Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Jul 1, 2023
Today is Canada Day - and the centennial of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which effectively banned Chinese immigration to Canada between 1923 and 1947. As we confront and remember of this ugly racist history, let's be sure we also learn from it. Happy today to share a column I wrote for the Edmonton Journal on the meaning of this commemoration. Happy to be back, albeit briefly, in the Journal's pages. https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/paula-simons-100-years-after-the-chinese-exclusion-act-lets-learn-from-history #CanadaDay #ExclusionAct #Humiliation Day #Edmonton #Canada #July1
