In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Canada imposed a head tax on Chinese immigrants, starting at $50 in 1885 and rising to $500 by 1903—equivalent to two years' wages. Over 82,000 Chinese Canadians paid this tax, totaling $23 million, before the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act banned nearly all Chinese immigration until 1947. This episode explores the stories behind the policy: the railway workers who stayed after the CPR was built, the families separated for decades, the 1907 anti-Asian riots in Vancouver, and the tireless advocacy of figures like Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and the Chinese Canadian community. We discuss the 2006 apology from Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the ongoing legacy of this discriminatory policy. Why did Canada, a nation built by immigrants, turn so harshly against one group? #ChineseHeadTax #ChineseExclusionAct #CanadianHistory #ImmigrationHistory #RacismInCanada #CPRRailway #VancouverRiots1907 #SunYatSen #StephenHarper #ChineseCanadian #HeadTax #ExclusionAct #1867 #1923 #1947 #Discrimination #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
