Quite a few of you proud Asian Canadians wrote into inform me that Vancouver police Deputy Chief
Jim Chu has just been named the city's new chief constable:
Deputy to become new Vancouver police chief. He's apparently the first chief of Asian descent to serve Vancouver (or any major Canadian city, for that matter). A 28-year veteran of the force, he was one of just three Chinese-Canadian officers when he enlisted in 1979. Now he's the top cop. More here:
Vancouver, meet your new police chief
