1) @Dude, yes, you have shown progress. There is no need to insult individuals. You might need to healing. A well balanced human being does not need to insult those who disagree with him/her. Perhaps one day you will not need to do this. Remember the other person is a mirror of yourself.I don’t find it interesting in the least, I find it exhausting. I rather spend my energy finding ways to make the lower mainland affordable for the current/future generations. Transport tax? sure throw another one on me. I’ll use all the spare income I have. Gas at 1.60? No problem. Constant increases in car insurance/ electricity.
No problem. Call me Caucasian? How dare you. It’s ridiculous. Why do we spend sso much time so obsessed about Trumps tweets or what Roseanne has to say? I have more important things to deal with.
This example is close, but his father is of English descent. I guess the token minority. Any other player that we have missed?Issey Nakajima Farran wants to know why you are rewriting history and claiming he never played for the Canadian National team.
Slight tangent, but still CPL relevant...

That’s an awesome article.
I’m not one for wild conspiracy theories based on racism. The National team has a long history of promoting players from a broad ethnic base.
I think as we see the CPL grow, you will see more South Asians break through. Now with a domestic league to aspire to.....
@Dude..yes...and Santa Claus lives in the North Pole and brings toys to children...
.. if it helps you to sleep at night believing that race has not taken part in the history of social organization of sports in British Columbia... then be my guest and keep indulging yourself in soothing fantasy...
I have no doubt that "eventually" South Asians and Asians will play in the National Team, they are simply not be first or a priority according to the social order set by the forefathers of this Beautiful Province.
If you really think that Asians and South Asian are receiving an equal playing field in sports here in BC, then you might want give a closer look at the studies that Sociologists are conducting at SFU and UBC:
"Changing on the Fly, conducted and written by North Delta Secondary graduate and recent SFU PhD recipient Courtney Szto, looks at the experiences and relationship the South Asian community has with ice hockey.
Szto got the idea for the study when the NHL came out with their Hockey is for Everyone campaign. It evoked a memory of her time working at Sport Chek, when a young boy of South Asian descent came in to get hockey equipment and his turban didn’t allow it to fit safely.
In the course of her study, Szto talked to South Asian players, parents and coaches to see what she could learn about the discrimination that community faces in the sport. (In the study, South Asians are defined as people with ancestry from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Fiji and East Africa.)
What she found was South Asians within the sport consistently faced discrimination in the form of racism."
Out of curiosity @Dude, when Asians and South Asians stopped facing discrimination on British Columbia?
It is not a coincidence that first team from BC to the CPL is going to Victoria and not to Surrey. It is the way is supposed to be according to our provincial social order.
Same groupFirst, I suspect the bid went to Victoria and not Surrey because the group looking to land one in Surrey couldn’t get all their shite together, but they could in Victoria.
