Stephen Harper and Legislative Assembly of British Columbia

Legislative Assembly of British Columbia: Last Thursday, the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia finally passed a motion to apologize to Chinese Canadians, according to Globe and Mail. Eight years ago, after he became prime minister, Stephen Harper moved promptly to offer an apology and It continues to be shocking that, as recently as 1947, there was explicit institutional racism against Chinese immigrants to Canada. Canada as a whole was deeply implicated. Though B.C. was the province chiefly concerned, the two most important laws that discriminated against Chinese immigrants were passed by the Parliament of Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
