The City That Had Too Much Money
$1:
The black coupe pulled up outside the Starlight Casino in a suburb of Vancouver. The driver got out, greeted a man in a red shirt, and pulled two bulging white plastic bags from the trunk. He led the way into an empty noodle shop next door, where he handed over the bags before returning to the car. The man in the red shirt took the bags into the casino, through a cavernous glass lobby with signs in English and Mandarin. At a cashier’s desk, he opened one of the bags to present his cargo: thousands of green Canadian $20 bills, bound into loose bricks with yellow plastic bands.
The cashier’s counting machine would need to run continuously for more than 10 minutes to riffle through all the notes, which came to more than C$250,000 ($192,000). Converted into chips that could be cashed out later, whether or not they’d been wagered at the tables, the money would be spendable anywhere in Canada, unimpeded by questions of provenance.

Of course it is, Growing up it was called Hong-couver or Van-kong. I'm not shocked that its slowly being converted into a Chinese city.

Don't be shocked when the Chinese raise the Chinese flag over the city and declare it their territory.

Sheldon Adelson does the same thing in Las Vegas yet no one says he's trying to colonize the place on behalf of Israel.

More likely the driver's name was Singh. The Red Shirt was a Falducci. The noodle shop was empty as rent and land taxes were so high it failed, the landlord was some well known multinational realtor and 4 BC Liberal cabinet ministers owned shares in the casino, which is why they ignored repeated warnings of money laundering and shut down police investigations over the decades they were in power.
But then again, everyone knows there's lots of Asians in the Lower Mainland so "noodle shop" and "signs in Mandarin" trigger instant fears of Communist invasions and mongrelization of the white race among the usual Gang of Goons.
Funny how they can turn the major scandal over money laundering into yet another racist rant.
