这个市长说,对传递错误信息的人感到羞耻。请愿书中没有说有5000 asylum seeker 要来万锦。倒是华咨处领头写的声明说到支持万锦市长与York Catholic District School Board合作,在万锦用空置房子来安排5000 asylum seeker。
"As community organizations working with residents of Markham, we welcome the proposal by Mayor Frank Scarpitti to co-ordinate with the York Catholic District School Board to host 5,000 asylum seekers at unused buildings in Markham."
见 18个华人团体发声明支持万锦市长挺难民. https://info.51.ca/news/canada/2018-08/672518.html
这个声明被一些英文媒体引用. 它后来把5000改成了一些:
见 Markham Should Open its Door to Refugees, https://www.cicscanada.com/articles/130/Markham_Should_Open_its_Door_to_Refugees
把反对非法越境者等同反对难民,市长有意偷换概念。
万锦市长可以嘲笑和贬低华人英语水平?
