"Human rights and legal experts agreed the Coquitlam golf club is within its legal rights to limit membership, but Prof. Michael Inzlicht of the University of Toronto suggested the club has a social responsibility to accommodate - not exclude - immigrants."
It's also "likely" the rules can be challenged in court. Do you think some Liberal Lawyer who wants to make a name for himself won't take this opportunity and at least try.
"lily" said Yes, it will hold up in Canada. You really should read the article before commenting.
Insanity in Canada (and the rest of Western Civilization) seems to have no limits these days. It will not surprise me in the least to see a Canadian judge issue an order that utterly defies common sense.

Of course it wouldn't, because you expect it.
It's posts like this one that make people question your Cool Yankie medal, Bart. You really aren't as pro-Canada as you try to portray yourself. There is being pro-Canada, and being realistic.
They arent saying immigrants cant join, all they are saying is that they want all members to communicate in english, so all members can understand the same set of rules and more importantly socialize with each other over some brandy and cigars.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with their policy, it makes perfect sense if you open your eyes and see the truth of what is being said!!!
"The club's general manager, Brent Gough, has said the policy is designed to ensure all members are able to communicate and understand the club's rules."
This has nothing to do with race religon or sex, all they want is for those who wish to be a member to speak english, they dont care what other languages someone speaks or where they came from.
Clubs of this type are a status symbol that usually cost more to join than we make in a year.
who cares...cuz most of the families can barely afford housing let allow golf lessons on top of it for their kids...fucking learn english...i just want to see a barrier for some
but he told CBC that the policy was introduced a few years ago after prospective members - in particular East Asian immigrants - started applying with the help of translators.
All of this is a matter of common sense. They cannot expect to rule everywhere they go. About time someone took a stand.
Don't like it, then go play somewhere else. Better yet, there are golf courses in Asia, go there. And while you are at it, bring Lily with you.
I am actually in support of this; fluently speaking English is a skill that a person should definitely have in Canada. Making it a requirement for a private golf course, I see, is as akin to making the skill to sail a requirement of a sailing club.
i think that proffesor has it backward when he says the club should do whatever it can to accommodate the immigrants. they should be doing everything they can to fit in with the clubs regulations if they wish to join.
B.C. Human Rights Commissions will be getting complaints within a weeks, I'm sure.

I dunno, Lily. Maybe you're right.

I for one admire their stance.
