Er...ok...perhaps look after our homeless, and local shelters first. It is wonderful that the mayor is deeply concerned but our premier is already doling out our tax dollars to assist so how about we look after our own??

How about copies of our (BC) building codes translated into Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) for our friends in China's building departments in all those Chinese city halls? Bring em up to code. Next time more lives may be saved.

I am glad we are expressing concern for China but I agree with tinyapplecork that we need to get the homeless off the street. A town is only as great as its' weakest member.
