Rest in peace, Mr. Lloyd Robertson. Lots of vivid memories of an immigrant kid growing up and watching the news anchor whom I came to respect. Condolences to Mr. Robertsonโs family!
Happy Birthday Canada! Wonderful celebrations all over GVR. Celebrating our diversity, our freedoms, and the country weโre proud to call home!

PM Stephen Harper rose in the Parliament on June 22, 2006 and formally apologized for the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act. A true and exemplary statesman and a man of his words.
20 years later, today we stand to commemorate together in unity, Canadians of all backgrounds.
Together with the Canadaโs signing of UN Charter of Hunan Rights in 1945 and multiracial movement demanding repeal of anti-Asian legislations, the Chinese Exclusion Act was finally repealed.
1947 Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed on May 14th same year. Change only came after the Second World War. Chinese Canadians joined the war efforts both on battle fields and at home in Canada.
1923 Chinese Exclusion Act (officially the Chinese Immigration Act) was enacted on July 1st. Mandating all Chinese residents in Canada, including those born and raised in Canada, to register with government or risk detainment or deportation.
Kudos to Hanson Lau for vividly telling the story of the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act!
1885 Head Tax imposed on all Chinese migrants, started at $50 and subsequently increased to $500, which was quivalent to two years of wages!
๐จ๐ฆ Marking the 20th anniversary of the redress for the Chinese Head Tax!
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stated that Prime Minister Harperโs apology was a long-overdue justice for a "grave injustice" based on race. Despite facing immense hardships, the Chinese community has always built this country with hard work and determination.
Our sincere thanks to Chak Au, Member of Parliament for Richmond Centre-Marpole, for hosting todayโs commemorative event in Richmond. We are deeply grateful for the immense contributions the Chinese community has made to Canada's prosperity!
"We are all Canadians, of all backgrounds, can build life through hard work here in the best country on earth."
