If anyone needs proof that political correctness has derailed Canadian discourse into a land of strained, ridiculous nonsense, consider this.

The area and population of Chinatown is about one one-hundredth the area and population of neighbourhoods such as Kerrisdale and Dunbar.

And yet this newspaper spends more page space whining and wringing its hands and wrapped up in anxiety over. ooh, ooh, maybe too much is happening too fast to change the architecture and demographics of tiny little Chinatown, more page space on that than the much larger changes to the larger neighbourhoods mentioned.

Chinatown should be treated like a typical city block in Kerrisdale: Tear down all buildings more than 60 years old and replace them with huge gaudy box houses costing three million a pop, to be bought by overseas money.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
