By saying only the Chinese are driving up prices, taking over Vancouver, ruining the economy, etc. is inherently racist. Why only say the Chinese, when there are many other countries, plus other Canadians, that are influencing the housing prices? I agree wholeheartedly there are housing issues in Vancouver. I hate how people blame Chinese people for what has transpired.

I would be very interested in seeing the breakdown of investors from other countries. Based on media reports, I have assumed that there are more Chinese investors involved than any other nationality. Is that not the case?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
