Martin Apologizes

No, not for the Christians imprisoned for protesting against abortion. Not to Scott Brockie fined for refusing to print gay propaganda. Not to the Island bed-and-breakfast operators who lost their livelihood because they refused to submit to a mandatory human-rights indoctrination program. Not to teacher Chris Kempling who lost his job because he expressed the opinion in a local newspaper that homosexuality ought not to be celebrated. No, Paul Martin is apologizing for the Chinese Head Tax. The context? There's an election, and he needs to win it.

Once again the Canadian government is going in for historical revisionism.

At least Mulroney gave money directly to individual Japanese internees.

Here's what PM will do to satisfy his Chinese friends.

"Head tax money goes to Communist-sympathizing group: Even the Liberals' attempt to atone for Canada's Chinese head tax could not escape Communist influence. The money paid for compensation for the tax - $12.5 million - was to be sent in one lump sum payment to the National Chinese Canadian Congress, a group best known "for their cozy relationship with the CCP" (Epoch Times)."

"... nothing intellectually compelling or challenging.. bald assertions coupled to superstition... woefully pathetic"
