Asian Heritage Month: How Asian-Canadians have shaped Canada

From building a cross-country railroad, to achieving status as industry pioneers, Asian-Canadians have long contended with exclusionary practices and discriminatory policy.
Yet, despite the countless barriers in place, many have left an undeniable mark on Canadian society through their indomitable spirit.
In the final part of our Asian Heritage Month series, we explore 10 Asian-Canadians who have helped shape Canada into the country it is today.

[@wonderworld1996]

That’s horrible 4 people a day; and they were all nameless in history 😞

[@McHaro0079]

4+ people per mile to be precise.

These Asians did but the wealthy Asians that are coming to Canada buying 5-10 homes and having other Chines citizens pay to have mail mailed to one of the 10. Homes so they have proof of status to collect free Canadian healthcare, but don’t even live in Canada we are paying for Chinese citizens that live in China we are paying for their medical bills. Why is it so hard for the government to see this to catch onto this?

Your ppl have the power to set it up but are embarrassed by your own history. Did I really have to dumb that down for you 💡

[@GJhg-zj3xk]

​@@factsoverfear9771 Okay. May is now white history month and Asian history month is cancelled.

Antiwhite racists would throw a fit, they're obsessed with us.

@@GJhg-zj3xk Your ppl have the power to do it so do it and stop complaining 💡

[@GJhg-zj3xk]

@@factsoverfear9771 Yes, and I just did it. By the power vested in me by my glorious European heritage I have taken away your month and given it to myself. I expect to see white history month celebrated every May from now on, according to your theories on how power works in this country.

Asian Canadians have done far more to build this country than Indigenous Canadians and yet we have to sit and listen to First Nations land acknowledgements. What did Indigenous people do with the land? Nothing.

[@Wonkaforever]

Um it was their land to begin with. Not yours or anyone else’s to steal. If they wanted to do nothing with it, then it was their perogative not yours!

[@derekeliopoulos2670]

They weren't destroying it nearly as much either, and had more sustainable practices too that would've had far more longevity if uninterrupted, but I guess you're only seeing "use" of the land for how much you've changed it.

[@derekeliopoulos2670]

If only they made more parking lots and strip malls
