NEWS WANTED: Vancouver City Hall Allows Cultural Smoking in Restaurants by Barry Artiste

NEWS WANTED 

Apparently this week Vancouver City Council listened to impassioned pleas from Cultural Groups, namely Restaurant Owners of Ethnic Restaurants who insist on Cultural Grounds their Clients be allowed  to smoke from Hookahs in their restaurants and Tea Houses. Well, it seems, City Council in faster than you can say "Light me up".  Vancouver City Council has approved smoking tobacco in  their  Restaurants.  For the life of me I  have  been trying to  get the link from both the Vancouver Province and Vancouver Sun who published this story September 25th, 2007, but for some reason it is unattainable on the web, which in itself is a impossibility, as every other story for that day and other stories in the archives for the past year are attainable.  With the Rash of Unreasonable accomodations for minorities and cultural groups being in the Forefront, recently with CKNW's Bruce Allen, one wonders if Journalistic Freedon for all is really free or have the powers to be at the Vancouver Sun, Canoe.com chose to eliminate this story off the face of the Web. 

If any Now Public Readers have any News on this Story, please publish it for our Readers.

I have been away working in Remote Villages along the Pacific coast for the last three days and just heard of this story.  

 

My Final Thoughts 

If this story is true and judging by short media blurbs, perhaps Bruce Allen is correct in his assumption that perhaps what I am hearing in Radio reports, the media, the Polls, the public opinion and in blogs that it is time for Canadians to state "NO" and New Canadians to assimilate, or re-immigrate.

It is indeed a sad state of affairs where one group of Canadians has priority over another in the never ending quest for Ethnic Votes in the name of diversity.
