If you think that someone with your level of xenophobia could manage an IT team in Vancouver you are completely delusional.

The inference that the OP's barely disguised racism would be more at home in the Maritimes. Would such views be acceptable there? Would he be a valued member of society, networking his way into Director of IT/Project Management/Whatever-so-long-as-it-doesn't-involve-them-orientals? Or not.

Moncton made the national news recently when a florist backed out of an order to do flowers for a wedding when she discovered it was for a lesbian couple.

Could not agree more - I am usually more of a lurker than an active contributor but this morning, having read both this thread and the whinge about landing at YVR, I'm moved to add my 2 cents worth..... I for one am exceedingly glad that Canadian_Bacon_Boy feels he is too good for those of us slumming it in the ghettos of Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
PS.... I am fairly sure that brekkie cereal is very similar cost across most of Canada (and don't forget to factor in the cost of super expensive milk
)
