The VPD stated in a news release that on the afternoon of March 13, a 92-year-old man who wandered into a convenience store near Nanaimo Street and East 1st Avenue. As he suffers from severe dementia, he was distraught and confused.
As staff at the store attempted to assist the senior, a suspect began yelling racist remarks at the man, including comments about COVID-19.
The suspect grabbed the elderly victim by the arm, forced him out of the store, and shoved him to the ground, causing the victim to hit his head. The suspect left before police arrived at the scene.
Res54さんのおっしゃっている事、 その通りだなと思います。
日本でバス、電車に高齢者、妊婦さん等を見かけたら「どうぞ。」と席を譲りましょう、ですけどこちらカナダでは「Do you want to sit?」と一言聞きますよね。
「どうぞ。」といって半分腰をあげた状態での「結構です。」これ、ツラい。。。
個人的に、カナダ流「座りたいか?」の方が理にかなっている。
