Richmond Hill and Scarborough in Ontario and Richmond in BC are largely Asian
Woodstock ON is largely Italian
So, when the Canadian government (particularly a drama teacher turned prime minister) allowed and gave LEGAL VISA's to thousands of economic migrants from India with no questions asked, what responsibility and accountability do Canadian voters demand from their own governments - both federal and provincial?
While it's easy to videotape borderline racism and bigotry directed at immigrants from any one background or national origin (which is understandable btw), why not go interview videotape Sean Fraser and others like him who allowed (and signed off) this to occur in the first place? See what nuggets of wisdom you get from your own government perhaps.
Critiques government immigration policy and accountability, with identity assertions about ethnic concentration in cities and a call to interview government officials.
