Bachelor of Arts edit
The CBC 2004 summary indicates that Chong received his BA. Do you have evidence to contradict this? CJCurrie 03:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Chinese In the Lead edit
Do we really need all the variations of Chinese in the lead? Michael was born in Canada. I get that he has Chinese roots, but his name in traditional Chinese appears in the info box on the right. It seems to only clutter (and distract from) the information in the lead, as such I am going to boldly remove it. If others disagree, I invite comments here.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
- There is a Chinese language article on him as well: [1]. Perhaps we could create a link on the Chinese characters so those interested could connect to the Chinese language site.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 20:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Undid naming of position within the Conservatives back from "Shadow Cabinet", a term Conservatives have used but has little history in Canadian Politics and is not official. edit
Undid naming of position within the Conservatives back from "Shadow Cabinet", a term Conservatives have used but has little history in Canadian Politics and is not official.
This seems to be a tactic to make their members sound like they are Ministers. In fact, this is a term borrowed from UK politics and is practically meaningless in Canadian Politics, outside of making Conservative members sound better.
As such, I removed it.
Please comment before re-adding.
Note: The IP that added this also made largely favourable updates for solely Canadian Conservative content, leading me to suspect they are either high-level members of the party or directly work for them, thus rendering them unsuitable as updating to Wikipedia. I would ask people who wish to change this to engage the talk page first. -Kirkoconnell (talk) 16:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
