  5. Here also is the latest episode of Alberta Unbound, in which I speak to panelists Gary Mar, K. Linda Tzang, Nathan Ip and Teresa Woo-Paw about the meaning of the Chinese Exclusion Act to them, their families, and our province. Such an honour to host this vital conversation. open.spotify.com/episode/7CfjX #ChineseExclusionAct #ExclusionAct #HumiliationDay #CanadaDay #Alberta #ableg #Canada #July1 #abpoli #cdnpoli #AlbertaUnbound

  7. 100 years ago, the Canadian government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, slamming the door on Chinese immigration to Canada. A century later, I rose in the Senate to deplore the Act's dark legacy, to celebrate the Chinese Canadians who excelled despite the Act's terrible racism, and to warn us against the dangers of returning to xenophobia and anti-Chinese bigotry. I hope you'll listen/watch. youtube.com/watch?v=sWqyEaDg9Q #ChineseExclusionAct #HumiliationDay #Canada #China #SenateofCanada #history
