So they will soon be rich like the Saudis in the near future ?
You are kidding right ? This is what your medias are telling you ? Do you know what lead to the refugee crisis and other IS* organizations in the middle east ? The Banana Republics in South America ?
Why is Saudi a saint while other nations in middle east are bad actors ?
The rhetoric on China sounds like sour grapes to me.
I wonder why you aren't down voted for crying out loud that the emperor's nude. I try to see the multiple facets of a story rather than trusting medias be it wester or eastern. How many will bother to see what CNN, RT, BBC, AlJazeera and the likes of it are saying about the same story ?
When China invests in Africa, why is it a bad thing when many countries in Africa are suffering from Françafrique ?
It's against the site guidelines to use HN for political battle or predefined agendas. It's a particularly serious abuse to use multiple accounts to do it.
When people abuse HN like this, we eventually ban their main account as well, so please stop and don't do it again.
IIRC, Some sects of Sikhs do not insist (or perhaps even shun) the wearing of the turban. I think the original core population of Sikhs that emigrated to Canada were mostly these non-Khalsa Sikhs.
I'd say this is not entirely correct. There is no sect of Sikhism that shuns the turban to the best of my knowledge. And, I think there is this gross misunderstanding that you have to wear the turban to be a Sikh. As a Khalsa, you have to have unshorn hair, and turban is a practical way to cover it up. In fact, turban isn't mandatory when looking at the technicalities (there are a lot of Sikhs who might disagree with me on this). The Kes (unshorn hair) are. And, that too is a requirement only for Khalsa. I'm a Sikh (not Khalsa), but I keep unshorn hair and wear a turban because I like it. And, there are a lot of people like myself. A lot of non-Khalsa Sikhs wear turbans as a step towards the path to becoming a Khalsa.
Not sure how you got that from that link. There's a whole section on different religious associations. It points out that it's a religious requirement for Sikhs - observant baptised Sikhs are required to wear a turban.
A long time back (i.e. when I was a kid, which was a long time back), you could get a visa to come to Canada if you invested a certain amount of money into a company and ran that company for a few years (2 was the minimum, I think). For relatively well off people in China this was a great opportunity and basically the default thing to do was to open a Chinese restaurant. Lots of these restaurants went under after the proprietors got permanent residence status, but a suprisingly large number of them stuck around. My good friend's father was one of those immigrants and he said that he had no interested at all in running a restaurant, but after doing it for a few years he found that he really enjoyed it. So historically there have been a lot of Chinese restaurants in Canada and a large population of Chinese Canadians. Over time, quite a few of these restaurants have gotten very good and the owners hire famous chefs from China to come over and cook in them (at one time that was a thing you could do... I'm not so sure any more). Because of this, famous Chinese dishes started to appear in the restaurants. Again, when I was a kid, most restaurants had 2 menus: one in Chinese and one in English. The English one had "Chinese Canadian" food like sweet and sour pork balls in neon red sauce, while the Chinese menu had actual Chinese cuisine. As Canadians became more aware of this, they started preferring the Chinese menu. By the time I was in University, everybody I knew wouldn't dream of ordering off the English menu (I grew up in Winnipeg, which had a very good set of Chinese restaurants at the time). Again, over time, Canadians started to appreciate fine Chinese cuisine. One of the dishes that is popular is shark fin soup. That's basically the long and the short of it as far as I can tell.
Canada has a relatively large (~5%) Chinese and Chinese-Canadian population. A large immigration event happened during the 90s due to the uncertainty surrounding the UK handover of Hong Kong[1] and many resettled in Vancouver.
The number of Chinese immigrants to Canada cannot be underestimated. There are whole cities where Chinese constitute more than 50% of the population [1].
> The government also added a number of last-minute amendments to the bill, including changes that would allow for surveillance and enforcement of the law.
> Quebec's majority government has pushed through a controversial piece of legislation that will bar public-school teachers, government lawyers, judges and police officers from wearing religious symbols while at work.
This legislation has invoked the "not withstanding clause" which means this legislation cannot be challenged in any court.
