  • You can experience a full Chinese holiday and the culture behind it in China. I don’t understand dedicating a whole month to Chinese culture and what it’s being to the table for Canada.

    Bringing up old policies and treaties from over 100 years ago and acting like anyone alive today is negatively impacted by them is disingenuous.

    One could also argue the exclusivity of the Chinese community in British Columbia that refuses to do business with anyone but Chinese nationals, like their exclusive taxi services.

    There’s a reason we don’t have “German History Month” or “Australian Heritage Month.” It has nothing to do with Canada and it’s culture. If you’re Chinese, and you move here, there is a distinct Chinese-Canadian culture you can go to. If you desire a more catered Chinese experience you can travel to China.

    If the goal is education, there is no benefit to Chinese heritage that justifies Canada having an entire month dedicated to it.

    This. Is. Dumb.
