Good!
Nah I think they've just shifted the business elsewhere. Probably Markham will get a good chunk of the dried sharkfin and soup business now.They just raised the price.

This is an issue about inappropriate use of councillors' time for an issue they don't seem to understand.That was part of the debate for Councillors with Wards that border other cities and the argument was that areas like Markham, Vaughan, Pickering etc. will follow suit before it hits the Federal level, or the Supreme Court. The ban doesn't begin until November 2012 but it sends a strong message along with Brampton & Mississauga to other cities across Canada. This is not a "left" or "right" issue, it's about saving sharks, the ocean's top predator. Some species are already collapsing which is devastating and will take decades to repopulate, if ever, unless action is taken soon world-wide.
Glad this went through, if not just for the fact that it brings greater attention to the issue.
Nice. So you're calling people racist just because they don't buy into the ban, a ban that the city's own advisors don't recommend.Many of the Chinese who oppose this measure have more in common with the racist whites who refused to accept Chinese people into society than with the ones who joined them to protect their rights.
