In tonight’s top story: Canada Day celebrations took place across the nation in a particularly unique manner. David Akin reports on the dozens of permanent residents who swore an oath and became Canadian citizens at a national event in Ottawa, making the day even more special for some.
Canada Day, however, is reflected upon in a different manner by many Chinese-Canadians and Chinese immigrants. The exclusion act, a controversial law implemented in 1923 halted Chinese immigration to Canada. Marking 100 years since it became law, a museum in Vancouver has opened to educate the often-overlooked legislation. Mike Drolet reports.
Also, a strike is now underway for more than 7,000 port workers in B.C., halting a large portion of trade and shipping in Canada and putting the supply chain at risk. Travis Prasad has the latest.
And, there’s a new law in South Korea that changes how millions of peoples’ ages are counted, making citizens unexpectedly younger overnight. Mike Armstrong explains.
