A good argument for political correctness from last week's Imprint community editorial.[0]
My continual coverage of immigrants and its impact on "gateway" regions.[0]
Wong Fu Productions crew toured UW a few days ago. The navy shirt guy is hot. Oh baby. Here's the famous original Yellow Fever short.[0]
They're referring to T&T. The store is expanding into downtown-- but in the old port lands. What a poor location-- since the West Don Lands and East Bayfront developments are not even close to completion.[0]
Jared Taylor's refreshing lack of political correctness is what kept me reading this long article. He speaks with such passion and boldness-- which I suppose is commendable. However, what gets to me is that he is always presented as an 'expert' or 'researcher', when in fact, his whole dissertation violates the principles of external validity. The examples he references, although objective, only represents a limited scope on Canadian society. More discussion from this article. [via Ramanan][1]
An Environics poll says Canadian Muslims are satisfied with the way things are going today.[0]
Update: The rule was later lifted, as this article indicates.[0]
Filmed in Australia, gay Asian guys talk about difficulties in dating and perception. It's a bit bitter, but does cover the gay scene fairly accurately.[0]
I can't say that I've been to many of the nominated places.[0]
I think this year festivities had the best turn out yet. Who can turn down smelly tofu?[0]
Tiff talks about some obvious parallels between Tibet in China and Quebec in Canada.[0]

Does anyone know if there are specific rules in Quebec related to immigration? Why I am asking is that I thought that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifies that you can reside in any province and territory you wish. For example, if you suggest that you wish to live in Alberta on your immigration papers, you can still ultimately settle in Quebec, right? [via Ramanan][1]
Lee is the most common Chinese surname. I'm glad my gayness is helping to lower that figure![2]
Sufei is back! This time she takes a trip with her father to search for her family roots in Shanghai after fleeing the Nazi regime. Here is Part 2.[1]
Sufei talks to Beijingers about Hillary and Obama.[0]
His website has been quite a hit in cyber circles.[0]
Markham had the highest proportion of visible minorities in all of Canada, at 65.4% of the total population.Markham is the municipality with the largest proportion of visible minorities, at 65.4% of the total population (wow, I need to write clearly).[0]
