Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours require a lot of work?
I’m completely new to blogging but I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience
and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for
new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

Temporary foreign worker agency Actyl Group sues McDonald’s Canada
In the company’s statement of claim, Actyl alleges McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd. breached its contract when it failed to pay the agency certain “service fees” for immigration services it provided the franchisees.
Actyl alleges McDonald’s Canada was “unjustly enriched” when it deducted money from the paycheques of its foreign workers and pocketed the deductions instead of paying the recruiting agency directly.
Ah I love to watch jackals fight.
I am chinese. My parents immigrated to Canada in 1970 when I was 4 years old. It is not racist when I have a disdain for the new immigrants from China, for the reason not due to the color of their skin but for their behavior in my Country. Aside from the fact that they choose to use Canada to stash their illegal cash, they take advantage of our healthcare, education system, and are the cause of high real estate prices. Why do we have to invest our education budget into ESL classes? Canadian working class families can no longer afford a home? Have you tried to find a family doctor lately? No racism, the system needs to change. We need more money…then tax the shit out of HAM, easy.
Go ahead, keep down voting my post #4 down people. My main message is pay close attention to the Ebola story. I don’t know exactly what is going on, but my spidey senses are tingling and my spidey senses are usually right. I am just saying pay attention and think for yourself. Paying attention can make the difference between living or dying. It’s upsetting to see my post voted down because I don’t want it to get to the point where you can’t read it anymore. I’m trying to alert people to a public health problem that they need to pay attention to for their own good.
#6 The internet is a very big place….go somewhere else with this.
Is anyone else seeing Crusty’s smiling mug in the ad window soliciting “$20.17 for 2017”?
Larry is late with the averages
Most of the Hams immigrate to Canada just want the canadian passport as a life insurance policy. They do not like or want anything to do with Canada or pay their fair share of taxes. Many will move back to China after they have their passport while leaving the money, houses, or their children behind. Is this what we want for Canada? I am sorry to say I am Asian.
Most of the local homebuyers just want to own a home as a life insurance policy. They do not like or want anything to do with renting and will pay more than their fair share of BC’s personal mortgage debt, the highest in Canada. Many will be underwater after the bubble finally bursts leaving the money, houses, or their children behind. Is this what we want for Canada? I am sorry to say I am Canadian.
I would assume HAM is quite easy to spot, expensive cars, new mansions, expensive branded clothes, bags, etc. For starters locals just need to show them how much welcome they are. Just ask Hongkongers how they do it.
I would assume Indebted Local Money is quite easy to spot, expensive mortgage payments, old tear downs, expensive branded condos, zero downs, etc. For starters renters just need to show them how much indebted they are. Just ask bears how they do it.
July SFH sales on Van West: 138, down 17% from June (167).
It is amazing those $1.5-2 million tear-down got sold, still.
Cabin ownership fading for families facing money worries-
“The family cabin might have a strong emotional hold on its owners, but there are signs that for many, it is getting harder to maintain that grip, financially speaking…”
Told you.
I think sales volumes, which have been declining for months, will pick up as sellers reduce expectations going forward.
We are telling all sellers to reduce expectations and now the Oracles of the world know why.
Oracle is a big company in SanFrancisco, …Vancouver doesnt have any big companies because its a real estate obsessed, pitiful backwater with no economy unless you live for weed and Real estate, so no educated or talented people come to vancouver because of that, who wants to live in a career graveyard like vancouver

Not all racism is about skin colour. Hitler and Jews were both white. Did that make what Hitler did OK?
@BPOM – you mean like the top 10 most wanted ex-cops for corruption in HK who are all living a nice happy life in BC? Yeah, HK is not corrupt…bullshit…
Ask the average HK or Taiwan citizenship when they aren’t huffing and puffing about how superior they are to mainlanders and you will find that most of them think their own govt & politicians are just as corrupt as the Chinese ones. It just don’t get reported as much in Western newspaper.
It just shows you are an angry little man who don’t actually know what you are talking about.
But that’s fine cuz this hate will slowly eat you from inside out and destroy your life until you go mental, but you will not reap any reward from it.
@Chabar – Like totally paving their front and back lawns with concrete? Combining lots to build huge mansions that all the white neighbours hate? Talk really loud in Cantonese and never integrate? Leaving back to HK as soon as they get their citizenship? Still collecting all the social benefits while staying 6 months in HK and never paid a dime in Cdn income taxes? Have their kids go through K-12 & univ at subsidized rates while diverting a lot of $$$ in K-12 to ESL, and then promptly go back to HK to work? Again, using services but never paid income tax?
If you think rich mainlander are worse then you don’t know jack. Rich HKers are just as bad if not worse.
Let’s all move to Arizona and buy up their real estate.
yeah, lets get this PARTY started!!!
