Vancouver Mayor dating Chinese pop star
 
Cheating on his wife is one thing but using tax payers money to do so is another whole other can of worms. I wondrt if he still would have been elected if this news came out before the election.

Mayor Robertson's staff cultivated links with Chinese pop star Wanting since 2012

ask any asian and they'll say the same, they find it odd that what white guys find attractive are almost the complete opposite of what asians find attractive (not that they're actually ugly :P)

probably should've worded it better but yeah ;)

I don't think she's ugly at all, and the video is pretty decent!

Most likely you hear that kind of thing because people are jealous

There are overall cultural influences to what people find attractive (and a lot of variance within that). For instance, even within the same race, a girl considered attractive in mainland China is going to look different from one in Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Vancouver.

So I think race has nothing to do with it - it's maybe 10% cultural and 90% personal preference. And 100% who gives a fuck :fuckthatshit:

she got famous because of this song that was used in a pretty popular HK movie, a one hit wonder, other than that her other songs r kinda... soso


J____ 01-09-2015 06:02 AM

she's hardly that famous and can't be considered a superstar. Her song was a movie theme as topec said, then was kind of re-vitalized after a contestant sang her song on The Voice China. Hundreds of thousands of followers on weibo is nothing for a celeb, i am nobody and had 20k followers on my old account after 6 months of registering most of which were spam accounts, my best bud is a b-list talk show host and he has close to 2 million followers... so ya nothing special.

Such hard hitting news. :pokerface:

Ronin 01-09-2015 06:33 AM

What's the big deal? Isn't he separated from his wife?

I don't like Mayor Bike-Lanes either but...meh. Not exactly an outrage. So he asked an assistant to get a cute girl's number...whatever.

hotjoint 01-09-2015 07:24 AM

Asian girls are attracted to white guys and Asian guys love white girls. Mixed babies ftw :)

6o4__boi 01-09-2015 07:39 AM

:suspicious:
50/2+7 = 32

they mayor has broken the golden rule
call the cops!

The problem is, on a personal level, he's been around her a lot longer than he's been separated for.............

But more importantly for us as his constituents and taxpayers, he has been "partnering up" with her for supposed economic trips to Asia and I would say there's a pretty good chance a lot of taxpayer money has paid for them to go on romantic holidays together under the guise of business being conducted on behalf of the City of Vancouver... and that's pretty important + shitty from an ethics perspective.

That said, Gregor is a fucking scam artist like any of them, ask anybody living in the Olympic Village what they think of the $20 a month fee they have to pay for the gadget on their wall that tells them how much water and electricity they use compared to the average of the building... and they are mandatory in condos and there is no service attached to it despite the $20/month fee... yup... owner of the company is a best friend of Gregor and he made them required in all new condos even though they do nothing at all besides show you some stupid stats.

GLOW 01-09-2015 08:10 AM

if what you say is true, voters will forget about this come next election

carisear 01-09-2015 08:15 AM

Gregor Robertson is a throwback to sleazy 60s-70s style politicians. Good looking, slick talking tall man with outrageous promises that no one could ever deliver upon, who makes backroom deals like crazy.

I agree with Glow -- people will still vote for him. It has nothing to do with them being 'stupid' or 'uneducated' -- it's a natural tendency to gravitate towards good looking people. Hell, if I was hot i'd use it to my advantage non stop!

jackmeister 01-09-2015 08:25 AM

We just need someone with enough political creds to start building a profile and make a run in 4 years. If NPA didn't just airdrop LaPointe within the last year (who really knew much about him without digging up info?) we would've seen a nice change at City Hall.

Another 4 years of this bullshit.

Couldn't believe this even made breaking news.

That's a song? Sounds more like a nursery rhyme that doesn't rhyme.

That show is fucking awesome and applies so much to this city as well.

Everyone's nitpicking the fact that the mayor is "dating" an Asian but completely gloss over the fact that he just turned 50 and she's....30. ugh I'm sure they have *so* much in common. :suspicious:

I can't believe you idiots voted him back into office again :concentrate:

Oh and 4 more years? It was only going to be 3 before he was in office. Smacks of Putin-esque legislation changing the rules to make himself stay in office longer.
