Richmond: Community Affiliation

richmond: In translation, part of the ad paid for by a group called Richmond Community Concerns reads You should know that NDP advocates for drug injection sites, gender-neutral washrooms, encourages sex education to young children and supports same sex marriage, according to CBC. The newspapers have large circulations and are widely read by Chinese-Canadians and the broader Chinese community. The ads, which were published in the Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily newspapers and ran on Chinese-language radio, were directed at NDP Richmond South Centre candidate and current city councillor Chak Au. It is not clear who Richmond Community Concerns is, whether it is backed by a political party or has a specific community affiliation. An 'embarassment' Dora Ng, a Chinese-Canadian trans and queer rights advocate, says the ads are not only personally hurtful and an embarrassment, but throw the Chinese-Canadian community under the bus. The group was not registered with Elections BC at the time the ads were published. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
