  1. Oh what a shocker: no source. -link "You say murder is against the law but people get murdered so clearly it's legal" That's what you sound like here. And people who couldn't pay the tax were...say it with me now...restricted from coming. The idea that the head tax wasn't a restriction on Chinese immigration would be a huge shock to the people who created the head tax to be a restriction on Chinese immigration. 43 years was the amount of time the Chinese exclusion act was in effect, the head Tax was in effect for 30 years before that so tat's 83 out of the first 100 years of Canada's existence as a sovereign state. This is completely ahistorical and factually wrong. You should stuck your head in a paper shredder for writing such abject nonsense. Read a book, you utter dumbf*ck.
  2. He wrote two. They're both in the link above.
  3. In the small-ish town where I grew up in the '80s there was like one South Asian family in town and they lived in an apartment block that became universally known as the "Paki Palace." I remember a column in a major city newspaper about a strike by cab drivers that used the same racial slur and said "it's not just the cabs that are yellow." Native, ch*nk and n***er jokes were everywhere including on the playground. It didn't matter that there were hardly any racialized people in our town; if anything, that made it easier for folks to be racist because they only had bigoted stereotypes to work with. This is of course the world that conservatives want us to return to.
  4. He was a veteran who killed himself in an extremely dumb and comical manner; you're halfway there, you can make it a twofer, I believe in you.
  5. Is the Times still owned by that Korean cult leader?
  6. It's in his manifesto, dumbass. First page. As I said earlier, this guy's views were basically indistinguishable from those of most right wingers on here. Hopefully they follow his lead.
  7. Those 17,000 in BC (I've yet to see a source for this number btw) were basically the entire population in Canada. By 1941, there were 35,000 Chinese people in the entire country, I wonder why they only barely doubled their numbers over that span... It's a restriction, you m0r0n. One specifically designed to deter Chinese immigration. Half the country's history is not a brief period. Actually my math was wrong it was 45 years from the Chinese Exclusion Act to its repeal. Two generations. Because they weren't. As i pointed out there were multiple legal restrictions on non white immigration that you pretend didn't exist because you're retarded. That people came in before those restrictions and some trickled in who could afford to doesn't change that reality.
  8. So because they were a tiny minority it's ok that people were racist towards them? I don't think that's why we had immigration. Whataboutism, we're talking about the attitudes here and the specific claim that there wasn't really any racism here in a country that had extremely racist immigration policies for much of its existence.
  9. LOL is that the story you're telling yourself here? The guy quite explicitly said it was a "wake up call" to start a purge of Democrats by the military. He was a terrorist inciting more terrorism.
  10. That doesn't mean your experience with racism was universal. I doubt those. people who were Indigenous, Asian, Black etc who were around back then would tell the same story. And as I pointed out to DumbFux, Canada's immigration policies were quite explicitly racist for the first half of the country's existence, which kinda undermine's PP's point about racism not really being a thing in the past.
  11. Much less since "Asian" would have included Japanese and Indians among others.
  12. LOl you've never heard of hyperbole, Christ you're lame. Not really, no. The 1881 Census listed 4,383 Chinese in Canada. There may have been more, but we're talking a few thousand, tops. A head tax is literally a restriction, do you not know what words mean? It *restricted* immigration to those who could pay and was explicitly designed to discourage Chinese people from entering Canada after the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. As for this being a brief period, Chinese immigrants were restricted by the Head Tax from 1885 to 1923, at which point they were banned outright until 1968. That's 83 years and damn near the entire first half of this country's history. There was a literal ban on Chinese immigrants for almost 25 years. Note how you can't actually put a number to any of these because it would show how tiny non-white immigration was for the bulk of Canada's history (which, again, was completely by design). The irony of you being a pedantic b!tch because you don't have the reading skills to recognize hyperbole while being completely ignorant of the extent of Canada's historical immigration restrictions is rich. But you should take it up with user @I am Groot. Go tell him he's all wrong about Canada being racially homogenous for most of its history and that Canada prior to 1968 was a rainbow multicultural paradise of acceptance.
  13. Amazing that you can call me uneducated when you seem unaware of the existence of the Head Tax, Chinese Exclusion Act, Immigration Act of 1910 (including the Continuous Journey Regulation) among other race-based restrictions on immigration that served to keep immigration from non-white countries low but I suppose they probably didn't teach that stuff when you were in school in the 1940s. Sure the government was happy to bring in a few thousand Chinese workers to do the dirty work of building the railroad (much to the chagrin of white workers) because they were cheap and disposable, and black workers were imported for low-wage, low-status service jobs but the idea that the presence of these small and ill-treated minorities meant somehow meant non white immigrants were welcome with open arms is utterly absurd. Oh btw Victoria never had a Black mayor. There was a Black guy who served on the city council for two years in 1867. You dipshit.
  14. I love this dude saying he grew up in a homogeneous bubble and then pretending his was a universal experience. For most of Canada's history, white Europeans were the only people allowed to come here (and even some of those groups had restrictions placed on them).
  15. Anyway back to the Cybertruck bomber, let's play a game of "Who said it? Cybertruck bomber or median right wing Repolitics poster?"
  16. That loser has made twice as many posts in two years than I have in 12 years active on this board.
  17. This site has 35 active users. wyd right now, be honest, why are you posting at 7 p.m.
  18. Pollivere is definitely taking Ozempic I wonder if him and JP bonded over what drugs they love best.
  19. Someone that matters to anyone and has anything going on would not post several dozen times a day, hundreds of times a week and thousands of times a year so this is simply more projection. You once again don't seem to grasp that someone not being arsed to do something is not the same as not being able to. I don't want to search; you want to prove it, post it here, c*nt. How can that be when that's never happened? It makes you old and defective. It's like 6:30 your time, shouldn't you be having dinner or something or did they serve that an hour ago in the carehome? Aww it thinks it's people.
  20. These Anaheim Ducks uniforms are wild, but they're growing on me. Still wish they'd gone with the jade and eggplant though.
  21. You literally post hundreds of times a week, even during holidays and were just talking about wasting two hours on this interview, I don't need to fantasize about you being a f*cking loser, you admit it through word and deed. I'm watching the hockey game on my computer and switching windows to see if you're still here online being a f*cking loser. i wonder how long I can keep you on and replying before your caregiver has to drag you away.
  22. And to think a man of his age has never seen a tiddy IRL.
