Thank you for sharing your wiki entry. I agree that the Chinese Head Tax was a great injustice and a clear example of racism in Canadian history. I enjoyed that you included the apology at the end. Even though the apology does not rectify the hardships and racism that these Chinese endured, it did provide closure to the matter.

A suggestion that I have for improvement is that you could elaborate on what the consequences of Head Tax was. Everyone knows that Head Tax was a bad thing, but why was it bad? How was Head Tax an example of injustice/racism in Canada? Was it common for immigrant groups to be oppressed at this time, or were these actions only targeted against the Chinese in Canada? How were the Chinese able to regain equality (if this ever happened)?

Thank you for sharing.
