不同意LZ的论点。
我不是公民，也并不支持什么党，但是LZ的论点明显是不成立的。就像Harper攻击Dion的政策就是加税。。。呵呵，这明显是误导糊弄老百姓。

In 2000, 26% of the Chinese population in Canada had incomes below these official low-income cut-offs, compared with 16% of the overall population. As well, a relatively large share of Chinese children live in low income families. That year, 27% of Chinese children under the age of 15 lived in a situation considered to be low income, compared with 19% of all children in Canada.
