At Ho Wan Restaurant in Calgary, the owners' son, Jason Zhang, says business is down about 70 per cent.
Coun. Druh Farrell, whose ward includes Chinatown, said council members went to the restaurant for lunch to show Calgarians it's safe to eat out. In Edmonton, the chairwoman of the Chinatown and Area Business Association said there's been a noticeable decline in activity this winter.Some of that drop, she said, could be related to the generally slower winter season and Alberta's sluggish economy."It's a concern," said Tonny Louie, chairman of the Chinatown Business Improvement Area. "People, in the back of their minds, they still wonder what will be next. This virus ... is pretty hard to contain.
Louie said the group will be handing out hand sanitizer and dispensers to all businesses to help ease fears.
Umm have you asked all the restaurants in Toronto if they noticed a drop in business? Instead of pushing this 'we are racist against Chinese' crap and actually did some investigating you would find that there is a drop in business everywhere in Toronto
That's not so right, actually, that they also get penalized like this.. But, something must be wrong in China:there was the Asian Flu in 1957, still from China and this, again, started from there. Instead, the Spanish Flu, in 1928-1920, killed 100 Million people and few travellin
So what? The real victims of this disease are North American equity holders (and taxpayers, by extension). The villains are the People’s Republic of China and every person who serves, supports, or sympathizes with that nation...
Duh. Bat soup sales down?
Well yeah!!
