郭晓明博士专栏

In the vast tapestry of our nation’s narrative, there exists a pivotal moment—a century-old scar that still bears its weight upon our collective conscience. Today, as we stand on the precipice of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we are compelled to confront this dark chapter in our history. Its indelible mark of discrimination and injustice has shaped our society, leaving a lasting impact on the fabric of our nation. It is in this solemn moment that we advocate ardently for the establishment of Chinese Railroad Workers Day, a national statutory holiday that not only pays homage to the remarkable contributions of Chinese Canadians but also serves as a beacon of unity and a testament to our shared commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive Canada.
