The $975 head tax on all immigrants coming into Canada?

In 1995, for example, the Chretien government imposed a $975 “head tax” on refugees who applied for permanent residence. And the Liberals’ refugee processing delays and discriminatory rules brought withering criticism from advocates.
“This government has adopted a hostile attitude toward refugees and towards their international obligations to protect those who flee war, human-rights violations and persecution,” Nancy Worsfold of the Canadian Council for Refugees said of the Chretien government at the time.
But now Chretien is the guy wagging his finger at Harper. Oh, how the worm has turned!
