As a Chinese Canadian, I feel racially degraded when I watched the B.C. Liberal Party's Campaign Ad on Fairchild TV (a Chinese TV channel from Vancouver). This ad is shown repeatedly and Chinese Canadians are being told that a NDP government would take away our children's RESPs etc. if they are elected as the next provincial government. I have not seen the same advertisement on any English speaking channel, so I am left to wonder if the Liberals think that ethnic British Columbians are so gullible that we would accept anything said in a campaign advertisement as gospel truth. I feel this is a prime example of the B.C. Liberal's racial prejudice.
The Liberals are desperate for a win on any count - but playing patronizing ads that are meant to demean the intelligence of voters is not the way to win my ethnic vote.
