It was only a matter of time before some Chinese started demanding services in Chinese because they don't feel the desire or need to speak English. If you go to a place like Markham or Richmond Hill north of Toronto, there are shopping centres, banks, even city buses where everything is in Chinese and someone speaking only English may be completely out of luck. A housing development went up near where I once worked in Markham, and some Chinese co-workers who bought a house there commented that pretty much everything had been sold to Chinese, and that was the plan. People who come to Canada must expect to be able to speak one of the official languages and interact to some extent with the rest of Canadian society, otherwise why should they expect to be welcome here? It is as if Canada were some sort of open party where strangers come in, grab some food, and go sit by themselves in a corner.
