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

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

Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to run in Burnaby South byelection https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...tion-1.4775082 Quote:
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh intends to run in the upcoming byelection in the Burnaby South riding of British Columbia, CBC News has learned.
The riding is held by NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, who is vacating his seat to run for mayor of Vancouver.
Analysis
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh won't have a free pass if he runs in a byelection
Two anonymous sources revealed the news about Singh to CBC. A party spokesperson said Singh will be "doing events" in the Greater Vancouver area on Wednesday and Thursday.
The spokesperson wouldn't confirm the decision, but said many people in the Metro Vancouver suburb have been encouraging Singh to run in the upcoming byelection.
"When Mr. Singh was in Burnaby last month he found that the problems people are facing there reflect so many of the issues Canadians are struggling with across the country," the spokesperson said in an email.
"Issues like uncertain and precarious work, special tax loopholes for the super rich, rising out-of-pocket health costs and longer waits times, unaffordable housing, and concerns about a clean environment."
NDP MP Kennedy Stewart is running as an independent candidate in Vancouver's upcoming election this fall. (CBC)
The spokesperson said Singh was "very moved by the support" and will make a decision in the near future.
The Burnaby South riding was created prior to the 2015 election, which Stewart won by 547 votes over Liberal candidate Adam Pankratz.

^ 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. https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/m...snt-being-paid | |

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

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.  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.

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? Quote:

| 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.

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?
