Queen Beatrix

Immense Contribution Dept: David Lam emigrated from Hong Kong, made an immense contribution to our province, and became our first lieutenant-governor of Chinese descent. He never stopped advising immigrants to become Canadian in every way, according to Vancouver Sun. Many years later, while in government, Mrs. Loenen and I met the Dutch Queen Beatrix. Bursting with pride I spoke a few words in Dutch. The Queen immediately pricked my balloon. When in Canada I never speak Dutch, neither should you! It is disrespectful to those who do not know our language and Re: Chinese-only signs in Richmond , Graham Harrop View, March 23 I came to Richmond from Holland as a child. My father made sure all of us became Canadian citizens at the first opportunity. He said if you benefit from this country you should contribute as a citizen. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
