…and becomes the first non-white President of the US. So what about Canada? We have had so far, two non-white Governors-General, who represent the British monarch (and our Head of State), but when will we have a non-white Prime Minister? While I don’t think it would happen in the next few years, I do believe it will soon. And when it does happen, most likely, the person will be male, Canadian born or raised and South Asian (since there are a decent number of South Asians (compared to other non-white groups…and I’m pretty sure there’s more than one MP who is Canadian born and/or raised, opposed to East Asians) who are involved with public office). I also don’t think the time will come for people of East Asian descent for a even longer time. If Canadians are critical of Stephane Dion’s Quebecois-accented English, what will they think of a foreign accent? Until more East Asian Canadians who were born/raised here run for office, leadership of a major party is NOT going to happen.
