the Tax on: Heads
Words are powerful. I love how one can play with words and come up with complete new inferences, connotations and meanings. Like when I mentioned that our Leaders love to play with their members. Does that mean they play with their constituents or play with their puny stubs? The latter case I’d like to suggest. The same ...
Organized Chinese Grime
Canada will be holding a federal election within half a year. Maybe even within a few short months… it will be our nation’s third federal election over the past four years as the last two had been “minority” ( there’s that yukky ubiquitous word again) governments. A fast history lesson for those who are not familiar with ...
do I hate Chinese?
Or is the question, “are you emblarrlassed of being Chinese?” or, “why you attack you own people?”. These are some of the nicer comments received by yours truly from Asians and Whites over the past decade …long before I started this blog. One thing I can say is that I am glad I struck a few nerves ...
Wit on the blogosphere
Having spent a whole day …make that wasted a whole day looking at various blogs, one cannot help but to admire all that wit and interesting stuff out there. There appears to be a lot of intelligent writers out there. Sure, there are also many duds too, but on the blogs I sought this day, there ...
CC Politics 101: a pocket guide to becoming a Chinese Canadian politician
Nevermind all you hear about democracy. Democracy only reflects the voices of those who get involved. And here on the wild wet coast of BC… apathy is king. Thus, I will limit my thoughts to my province, British Columbia… as places east of our Rocky mountain divide may just as well be half way to Mars. In ...
Gutless Chinese Canadian leaders play with their members while women are exploited
Just so the rest of the world knows, CBC news reported last Wednesday, the pathetic state of “leadership” a la Chinese Canadian leaders / politicians in Greater Vancouver. We agree. So many useless Chinese wankers call themselves “Leaders” While most everyone is preparing for the Christmas season, our useless Chinese-part time-Canadian community “leaders” are off playing with their ...
How to tell Japanese apart from Chinese
Holy crap. Orientals (the word that was used before the p.c. word “Asian” became widespread) have come a long way in terms of tolerance and acceptance in mainstream society. Well… on the surface anyways. Have a look at this Second World War illustrated handbook issued by our neighbours to the south. This link was forwarded to me ...
will the real Chinese Canadian please stand up
Talk about fracturcide. The Chinese community in Canada is well known for it’s in-fighting and slagging of one another. This of course, is great for the politicians. You see, the convenient excuse our politicians will use, and use often, is : “…we can’t move further on this initiative unless a consensus is given from the Chinese Canadians… and ...
it’s CHRISTMAS, stupid
Having returned from a nice little Christmas office soirée yesterday, I couldn’t help but reflect on all the pant pissers out there who get all bent out of shape from hearing the word “Christmas”. Years ago I recall arguing with a business associate that we should have the words “Merry Christmas” proudly exclaimed on our office ...
Japan’s difficult Apology
This week marks the 69th Anniversary of the horrific “Rape of Nanking” by the Japanese Imperial Army upon the citizens of China’s then capital of Nanjing. The images shown on this post were taken last year in Vancouver, where a few thousand Canadians took their message to the streets. This week, a number of communiqués and information ...
Chinese Babies for sale
On each of the recent trips I’ve made to China, I can’t help but to notice the large number of young girls being adopted by foreigners. I shouldn’t complain, as over the years, our extended family has adopted quite a few new daughters from China. Last week, as I sat in a fancy hotel in Guangzhou, ...
