I'm not happy with the PM's move to apology for the head tax in parliament. I had nothing to do with that tax, nor did PM Harper so why should we apologize. Just as Trudeau said the son is not responsible for the father's sin. If we dwell on apologizing for every injustice commited, when will...

Apparently the Chinese Head Tax which was in place for Chinese immigrants from 1885-1923 has become a hot topic within the Chinese community, especially in Vancouver. My question is why? Why should a government of 2006 apologize for wrongs committed in the past? As for compensation, how is...
