Senator Yuen Pau Woo questions whether a foreign influence registry might become \u0022a modern form of Chinese exclusion.\u0022
David Wong is a Vancouver architect and activist for redress whose grandfather and great-grandfather were separated due to the Chinese Immigration Act, which effectively barred Chinese immigration until 1947.“I just can’t accept that from a person who’s done nothing except to use our common Chinese ancestry as a way to leverage this sort of history towards whatever he’s trying to do right now,” Wong said.
“You see how many of my followers have reached the conclusion that I should be the first to register?” Woo said about a foreign influence registry. Yan, who was also active in redress campaigns, said he considered Woo’s remarks reflective of a political strategy to use race to deflect attention from critical issues.
In 2006, then prime minister Stephen Harper formally apologized to Chinese Canadians for the head tax and offered payment of $20,000 to roughly 400 survivors or their widows.Article content
