 Saltwater City Television: Highlights of Media Scrum on Head Tax issues with Minister Bev Oda This is great stuff if you have been following the Chinese Canadian Head Tax issue. Sid Tan is producer of Saltwater City Television which follows issues of interest to multi-generation Chinese Canadian pioneer descendants (like myself). Gee... I can even be seen in this week's show, as I joined Sid and many others in the protest against the Liberal government's deal with the National Congress of Chinese Canadians, to sign an "Agreement-in-Principle" for No Apology, and No Compensation, and only $2.5 Million to set up community programs, in comparison to the more than $336 Million that was given to the Japanese Canadians in their 1988 Redress settelement, as they budgeted for $21,000 for each of 16,000 individuals.. Sunday April 2 @ 1:00pm Monday April 3 @ 10:30pm Thursday April 6 @ 2:30pm Saturday April 8 @ 11:30am ACCESS/ICTV community television on Shaw cable 4, the cable community channel in Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley. Heritage Minister Bev Oda and PM Parliamentary Secretary Jason Kenney: Chinese Head-tax/Exclusion Redress Updates on Saltwater City Television Saltwater City Television (29:45) 1) Highlights of media scrum and comments from Canadian Heritage Minister Bev Oda and Jason Kenney, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, after community consultations on Chinese head-tac/exclusion redress in Toronto on March 24, 2006.

Written, directed and produced by Karin Lee.
