The father, together with the second wife and the son, conspire to the killing, even though they know full well that this is against the laws in Canada. No matter, they want to practice their own customs, even as they want to stay in their adopted country. Their total disregard of another human beings, trampling on women and girls like dogs, is beyond disgust to me. I'm so glad that they get life sentence. I wish to rot in jail, and in hell.
The story also highlights a point of how some immigrants' total disregard of the local culture, customs and laws, even as they try to stay in the foreign land. During my travel to Asia, I've seen more than a few incidents when mainland Chinese, emblazoned by their new-found wealth, thump their nose on the locals as if they're dogs, in order to have their ways. The currygate incident in Singapore is a case in point. The same goes, with Kong Qingdong, the so-called professor in China, who is blatant enough to insult Hong Kong as "running dog" of the colonialism (referenced to the Hong Kong history which has flourished under the British rule for a hundred years into a world class city), all because a mainland Chinese parent blatantly ignored the local rules for disallowing eating in the MTR in order to keep clean and allowing their kids to eat noodles on the train. But of course, Kong doesn't stop that; watch his insult to Taiwan as well. I'm not sure how this man gets to his professorship, given the very uncivilized ways of basic arguments, without regard to basic facts and simple analysis of what's right and what's wrong.
Those are the prices to pay, for the rise in China. I've known the passive-aggressive nature of mainland Chinese. Granted that I've met a lot of mainland Chinese who are civil and totally respect local laws and custom, there are times when one or two bad applies, like Kong or the immigrant Chinese family in the currygate incident, are enough to leave much bad aftertaste in my mouth.
