Chinese Canadians say: 'Go Die Somewhere Else!'
In a bid to raise their property values, some Canadians of Chinese ancestry have put the completion of a Vancouver hospice on hold. It was supposed to be a place where people would spend their last days before passing on. However, concerns were raised over the cultural sensitivity of this as people from China view death differently.

But then they have public executions in China when Canada does not. http://asiadeathpenalty.blogspot.com/2008/08/public-executions-in-chinas-olympic.html It's sort of possible that the People's Republic is culturally offensive to Canadians.
