Well, the Chinese-Canadians ain't complaining. And maybe FN shouldn't, either.

During "John A"'s time, the American CPR contractor persuaded 15,000 Chinese to come work for half the wages whites would expect to work for--could he have found enough willing to work in some of the railroad's worst conditions. Working conditions? An estimated 4 Chinese died for every mile they built--about 700 dead.  Then, after the first train chugged into Vancouver, the bad news kept on coming!  Chinese were immediately unemployed--and basically unemployable. So, they all left to go back to good ol' China, right?  Ha!  Life was STILL better for them here than there--only about one thousand went back "home."

Sir John A was a "bad guy" to First Nations peoples? Not so. He saved HUNDREDS of Native lives by sending--at no small cost--the NWMP to Northwest Territories; yankee liquor traders scurried back across the border. That wasn't his only reason for creating the Scarlet Force, but a nice bonus, hmm?
