers 1947 well. Some thanks for building the railroad. Stephen Harper did a lot of terrible things that have lead to suffering and death but he went through with a few things like this that he wasn’t responsible for creating but did do the PM role for.

Deport

these Chinese were treated WORSE in China , slaves less than dogs in home land China. Why do they keep leaving these little troublesome facts out ? At least there was HOPE in Canada .

Liberals then , liberals now … Remember that ….

I bet it happens again with in the next 5 years. Happy Canada day

I am not a generalist but it appears that Chinese people don't like this. They virtually controlled the corner store industry for the last 100 years but they are choosing to observe the anniversary of something they consider bad rather than celebrating their milestone accomplishment? I like the Chinese but I am not onboard with this endeavour. I wish them continued success in the retail sector, though.

Then leave. These stories do nothing but cry about canada. You want to discuss chinas bad things?

Propaganda... Lol 😅

You never hear vietnamese complain of the past done to them. And it was the most recent past war. Didn't end that long ago.

I have zero guilt, and don’t care about the virtue signalling, Canada Day will always be a day of Celebration for Canadians, cope more

Sorry we’ve all been persecuted at some point in history. Time to stop whining and move on and up 👍🏼

was reasonable then, and is reasonable now

Who cares ... they weren't brought to Canada in chain. Should I have issue paying to enter countries in 2023
