Canada built the railway with Chinese imigrants who paid head tax to come here. Those imigrant (males) were given the vote in Canada before native born women were even considered. I think someone should apologise and economically compensate the wrong of my Gandmothers generation. What about everyone else.

Get organized and get your lobby group together if that's what you want. The headtax apology didn't just jump out of thin air, and now Harper can count on increased support from the Chinese community in the next election. If you can deliver votes to him, I'm sure he would be very interested.

In a democracy, electorate have the right to vote. they have the right to opt for representatives to talk for them in any respect stages of authorities. Now, although, I do have an difficulty with vote casting on certain issues--in certain, college budgets. the position I stay (ny, lengthy island), our resources taxes are very severe. you at the instantaneous are not getting to vote on the different budget--no longer city, no longer county, no longer state, and genuinely no longer Federal--yet each would, those who comprehend genuinely no longer something about the colleges or what is going into the budget, get to vote on it. Districts make judgements in accordance to no matter if or not they could pass the budget, no longer in accordance to what's desirable for the students. And, vote casting sure will probaby strengthen your taxes. that is a demanding promote, incredibly to senior electorate and others who've no little ones in college, and it purely would not look a thanks to do it.

I think we as Canadians have to stop apologizing or it will never end. Maybe we should just wipe the slate clean. Hell, then there are also the Japanese refugees, Germans treated badly in WWII, modern refugees, Muslims. The list is endless and apologizing to them does nothing to solve the modern problems.
