The tax was abolished by the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, which outright prevented all Chinese immigration except for that of business people, clergy, educators, students, and some others.

To the disappointment of many in the Chinese Canadian community, it was announced that only original head tax payers, or their surviving spouses, then in their nineties, or a total 785 claimants, would receive CAD$20,000 in individual redress, representing less than a fraction of one-percent of the 81,000 original head tax payers.[38] Only an estimated 20 Chinese Canadians who paid the tax were still alive in 2006.
As if Canada didn’t give the Chinese the right to vote till like the 50s
But hey at least they gave a reparation check of 10k to the suviving family members of chinese people who got headtaxed into staying in Canada.
Chinese people need to understand that the perceived acceptance of Quebec/canada for them is all conditional
I've never heard about this and holy shit.
