中國人移民加拿大還這樣搞, 在加拿大將非講普通話的人全部踢出議會

明目張膽將加拿大變成中國殖民地

中國人超級會利用民主國家賦予的民主
去剝奪提供民主選舉給中國人的民主國家原住民的民主

現在加拿大的中國人意氣風發, 再搞下去就是外國全面暴力排華

╮(﹀_﹀")╭



Andreas透過電郵質問該業主議會主席時，他得到的回覆是：「我們無意在12月8日會議上
使用英語，這是最有效率的。」他更指，有中國人業主議會成員更製造流言，指非講普
通話的人竊取議會的金錢。

Andreas補充指，中國人奪權後透過議會辭退已為他們服務多年的管理公司。

當地的省房屋廳總裁Tony Gioventu指，在加拿大法定語言（英文以及法文）下，有人無
法以法定語言通信，絕對是一個人權問題。

Chinese-only strata council prompts human rights complaint

Claim alleges non-Mandarin speakers were racially excluded with proxy votes

Andreas Kargut is leading a class-action Human Rights Tribunal claim against
his strata council, which he claims has discriminated against non-Mandarin
speaking homeowners. Dec. 2015.

A group of Richmond homeowners has filed a complaint with the BC Human Rights
Tribunal after allegedly being discriminated against by a new
Chinese-speaking strata council.

Andreas Kargut, who filed the claim on behalf of several other Wellington
Court strata members, told the Richmond News a group of Mandarin-speaking
homeowners purposefully voted out non-Mandarin speaking members from council.

Since then, the new council has moved to conduct all official business,
including council meetings, in Mandarin.

“Anyone they deemed who was non-Mandarin speaking, they ousted,” said
Kargut.

Wellington Court is a 54-unit townhouse development on Heather Street near
Garden City Park.

“For the most part, it was a very harmonious place to live,” said Kargut.

The new council was largely formed in 2014 after one Chinese member gathered
a large number of proxy ballots to vote out the non-Mandarin speaking council
members, contended Kargut.

A recent email to Kargut from the new strata president, Ed Mao, states: “We
have no intention of using English during the meeting on December the 8th.
That’s the most efficient way for the team this year.”

Mao could not be reached for comment.

Kargut said some strata members took issue with a paint job that had cost
overruns following the discovery of some rotting wood beams in need of
replacement.

He said the members started rumours that the non-Mandarin speakers were
stealing from the contingency fund.

The present council also fired its long-time property manager, First Service
Residential (via Colliers in a portfolio acquisition), with 37 proxy ballots
this summer.

“So now we have an all-Manadarin speaking council that fired our property
manager and brought on another company.

“I think they were searching for a property manager that was cheaper,” said
Kargut, who attended the last meeting as an observer.

“I wanted to see if they had the nerve to go ahead with (Mandarin only),”
 he said.

“At the end, he asked if I had any questions, but how was I supposed to ask
any questions when I couldn’t understand what was going on for the past hour
and a half?” noted Kargut.

Prior to the alleged discriminatory takeover, the past council had offered
official interpretation services for Mandarin speakers. Wellington Court also
already featured several bilingual outdoor signs.

Kargut said the new council told him it would hire its own interpreter for
English speakers but not an official interpreter. He suspects that decision
had to do with costs.

Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Homeowners’
 Association, told the Richmond News he’s never seen a case like this. While
he’s seen “three or four” instances in Richmond over the past five years
concerning language problems, all of them have been resolved “quickly” with
English-to-Mandarin translation services, not the other way around.

There is nothing in the B.C. Strata Property Act that defines what languages
can be used in official strata meetings. However, Gioventu noted that
official languages apply to legislative procedures and the court systems.

“The big question is whether that would extend to a strata corporation
because it is bound by provincial legislation,” said Gioventu.

The News asked the Ministry Responsible for Housing for legal clarification.

“The Strata Property Act does not specify what language strata meetings
should be conducted in or require interpretation services.  A strata
corporation may wish to get advice from a lawyer on how best to meet the
various language preferences of its owners,” the Ministry said, via email.

“It’s a human rights issue in any case because English and French are our
official languages and these individuals are not capable of communicating for
the business of their strata underneath provincial legislation. So that’s
what opens the door,” added Gioventu.

He said the problem in Richmond may lie in the extreme concentration of
Mandarin speakers in the city.

“I don’t know what the solution is.

“I go to some communities where everyone speaks Punjabi, and there’s only
one person who doesn’t speak Punjabi, and they’re very respectful and
conduct their business in English. But, even there, there have been some
serious misunderstandings about how the law applies as a result of the
interpretations,” noted Gioventu, who believes it is imperative to have
official translation services.

Presently, strata fees are under $200 per month, Kargut said, but the fear
amongst the outcast members is that the property will not be maintained
properly.

Kargut points to a cement slab at the sidewalk entrance to one of the homes
that has recently been raised. It poses a tripping hazard to visitors and is
on common property.

“We’d usually have that fixed in no time, but it’s just sitting there now,
” he said.

Gioventu said immigrants from densely populated cities tend not to understand
the concept of common property and its required maintenance.

“It’s not just a Chinese thing.

“One of the challenges we have seen is there’s a sense of basically running
your building to failure. You use it as best you can, and then you sell it
off because land is in such high demand,” he said.

The complaint has yet to be considered by the Tribunal.
