that would be funny considering the storm the head tax from the early-1900s on changs caused in leafland. > the chinese head tax in canada was a fixed fee imposed on every chinese person entering the country, aimed at discouraging chinese immigration. it was first introduced in 1885 after the completion of the canadian pacific railway, with an initial fee of $50. the tax was increased to $100 in 1900 and further raised to $500 in 1903. despite these high taxes, many chinese immigrants continued to come to canada due to the significantly higher wages compared to their home country. the head tax was abolished in 1923 with the passage of the chinese immigration act, which largely prohibited chinese immigration except for specific categories of individuals.
