Enbridge places English-language ad in Chinese-language newspaper

Talk about cultural sensitivity.

You would think that most people who read Chinese-language newspapers would be interested in Chinese-language ads, right?

That seems to have eluded the powers that be at Enbridge. The person who placed the ad above couldn't be bothered to translate a full-page English-language message into Chinese before it was placed in the Sing Tao newspaper.

Is it any wonder that the company's proposed Northern Gateway Project is in such trouble?

.83% or 10 million people in China speak English. That is a lot of people, a third of our population.
