A bit of trivia... You aren't the only ones... --- --- a few years ago it was 90% chinese. === === There is a large suburb in Vancouver ...spit... that is predominately Chinese.. They buying properties at such inflated prices, forcing people to move farther out, inflating prices as they move along.. It even has had an effect on us some 8-900 km from there..
They are so blatent about things that many businessesses were only using Chinese on there signs, stroe fronts and all... Some level of government told them they had to use at least 2 languages, so they put up store names and such in French... Only about 10% of the whole country uses French and 90% or more of them are in the east provinces... This area not wanting non Chinese around..

That sucks...I heard things were similar in Canada but we aren't that bad (that I know of).

Same thing happened here in Melbourne. There are a number of very well funded public schools. They were intended for 'high achievers'. What has happened instead is that Chinese real estate agents spent the last 20 years marketing them back home. Real estate prices skyrocketed to the point where there are no locals moving in at all and the schools are now 98% Chinese expats, who are receiving better education than the local kids and it's all taxpayer funded. It's disgusting.
