Quote:
Community organizers are calling on people to contest a recommendation against "Asian malls" in Calgary as the city hosts the first of five open houses on its long-term plan for land use and transportation.
A report commissioned by the city on commercial and retail policy recommends that Calgary should "avoid the development of 'Asian' malls that cater only to a specific ethnic group."

Wow. The sheer political stupidity in my home city never ceases to amaze me.
I realize that every city, every province, and every federal government is cursed with having politicians of very limited intelligence or common sense... but we have consistently elected people like Rob Freaking Anders, Lee "blame the ethnics!" Richardson, and Jason "the gays can marry... as long as its to a member of the opposite sex" Kenney.
They are a small minority I am certain, yet they continue to give us a black eye on the image we want to portray to the rest of Canada, and the world.
Sorry, I get really frustrated when these stories come out.
