  1. Well there you go. Maybe not such a big issue after all.
  2. I think it's a bigger impact on tourists and English speaking residents. Although if you are looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant you don't need an English sign. If I were a condo owner in Richmond I would have a problem with this issue. Although attending a strata meeting would be like watching paint dry.
  3. I agree it's unfair and I hope they do something about it. On another note the city has advertised for someone to encourage businesses to put up English signs, not just Chinese signs. This is also a big problem for Richmond. I have driven many times through parts of Richmond and it is difficult to find English speaking signs. this is a bigger issue facing Richmond.
  4. Richmond is not 90% Chinese. It is approximately 65% and I'm pretty sure the elected officials are mostly white. While I agree that the strata meetings should be translated to English I haven't seen the stats of the nationalities living in that complex.
  5. That is your opinion. For others, it's why kill living mammals? to what purpose? Reduction in economic activity?
  6. Everyone has their benchmark for a safe planet. I can't assume to guess the benchmark for someone who has no children, or someone who is focussed on short term monetary gain.
  7. I am not imposing values. I am sharing information. It's up to every citizen of the world to decide what they are willing to throw their weight behind.
  8. Nice spin. But as I have suggested, I presented some accomplishments to date. It is up to the reader to determine if they satisfy their requirements for a safe planet. It's not up to you or me to decide for them.
  9. What do you mean?
  10. No. I'm not interested in engaging with you.
  11. Cruz has been losing to Clinton in every poll so yes, let's take him seriously.
  12. You can decide for yourself. Do your own research.
  13. I will let this speak for itself.
  14. You seem to have no idea what activists have stood up for to protect our planet. Grow a pair argus and find out.
  15. Such buzzwords you use Tim, political correct posturings, net positive. Here are a few positives. You can decide if they are good for the environment: L'oreal commits to end role in deforestation Nestle ends purchasing of palm oil from rain forests Barbie drops rain forest packing South Korea ends scientific whaling plans I can go on if you want.
  16. Greenpeace has plenty of accolades from saving rainforests, putting pressure on corporations to adopt Eco friendly practices and now using social media to aid in those goals.
  17. If you check back on your response I quoted, you said 'this country'. Last time I checked BC is considered part of Canada, except for those east of the Rockies. I'm so ecstatic that Trudeau has a great history with BC.
  18. I agree. It was an unexpected treat. Whiplash is a great flick on Netflix. Quite intense. I've watched it once and I will watch it again. That's rare for me.
  19. Then you are not familiar with activism in BC. But this is typical of anyone who lives east of the Rockies.
  20. Activists inconvenience others in order to draw attention to their cause that would otherwise be ignored. If others weren't inconvenienced they wouldn't give a second thought to the issue.
  21. So you think Greenpeace is of no value to the world?
