I thought people in Richmond were Canadians.
ooops i should say ppl of chinese descent
Chinese immigrants should come to Canada to integrate into a Canadian culture rather than cloister in Richmond. Two malls in RIchmond have only Mandarin signs. I thought we had two official langages and Mandarin is not one of them. Be part of this community or don’t bother to come Canada.
SN … I was just buggin’ you. Your CIV rocks!

btw, this IS canadian culture…. in which everyone live together, pay taxes and have fun! you, me and all ppl out there ARE part of the community, unless your definition of “community” is that ONLY of the white european
