So the Chinese woman filing the lawsuit is phrasing her complaint along the lines that the foreigner house-buying tax is "disproportionately felt by persons whose national origin is from an Asian country, a class of persons that have historically suffered discrimination in British Columbia".

Hello?

Look, people, sorry, but the fact that the 2017 woman's great great grandmother might have been impacted by a head tax back in 1892, sorry, no, that does not warrant ANY leverage in the present situation. 

I mean, seriously, hello? In case the woman is somehow unaware, Canada in its modern history has been taking in Chinese immigrants en masse, hundreds of thousands live lavishly, spread from Richmond to Kerrisdale to South Surrey to Scarborough, many having arrived in recent decades.

Her whining prattle ought properly be laughed out of court. Seriously, if she is really so keen to embrace all that Canada generously offers, she ought to IMMIGRATE here as a CITIZEN.
