1 [AI]

**Vancouver** has one of the largest Chinese populations outside of Asia, with **512,260** Chinese Canadians residing in the **Greater Vancouver** metropolitan area as of the **2021 Census**. This group comprises approximately **19.4%** of the region's total population, making them the largest visible minority group in the area.

The community is heavily concentrated in specific municipalities, particularly **Richmond**, where **54.3%** of the population is Chinese, and **Burnaby**, where **33.3%** identifies as Chinese. While **Toronto** has a larger total Chinese population nationally (39.6% of Canada's Chinese population), **Vancouver** (29.9%) remains the city with the highest proportion of Chinese residents among major Canadian census metropolitan areas.

Key demographic factors driving this concentration include:
* **Historical Presence**: Chinese laborers arrived in the late 19th century to help build the Canadian Pacific Railway, establishing early communities like Vancouver's Chinatown.
* **Immigration Waves**: Significant influxes occurred from **Hong Kong** in the 1980s and 1990s due to political uncertainty, followed by a surge in immigrants from **Mainland China** starting in the 2000s.
* **Economic Ties**: Vancouver's proximity to Asia and its status as a Pacific Rim hub have attracted skilled workers, investors, and students from across the Chinese-speaking world.
* **Linguistic Diversity**: The community speaks various Chinese languages, with **Mandarin** and **Cantonese** being the most common, reflecting the diverse origins of recent immigrants.

2 Share intel with Canada so they can share that intel with their Chinese Pay Masters, no thank you.

But we should occupy it as it has become a security threat. Canada allowed Chinese Military to observe their winter training a few years back, that was the first time chinese milatary was on north american soil. Big betrayal by our little brother.

3 It's the same reason Putin invaded Ukraine. Zelensky cozied up to NATO and Putin saw it as an existential threat to Russia. So Canada cozies up to Chicoms and what are we supposed to think of that? A PLA presence in Canada would be a causus belli.

4 But then, I figured Biden was a Chinese tool as well.

5 The integration at NORAD is total, so disengagement will be monumentally complex. NOFORN classification should have a new "NOCAN" subset that might help.

6 I say no way on sharing intel with Canadian intel/security.

I wish FVEY had one less member. Well, two less members, actually.
