(lygenztia *168) The "free lunch" (for Canadians)


On Canada Day, the Mandarin restaurant opened its doors free of charge to anyone that could prove Canadian citizenship. Jimmy Chiu is the co-founder of the Mandarin and a true Canadian. He immigrated to Canada about 5 years ago, set up his business and provided employment for many other Canadians. What a great way to show your patriotism and give something back to the country that has been so good to you.

It sure is nice to see someone, for a change, give recognition on a large scale to our wonderful country.

So, what’s the problem you ask ?

Now, he is being slagged for being “exclusionary” and “violating people’s human rights” for allowing only Canadians in for free. What a joke. People were complaining that they couldn’t get in, that the line ups were too long. That’s because it was FREE.

When something is FREE, you should expect some inconvenience. Because other people are also going to come, to take advantage of something that’s FREE. At least, if you have time to wait in line-ups ALL DAY just for a free lunch.......think of the rest of the Canadians, that go to work....... each and every day to pay for our lunch.

I plan to go to the Mandarin soon, to show my support….and I’m going to bring my money.

Support for Jimmy Chiu, a true Canadian.

Thanks Mandarin!
