以下是几个发给City的反对卡城唐人街建大麻店的意见供大家参考。为了达到反对的效果，请不要简单复制，而是请每个人按照不同大麻申请店周围的情形用自己的话写一下再发出：

I have lived in Calgary since 1990.

I strongly oppose the proposed development of a cannabis store in Chinatown, because this store could badly ruin Chinatown's Feng Shui, therefore, seriously destroy her culture and businesses. I am sure, once the store is set up, majority of Chinese people would hesitate to come to Chinatown for shopping and dining. A cannabis store could turn Calgary's lovely Chinatown to a ghost town. I doubt the city Mayer and the counsellor would like to take this historical responsibility. I wish Not.

Please turn down this development!

Keep Chinatown away from any cannabis!

Thank you for attention.

Hi there,

I strongly disagree the plan of opening a cannabis store at 100 4 AV SW. Why is it going to be set in the Chinatown area? As you know, Immigrants of Asian heritage reject cannabis in their culture, and absolutely this cannabis store will bring horror and upset to the majority of the population living or working in this neighborhood. I would be super disappointed if this application gets approved, as the approval would indicate the disrespect and discrimination to the local community. As every Canadian is proud of, we are in a multicultural country, so please kindly understand the diversity of different culture, especially respecting the group of people who are living in the area which would have the unusual plan with certain risk such as opening the cannabis store. We, as the people who live and work everyday in this area would greatly appreciate if the government could listen to the local residents' voice.

I’m looking forward to hearing any further information, which could show the city’s consideration and responsibility on local community’s benefit instead of ignorance.

Best regards,

To Whom It May Concern,

As I've just noticed the plan of building up a cannabis store around Chinatown, I would like to express my strong objection here. I have two small kids and we pass by that area every day. I couldn't imagine how we would experience after the opening of that store. It's not the right location for opening that type of store. I would stand out to protest this bad idea for my family's safety for sure.

Please seriously consider if you're going to approve this awful plan.

Many thanks,

Hello,

May I say "No" to the application of opening a cannabis store at 100 4 Ave SW?

As the resident here, I never use cannabis, and I never heard any of my neighbours needed them. oppositely, most people living in this area don't like cannabis. We have strong concern in the negative impact on local economics and the community'd security. It is very unreasonable and inadvisable to open a cannabis store around the people who hate it. It doesn't make sense to the residents here!

Could I get a chance to speak with the department which is responsible for this plan? I sincerely hope our government could listen to the residents' thoughts.
