Apology for head-tax eh?

So it looks like the government is finally getting around to apologizing for the Chinese Exclusion Act way back in the day. It's kinda unclear whether or not they will be paying people back, I'm assuming not. At least an apology will be given as the Conversatives, NPD and Bloc have all said they were going to, which forces the Liberals to redress their former no-apology thing. Thank god. I'd like to see how this plays out, I'm glad that this is finally happening seeing as my mom's side had to pay that damn tax and live through some hard times because of that. I mean, with 9 children and having to spend all your money to get into the country...where the hell does that leave you? Working on the railroad where so many chinese people died.

So really, there better damn well be an apology, but I want a sincere apology rather than one forced on by the Liberals. In the paper today they showed that most of the high populated chinese-canadian areas (hahah, they named Markham-Unionville as the first and highest!) were Liberal controlled areas and these votes are signifcant in 22 ridings. So you better damn well apologize Paul Martin. I think I'm voting NDP anyways, though I'm fairly certain they will not win in my riding.

In other news, I'm back at school for the new semester. Went to my first class today at 10am, had intro to climatology. I know you all think my studies are stupid, but meh, I really enjoyed it! My prof was really nice and seemed like he genuinely wanted to teach us which was refreshing. He didnt want to make us spend money to buy a huge expensive textbook, so he photocopied all his slides and all we have to pay is $4. He writes everything on the board and goes through things pretty thoroughly with decent examples. I'm kinda annoyed that it's 3hrs spread through 3 days at 10am...but well, at least it gets me up? hahaha...schedule time for Brad!

Okay, now it's time to go read some fan-fiction...Damn you fatima! DAMN YOU!
