No one here in North America wants to have anything to do whatsoever with Chinese culture, that land of poverty and overpopulation. An attempt to encroach on the Host culture will backfire. Look to Europe to see how they are repaid for their generosity and how a tipping point is emerging in the Right direction.
As for all of that wasted tax money on embedding foreign cultures into the Host or revisionist propaganda regarding the Head Tax, this all needs to be repaid back to Canada.
Yu knows very well, the Head Tax was completely fair and necessary to Canada's protection from foreign entities and an apology or any restitution is a trick and a theft upon Canada.

This guy is completely unlike any Canadians I met when I was there, embedded in their culture. They were some of the nicest, friendlies people I've ever met. This guy, however, is a dick.
I don't know what world you're living in, but I see folks mildly interested to deeply involved in Chinese culture here in the US.
Chinese food is beloved, eastern philosophy/religion receives strong interest, Chinese language is taught in schools, even Asian architectural design elements have their following.
I admit my location in an area of Los Angeles county which has a high Asian population may bias me a bit, but that's enough to deny the premise that "no one here in North America wants..."

China was producing great art, science, and a monetary system while your ancestors were still praying to a volcano god.
Having been to Gananoque, among other towns in Canada with a robust Chinese population, I can truly say that most Canadians are not dicks like you. Is your name Scott, perchance?
No one here in North America
No one?
Not even one humanities student somewhere in southern California or Walla Walla, Washington?
Not one?
This whole thing is a conglomeration of idiots, both white supremacists and Asian supremacists screaming that they should be in charge because the "other side" is MUCH worse than they are, and both sides ironically using the same stupid arguments and missing that the other side is also using the same stupid arguments.
I don't know about anyone else here, but I can guess why Canada's politicians are somewhat wary of Chinese investments, and it ain't because they're white supremacists or anti-Asian or any of that. It's likely because Chinese investors have a history of sending profits back to China at the expense of the country they're investing in, weakening that country's economy. The USA has shown signs of it over the years.
However, acting like Chinese immigrants to Canada are an invading force is Trump-level stupidity. And blaming multiculturalism of all things? Just WTF?
@Old Viking
Ugh, no, it's some stupid racist thing we did up here at the dawn of the 20th Century, to discourage the yellow hordes from invading our shores and building our precious railroads and thereby unifying the country, while earning a pittance in return and frequently getting killed working the rails. Basically, you were taxed based on how Chinese you were. If you were, oh...Chinese at all, you paid. Not Chinese? Don't worry about it.
This, the internment of Japanese citizens, the Reservation schools, the whole...everything with the First Nations, just the most heinous crime committed by Canada on the human race.
But, at least we know these things happened, steps were taking to rectify them ages ago, and things are much better now that we know how to not be assholes.

We keep Scott away from keyboards. There was a thing, it involved luring teenaged girls, we dealt with it. The dick.
"No one here in North America wants to have anything to do whatsoever with Chinese culture, that land of poverty and overpopulation."
Build a wall between Canada and China. And make China pay for it.
land of poverty and overpopulation
It seems both Chinas (PR and ROC) became richer than they were back in the 1940s.
As for overpopulation, China has now a problem of not enough young people to pay for the elders.
So, that's why you have a couple of China Towns, and why China owns half your ass; because you want nothing to do with them?
You do know that Europeans encroached on the Host culture of Native Americans, when they first came to North America, right?
The Native Americans did and do need protection from foreign entities. Apologies or restitutions are tricks and theft.
Everyone here in Britain wants to have anything to do with Indian culture.
Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in this country. The Indian word 'Juggernaut' is part of the English language, certainly the Marvel universe, bitch.
As per Chicken Tikka Masala - and how it's so ingrained into British culture, curry is now in our DNA - Chop Suey: invented in America.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
