• Douglas Todd: Reducing immigration to protect culture not seen as racist by most

  05-11-2017 22:49 via vancouversun.com
  Racism. Immigration.
  Few topics can combine to ignite such anger, contempt and division.
  It was not always this way. The belief that it is racist to want to reduce immigration has only been a significant viewpoint since the 1960s for some in the West. It’s still not a common belief among people in Asia.
  A Vancouver-raised demographer has discovered that people of good will, across nations, use the word racism differently. Their disagreement over the meaning has lead to often-bitter, possib

  Metro Vancouver gas prices hit about $1.45 per litre this weekend with the hike expected to last until about Wednesday or Thursday.
  GasBuddy petroleum analyst Dan McTeague said the jump in price is due to the perfect storm of a supply crunch, a weak Canadian dollar, and a surging demand. Additionally, two of four Washington State refineries are closed for maintenance.

  Will he ever have a chance at a four-goal game again?
  I’m guessing he will, by the way.
  But tonight, he would have happened if he did what he does best, shoot.
  He chose instead to pass.
