Candidates’ appearance affects how you vote
Yesterday, Canada watched our federal leaders debate on television. Mr Harper’s hair was so perfect and so immaculate… with every strand of hair groomed into place. The same for Mr. Ignatieff, and for Mr. Duceppe. Mr Layton, who is almost bald, had a moustache that was just so perfect and trimmed. We guess image and perception is ...

Battle for Ethnics + Photos = Shopping for Votes
Interesting discussion on our earlier posting, “Wai Young: Does She or Doesn’t She?“. Some of our readers cried foul and sexism when we explored photo anomalies on one of the woman candidates for Vancouver South. So… OOPs. Did our blog cross the line? Yeah… whatever. We’ve got 3 boring political leaders slugging it out. Same old song. Let’s add some ...
Wai Young 楊蕭慧儀: Does She or Doesn’t She?
The photo on the left is on the election material presented by the Conservative Wai Young team. The photo on the right is a recent photo of Ms Young. Are they the same person? Yup.

Richmond BC, the Chinese integration issue
One of our readers forwarded to us, a ‘letter to the Editor’. The letter was an interesting write up by Ray Lin of Richmond, B.C. to the Richmond Review, the local community newspaper.

Did Globe and Mail call Minister Kenney, Fat?
We’ve met Canada’s Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism – Mr. Jason Kenney, on a number of occasions. We’ve always enjoyed his presence and good sense of humour.

our Blog is an equal opportunity Disser
We don’t really give a rat’s ass what political stripe our politicians colour themselves under – Conservative, Green, NDP, Liberal or whatever. When politicians only *really* care about limelight seeking opportunities, demonstrate elastic ethical standards, or are star Vote Entrepreneurs, we’ve got our cross hairs out for them. As always, we enjoy pointing out discrepancies and calling ...

Canada’s Multiculturalism industry = vote entrepreneurship
Our blog had earlier explored the notion of how Canada’s well meaning multi-cultural approach has now morphed into something awful.

Why politicians make us sick: the Ooj spin
A Vancouver South citizen, probably a cranky Conservative or a nutty NDP supporter, wrote a desperate plea to the UGLY Chinese Canadian to remind voters of the antics of federal Liberal Ujjal Dosanjh, aka the Oo-Jaw (杜 新 志). Apparently the Oo-Jaw had just mailed out a half dozen or more pieces of junk mail, slamming ...
