Apparently Steven Harper agreed to apologize to the Chinese for something that happened 120 years ago. How Canadian. Someone runs us over with their car and we apologize for denting their bumper. It's amusing to see people today criticize the leaders of the past for their decisions, as though we can say their decisions were wrong even though the times were far different. Our leaders at the time knew China was a huge place, Canada had a small population, and to allow unrestrained immigration from China would soon overwhelm Canadians. Imagine how many would have come if there was no head tax. We would be China II right now. Instead of the Western way flourishing here, the Eastern philosophy would flourish and Canada would be a far different place today. Let me tell you something bluntly: Those Chinese who paid the head tax were lucky to come here. If a stranger asks to stay at your house and you say, "Okay, but you have to pay me $50 per day." you are *not* a bad person. You don't have to apologize for asking for compensation. It is your home and you are entitled to make whatever offer you want. Canada owes no apology to anyone they have allowed into the country. Apparently 81,000 came here and paid the tax. Enough said. - B

Wait till there is not many 'victims left' and pay a minimal amount (vs billions much more recently to such crimes' Its more tokenism then anything in terms of taking responsibility for such government behavior. The head tax as i see is not much of an issue for me personally, maybe it could have been conducted better but the main concept being to help stem the tide of immigration is something all countries do. No nation will warmly welcome a massive large influx of people who are different. Doing so would change language , culture, customs and eventually laws.

He's just trying to make himself look good, by doing something too
many years too late. Politicians seem to think that gestures of good
will, at any time for any amount, will increase their popularity.
Good luck, "Steve".

I must have missed that. It's called sarcasm, look into it. I heard that Harper wants to give $20000 per head for those who paid the tax. In contrast, he gives single parents $1200 a year for child care, which is obviously not adequate.

Apparently someone hasn't been to Richmond BC in a while. I have nothing against the Chinese of course, but they are a majority now in some parts of Canada.

I think Chinese vote conservative more than Liberal. They've seen both the leftist Socialist system (mainland China) compared side by side with free markets (Hong Kong) and they judge accordingly. Harper didn't have to do this and I agree, it won't get him any more votes. - B

And THEeeeen...we can get all the Chinese gangs of our larger cities to apologize for importing so much MORE wonderful crime and those awesome drugs. Anyone remember the incident a few years ago in Moncton where one chap had his achilles (sp?) tendon cut so he could not run away? Well everyone, as we all know the 'true' Canadian identity is LONG gone. Those in power put E V E R Y T H I N G ahead of the beaver, Maple Leaf, Mountie hats...the works and almost SHAME everyone else who doesn't. I LOVE the cultural identities but once here, we...and I DO say WE...ARE CANADIANS FIRST...or so we were lead to believe for so long. PUT THE FLAG IN THE CLASSROOMS...BRING BACK THE BIBLE...I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NON-CHRISTIAN PASSAGES INTRODUCED TOO for the benefit of non-Christian kids in that particular classroom. Interesting...seeing the MultiCulturalism at Alderney Landing and at work at a certain bldg on Highfield Park Drive...IT'S ALL THERE...except Anglo-Saxon...hmmm...let's see NEW SCOTLAND. NADA...NOTHING...for pete sake...we don't promote ourSELVES while endorsing others. Methinks we're now scared to speak out for fear of being tagged with the R word. So...apologize...perhaps.

Why bother reasoning with those self-labelled white trash? My advice to the Chinese -- in China and anywhere else -- is keep up with your hard-working habit and become richer and richer. The world is run by money, and Chinese are going in the right direction.
