Washington Post
“Vancouver prefers to revel in politically correct politics, a squeaky-clean environmental image, and a laid-back mood fostered by persistent melancholy rain. But it also is a haven for some of the most wanted fugitives in the world and for con men working scams in the shadow of the law.”
They used Lai Changxing as an example. Sitting here in his luxury condo while the ‘wheels of justice’ grind away.
Rakesh Saxena has been under house arrest in HIS luxury home for 11 years now. “But he insisted, “This isn’t a great life. With due respect, this is not the place I would choose to live. From my perspective, it’s a backwater.”
Great huh? So you can see what the people who come here to just exploit our laws and so on really think of it here! This is why we have a crummy real estate market.
This is why there are hardly any head offices here. Did we not HAVE a stock exchange at one point?
Again, Vancouver is pretty on the surface……but man oh man….there are so many people out to make a buck at any cost. This includes the business men, city hall, the provincial government…the list goes on.
No wonder joe average doesn’t stand a chance.
