[Min Shan Shih v the Queen 2000 DTC 2072 – Residence]

Read the Tax Court of Canada case Min Shan Shih v the Queen 2000 DTC 2072 and explain in your own words the reason for the decision in the case.

    Despite the argument that in the beginning of the 1900's, Canada's immigration policy was the most unrestrictive one, compared to those of other nations, from a history student's point of view in 2007, the "Open Door Policy" seems to have been quite selective about who it allowed entry into Canada. The fundamental factor that made the Canadian immigration policy a major hindrance to many types of people who wanted to emigrate was the prejudice with which the Canadians developed many beliefs. One of most significant of all was their racism over Asians. An epitome of a government action that was discriminating against Asians was the dramatic increase of the Chinese head tax in 1904, from $50 to what is ten times greater than that, $500. To compound…

    A poll found that “… for every one Canadian who wants to abolish the monarchy, two want to preserve it ”(Citation). This means that the are double the amount of people who are in favour of keeping the monarchy than there are people who want to get rid of it. Furthermore, this poll unanimously shows that the Canadian public see some value of having an active constitutional monarchy. Although the monarchy has lost much of its power and now plays only a small role in politics. they are still relevant in modern day society. One of the biggest arguments against Canada keeping the British Monarchy is cost to the Canadian tax payers. In a time of financial uncertainty, such as right now, all additional costs will receive extra scrutiny; the British Monarchy is a victim of this. However it has been estimated that the cost of the British Monarchy is $1.53 per person per year (Citation). Although many may look at this expense as unnecessary, it does serve a purpose. In addition this expense is so little that the average Canadian would most likely not even notice any difference if they did not have to pay the additional…

    While accomplishing his goal of a bilingual Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau encountered enormous opposition. In 1969, the Official Languages Act was passed by parliament and bilingualism became law. According to Sauerwein, “The Act asserted both French and English had to be spoken at federal institutions” (Sauerwein 71). Trudeau’s commitment to bilingualism was fueled by his desire to give French Canadians an equal place in Canadian society. One of his chief arguments was that there was prejudice towards francophones in the employment of civil service workers. As observed by Gwyn, “in the mid-1960’s, francophones were 27 percent of the national population, but held only 10 percent of all civil service posts” (Gwyn 35). As part of the new act, bilingualism became a requirement for all civil service workers. Trudeau’s ideology was that these new rules would ensure equal treatment, but unfortunately, not everyone felt this way. For nine days in June 1976, all Canadian airlines grounded their planes. Air traffic controllers had gone on strike, worried that their jobs were threatened by this new policy. Unbelievably, this problem was only minor compared to the prejudicial nightmare Canada was becoming. “On the streets, people were buying T-shirts that showed a beaver (representing Canada) strangling a…
