Thanks for posting this. There is so much to take from such a short encounter. I propose a small project – one story a day from someone you don’t know. : )

It always amazes me to find you’ve connected with someone in such a short time. I fear that I spend far too much of my life shying away from people. I miss out on a lot, so for now, I’ll live vicariously through your stories.

I agree with Maclean’s and I am Chinese. It’s the truth about Asians. Asians are just too uptight and TOO ASIAN, lol, to accept the truth. What f**king idiots. If you can’t take it, then go back to China, you Asians.

I don’t think Asian (Chinese especially) students or their parents plotted and schemed to have their children invade and take over western academic institutes.Traditionally, education is prioritized and emphasized by especially the Chinese, Japanese and the Koreans and parents want their children to get the best possible education and hope to land a more comfortable and prosperous future by becoming professionals and intelligensias. Competition in getting a higher and good quality education in Asian countries or city like Hong Kong is extremely fierce ,therefore, the universities and colleges in the western hemisphere with their open door policy (as long as candidates meets their admission requirements and can pay the needed funds for the required programme)presents a good opportunity for education betterment.The doors of these academic institutes are supposed to be open to all that seeks further knowledge regardless of race and colour. So ;lets say if there are enough demand from a large enough number of qualifying cauccasian students we should see then an even larger percentage of so call “white” students in any campus than any other ethniticity and may I ask what is holding this group of students back in pursuing a higher education? Have they been in any way barred and discriminated from reaching a higher goal? Or has there been some racist laws that were in place( that no Canadians nor Americans heard of) that does not want to give the “white” young people an equal opportunity to obtain a post secondary education.? According to Findley and kohler and the stir this “Too Asian:” article is causing this seems to be the case. I think this out cry of campuses becoming “Too Asian” is rather unfair because the Oriental students and the caucasian students are all on equal footing when comes to be considered for admission in any of these higher academic institutions. The “white” young people in fact has so much more advantage over any of the so call Asians who really need to work extra extra hard to get in( because English is not their first language and many already have to struggle greatly to master that in their studies ) and to get through the system while the “white” young peers go drinking and partying and think that they are having the time of their life.So I can fairly say that if campuses want to be fairly “white” try and change the way “white culture” look at culture and teach the importance of education to children and the emphasis they want to instill in children concerning post secondary education from a younger age when children ‘s mind are more open and formidable. Just remember that Canada for sure does not and never have discriminated against the white populace and it’s absurd to start whimpering about campuses not “white” enough.

I agree that the message is inspirational, but I too hate this ad and her eyes and voice both grate on my nerves. Instead of using one person who frankly comes across as the epitome of “earnest-white-middle-class university-student” I think the message would be stronger if they had used a variety of Canadians in different settings. But I agree, it’s time for Canadians to step up

It’s a reference to the Blackberry, which was invented in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

The ad is certainly engaging, but annoying that the girl giving the little speech keeps flicking her eyes away from the camera…presumably to read the script.

Also, I just don’t get the line, “how we taught the world to type with our thumbs”…I’ve never used any Canadian’s thumbs to do my typing…nor am I likely to. But I’d settle for an explanation of its origins, please.
