Nothing more Canadian than a foreign national buying up Canadian brands and pretending they are Canadian.

Bonus points for trying to use Canadian pride in a time of turmoil to secure the purchase.

From what I read, she moved to Canada more than 10 years ago.

Chinese billionaire Weihong Liu shared videos online announcing her plans

I guess you didn't read the part immediately following the headline that doesn't include "Permanent Resident" "Chinese-Canadian Dual citizen" or "Canadian Citizen".

A Chinese billionaire in British Columbia has taken to social media to announce her plans to buy dozens of Hudson's Bay locations after she saw "Canadians feeling sad" over the collapse of the retail giant.

Probably means you didn't read the first paragraph where she immediately separates herself from Canadians, and thus her time living here meaningless in the conversation, because she still clearly sees herself as "Not a Canadian".

Actually, I read several more articles about her before I posted that, because I wanted to find out more. She moved to Canada in 2014, she is apparently a PR, and she seems to love Canada. Maybe you should check your xenophobia and read more before you post something.

Maybe you should check your xenophobia and read more before you post something.

The crutch of the person without an argument and an opinion article presented as fact. If she truly wanted to be Canadian she can easily be a citizen. Especially as a Billionaire business owner.

Maybe you should stop acting like the opinion is xenophobic when I will say the same thing about any rich foreign cunt buying up Canadian business' while pretending to be "Canadian" and never becoming a citizen.

Take care.

This isn't a debate, and you're clearly here just to be a pain in the ass. Why don't you find something better to do with your time?

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know, people who aren't very bright can usually easily make up for that by just being diligent, such as by reading a bit more before posting. People who aren't very bright and who are committed to ignorance because it confirms their ideological biases have a much harder time figuring things out. I see that's where you're at, so you're not worth interacting with further. Hopefully you overcome that hurdle some day.

Good day.

Man I wish I had farts that smelled as good as yours.
