Does Singapore hate Canada?

[steffychun]

Why is there only a non-resident High Commissioner based in Singapore and no proper HC based in Canada?

not hate lahh...it just shows the level of importance SG attached to the country-to-country relationship.

obviously SG values UK, Australia, USA, etc more than Canada

Interestingly it has a big operation here despite not having a non-resident HC. They handle migration for locals, foreign maids, nurses etc. No economic synergies though.

Canada seems to view SG high enough to have a HC here. But SG is no friend in return

There are only three things of importance to Canucks:

1.Trade with the US. (>80%)
2. Ice-Hockey
3. Legalization of Pot, someday.

Cheers!

JW5 where are you?

I don't see people getting excited about Curling, not even as much as soccer, Tim Horton's, that's because buggers don't have much of a choice, Country Style is even worse!

Cheers!

I think that's Quebec. Almost another country.

Cheers!

And Singapore?

To the Canadians I know, Singapore is the place where they caned that Yankee vandal Michael Fay.

Cheers!

It's on most menus in bars and steak houses in Canada. Just like wings.

Didn't know Canadians came to Singapore to get high. Time magazine rated BC Bud to be the most potent weed,

Cheers!

I must be in some ethnic neighbourhood, most eateries where I'm at serve samosas. No poutine here, got goat's milk though.

Cheers!

I'm guessing there are probably too few resident Sinkies in Canada to justify setting up a HC?
For U.S, U.K and Oz, quite a few go over for work and study so it makes sense to have a HC in these places. Also, strong economic and military ties with these countries.

Any Canadian based sinkies care to comment?

 

[mayliewwan]

Annual participation in Maple Flag exercise in CFB Cold Lake air weapon range with NATO countries. Few Sinkies and little economic ties. So an insignificant red dot to Singapore
