Before the last federal election, the Harper con flies from Ottawa to Vancouver - just for an afternoon - with the express purpose of spending it in a Chinese family's Richmond backyard. To have his picture taken there. Holding a baby. This ages-old baby-kissing-electioneering receives little media-thus-public-attention. Even though with a twist: only a Chinese Richmond baby will do.
Premier Clark's more liberal means to the same end: more of the same - just lots more of it and more blatant. Hitting the whole mixed bag of multi-culturals in one convenient fell swoop!
What is different this time: the public is more engaged. To - one anticipates - having a good look at the institutionalized, paternalistic sham of Oh Canada's multi-culturalism. And attitudes behind it.
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all lessons history has to teach.
Aldous Huxley
