And whether or not you believe the question was racist isn't as relevant as the answer he gave.

this i think is a real problem.
the fact that we've become so politically ''correct'' that we're unable to distinguish actual racism from someone asking questions based on their ethnicity.
yes. people are different. different sexes, races, ethnicities, religions, etc.. they will be asked questions based on their differences.
that's not racist. it's not hateful.
and to try and just shut it down, as if it is, because you don't like the line of questioning, i find very disturbing

A good watch.

Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to run in Burnaby South byelection

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...tion-1.4775082

is the ndp retarded?

you don't send an important person to a riding that was won over 547 votes

It's actually genius. The pipeline is one of the biggest issues right now and Burnaby is at the center of it. He is going to ride the pipe issue all the way to victory.

^ I don't know about victory, the NDP seem to be a sinking ship. Losing Quebec votes, broke, and Singh is very washy on any serious topic.

If you live in Burnaby and you are anti pipe you only have one option and that's the NDP.

I wonder how many residents of Burnaby are actually opposed to the pipeline relative to the amount of noise being created

Maybe they're banking on some of that sweet anti pipeline cash

I live in burnaby south, don't give a fuck about the pipeline as its a valley away from me. I care more about housing than a twining a pipeline. City of burnaby is pretty much ndp and look at the housing madness. :lawl: If he becomes MP, he better live his ass here.

Kennedy stewart was more independent then NDP and was just riding the ndp banner to get in.

600k at 10% over 25 years was how much total paid? Now this.....
Please tell me what your predictions are for the stock market.

I think you got the wrong thread burh but as per below

hippy gold. They'll drive to the voting booth, too

Since it is a (federal) MP position, the MP will be spending gobs of time in Ottawa anyway. So while I totally agree the optics will look very bad if he doesn't actually move his "permanent residency" here to South Burnaby, I'd say it is really more for show and optics than anything else.

Also, did Crusty Clark actually move to West Kelowna when she lost her initial election in Point Grey or somewhere in LM?

Apparently, the Burnaby South riding was supposed to be a stronghold for NDP. It's just that somehow it turned into a close race last time?

Yep, lots of teachers and government employees here but alot has changed in the last few years. Just take a look at metrotown with so many people moving in and SFH retiring and moving to the okanagan with their thrifty pensions and RE payout.

True -- Metrotown's new massive (Mainland?) Chinese population is probably very non-NDP. At the same time, how many of those newer residents are eligible to vote? And how many of them are interested in voting?
