“China watchers in B.C. expect return of expats from Hong Kong.” As one of my students wrote me, “Best to get out now. That potential extradition agreement is horrifying.”

I imagine that most of these expats will be coming to my neck of the woods in the Lower Mainland. It is hard to conceive how this will affect our services, infrastructure, and education. I would take an educated guess and say that most of these folk come from families that already own property here.
