The COVID-19 Pandemic shows the rise of anti-Asian sentiment in Canada, but this is not the first time for many Chinese-Canadians.
In June 2006, over 100 Chinese-Canadians boarded the "Redress Express" from Vancouver to Ottawa. Why are they heading to Ottawa? Why is it called the Redress Express? As the train travels across the nation on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), take a look back in time at the history of the early Chinese workers who helped Canada build it. What follows is a troubled history filled with anti-Chinese policies like the head taxes and the exclusion acts.

Om Beyond The Cycles
Beyond The Cycles is a mini-series about the history of Asian-Canadian communities in Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a rise to the anti-Asian sentiment in North America. Taking an in-depth look at the complex, multi-layered history and geography of Asian-Canadians since the 1880s, particularly within Chinese-Canadian and Japanese-Canadian communities, the podcast seeks to answer the question: “Where did this hate come from?”
