The building is now owned by a gentleman named Anoop Majitha, president of his own development company and appears determined to railroad the tenants out of their homes. Most of the tenants are native-born Vancouverites and Canadians, loyal to Crown and country. They had no idea something like this could happen to them as they were too busy protecting our nation from terrorism to realize the BC Liberal Party was allowing off-shore owners to violate their way of life and system of values.
This is a concern for us here in our newsroom and also apparently for the general public. For instance we heard on the bus today, "How can some dirty little migrant come here and do harm to Vancouverites, the very same Vancouverites that gave him a home in the first place? What kind of thanks are these for our gift of freedom to him?"
We reserve judgement on these comments and many more like them that our staff have heard on the bus the past few days, especially as we don't know the nationality of Majitha, but we point out that as important a global figure as Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany (seen here with our Prime Minister Stephen Harper), has stated that multiculturalism is a failure. Maybe it's time to make some changes if such important people are saying this.
