Great question.
We also need to ask: why it’s happening, how it’s been allowed to continue, and who is responsible. – at Ottawa, Ontario

This is what’s happening in Vancouver Chinatown today.
Years of policy choices pushed addiction and disorder into one neighborhood — and local communities are left to absorb the consequences.
We cannot allow Ottawa Chinatown to follow the same path.@fordnation @_MarkSutcliffe – at Ottawa, Ontario

Met up with my good friend Yukang Li, Executive Director of @OttChinatown BIA.
The federal government is investing $250,000 to support our local businesses and tourism in Chinatown. This will help build 2 new sculptures—attracting more tourists and business.

So sad to see that someone has vandalized the nice public art in Chinatown with “white and proud.”
So awful and racist.
@OttChinatown has worked so hard to make the community vibrant with nice art and it’s so sad to see it ruined with vandalism.
