Paging Mark Steyn: Canada's Money is Racist
nationalreview.com | Nov 30th -0001  In an unusual move, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney apologized on Monday for bank note changes that prompted critics to accuse the central bank of racism. The initial design for the new C$100 note featured a picture of an Asian woman but this was scrapped after focus groups expressed concern Asians should not be the only ethnic group represented. When the bill was released into circulation last year, the Asian woman had been removed and replaced by a woman who looked to be Caucasian, prompting complaints from Chinese groups and media commentators. . . My 4-year-old daughter told me that Barack Obama is the guy on the US$5 bill, so at least we're not racist. |
