If this were a local matter confined to toxic former Liberal candidate Karen Wang, fine. Karen Wang, the former Liberal candidate in Burnaby South, managed to defeat herself before the byelection was even held, Heather Mallick writes. Can’t groups of Canadians focus on what they have in common — the rule of law, Chinese food as great as Indian food, kayaking, Canadian Tire — rather than the tiny things that differentiate them?

Wang has lived in Canada for 30 years, long enough to understand Canadian silence on certain subjects: money, race, religion.
