    Weise says Lucic threatened him during handshake

    One man's word. Unless somebody else confirms it, who cares?

    Hell, even if somebody else does, who cares? It's an emotional series in a rough game. It's like when people went nuts over Keith going 'wakey wakey Backes'...it's not like these guys all love each other.

    Yeah but the big difference there was the fact that Backes was mature and professional enough to shake it off, and give proper handshakes to both Seabrook and Keith after their series had ended.

    Chinese-only sign reignites language debate in Richmond, B.C.

    The people that immigrate here, far more often than not, are engaged in social functions because Calgarians appreciate and reciprocate such behaviour (this blends with the economy of Calgary that is more open to accepting foreign credentials whereas the GVA and GTA, just to name two, are very belligerent about "Canadian" education and "Canadian experience" with awful criteria surrounding that -- which is why so many skilled immigrants prefer Calgary than anywhere else in Canada). The GTA and GVA pride themselves on the superficial aspects of simply "having" different ethnic/racial and cultural background that hardly intermingle (which is pretty useless to me and begging for culture clash -- reminds me of when I moved to the US for a while, the same thing afflicts California). Which is why you have such vast towns of foreign ethnic drive that want to put things in a foreign language without any regard for disrespecting the customs of a country they're moving to.

    Unfortunately for the GTA and GVA, for them to understand their problem will require introspection, and if there's one thing leftists (that permeate these two regions) are really bad at doing, it's introspection.

    FFS, did you really turn this into another Left-Right issue?

    Wow, I can't believe people are getting bothered by this ad. That company paid money to put up a Chinese ad there, they can do whatever they want. They can put up a picture of dancing red dragons up there for all I care.

    Same rule applies for those businesses in Richmond without an English sign. It's their business, they can cater their products/services to whoever they want as long as their actual business practices follow Canadian law.

    This whole language thing goes both ways. I remember a news story a few months back where a Chinese lady whined about not getting service at McDonalds because the employee couldn't understand her crappy English. That was her fault and if she wants to get served by English speaking businesses then she should learn to speak the language. But if people like her are content without learning English and only going to Chinese businesses in Richmond then so be it.

    What are English subtitles going to do anyways? It's not like it's going to entice non-Asians to pay attention to the ads. These people can do whatever they want, it's their money.
