West Vancouver Councilors comments on Ambleside visitors spark backlash

 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/west-vancouver-councillor-ambleside-beach 

Sometimes its as if there is a harking back to a British Colonial dream to have BC as a Whiteman's paradise. Fortunately, over the decades, nonwhite people have gradually been allowed to live in WV and even buy property. Unfortunately, the KEEP+THEM+OUT mentality occasionally resurfaces.

Any dynamic city or cosmopolitan metropolis will have people from all over the world. However, for those who remember a time when WV was predominantly White, it can be upsetting for some to see a bunch of multicultural visitors to WV. That's odd, because the days of WV being some type of a Whiteman's playground are suppose to be long gone.

Curiously, there is still no highway tunnel to West Vancouver from Downtown Vancouver. No train from downtown to the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, either. If a wall can't be built around WV, perhaps the next best thing was to symbolically not build proper big city infrastructure between downtown and WV. 

Mercer_Island,_Washington is a well to do enclave like WV. Yet, MI has a good highway and train link to Seattle.

West Vancouver councillors comments

A multicultural metropolitan region is supposed to be open to people of all colors and cultures.

Perhaps there are some who would like to see all nonwhite visitors to WV be required to have an access permit.

Of course that would be so absurd, because the days of WV being a Whiteman's paradise ended decades ago. The KEEP+THEM+OUT mentality and agenda has taken on various forms since the early days of BC.

Despite being so much smaller than WV, Monaco can still have taller buildings and even wealthier people.

While during the summer one can sort of pretend that West Vancouver is a little like Monaco, BC is still more like a movie set imitation of things.
