Should governments of today try to right the wrongs of the past? Yes

I don't believe that it is our government now is to blame. I believe the government back then is to blame, what they did about the Chinese immigrants and the Head Tax was completely unacceptable. They could have dealt with the Chinese immigrants in better ways than what they did.

I believe our government now should try to repair relationships that other governments had wrecked before. The Chinese were treated unfairly and deserve something now for the way they were treated. I also believe they should have set things up so without the Head Tax only a certain number of Chinese could come into Canada without having overpopulation. I think there are two sides to every story.

    I agree with Kayla. My reasoning for this is that its pretty much exactly what i talked about in my thing about the head tax.

    i think that both Justin and Kaylas ideas are both right because what the government did back than wasn't our fault,and shouldn't be our governments fault today. But to make things better now today our government should help pay back for all the wrong done by the government of the past and for all the families who suffered.
