Not correct. For that case whom earn over C$100,000. He did a lot of overtime, 7 days a week and many long shift per day. Maybe the guy who hit the car on weekend, did the same thing as maybe he was sleeping at the time.

yes, u r right
anyway their pay is not bad(maybe too high)

And it is ridiculous to read this, this guy is still paid by OC.
Also his name is called hurt, and this time he is really hurting some family badly.

.....................

While police contemplate charges against Lawrence Burt, he has been given indefinite paid leave to receive trauma counselling. Coincidentally, Mr. Burt's Gloucester apartment building overlooks the four-kilometre stretch of Highway 174 leading up to the scene of the collision

are you happy the dead ppl are not Chinese ?!?

It's mind-boggling as there is no apparent reason at this point that the bus driver could not avoid the stalled car. However I do not want to speculate that the bus driver hit the car on purpose since he is a veteran driver for more than 20 years... The whole thing makes no sense at all!

Not happy for any death.

What I mean is that it could be more sorrow for us, Chinese community, if the death is chinese. There are lots of Chinese death accident in Toronto and Vancouver.

I don't agree with your point of view. I don't feel any less sorrow for this terrible accident whether the victims be from the Sri Lankan community, aboriginal communicty, chinese community, vietnamese community, african community, indian community or hooplahoopla community. Tragedies are equally tragic, regardless of the race of the people who suffers.

Tragedies are equally tragic. Basically that's right. But the sorrow still can be different at some degree. Think about this way, if your friend had been hurt in this accident, you probably would feel more sorrow about it. You can say no, but I can say for most of people(including me) the answer is yes.

When viewing a tragic, people, of course, will have different degree of sorrow.

If one tragic happened to the people I know, or the poeple that I have the similar background as him/her, I will have deeper sorrow for sure. But it doesn't contain any sense of happiness when viewing the other's tragic.

I think you are missing Mitsumi's point: it was in response to the title of this post - I wish dead poeple are not Chinese --- Damn OC transpo. I was really stunned by it too: why does it matter what the victims' race is? Why has it even been brought up as an issue?! (no offense to Rock )

看来很多人对这个说法有异议。好吧，用中文说吧。

如果某一天在我们家附近的一个小学，出现什么事故，如果我朋友的儿子在那里上学，我说:"天啊，但愿他儿子没事"

这种反应有什么不对吗?

在英语里，如果我说:" I wish my friend was not involved in that accident." 会有什么负面的"隐含的意思"吗?

Maybe I should say in ENGLISH:

I wish no Chinese was involved in that tragedy. Any objection?
Any offence?

再引伸一下，关于英文表达。如果我说

(1) Wording One
"I wish non Chinese was involved in that tragedy."
那我就要吃官司了。

(2) Wording Two
"I wish the death in the accident was not Chinese"
这个表达可能会看得别扭，但应该没有冒犯谁。

上次BARHEAVEN事件中

那个CITY COUNSILOR 说
"Non whites invades Barheaven" 和"No white invades Barheaven"
意思应该是有区别的，请渐渐说是不是?


请各位英语高手补充。
