What is the relationship between Vancouver and Cantonese?

Hong Kong was a colony in the 1970s, ten years before and after.

But the most important thing seems to be that in the 1970s and 1980s, a huge economic crisis occurred in Hong Kong, which led many businessmen to emigrate to Canada. Most of them went to Vancouver and Toronto. Then slowly, more people from China went to Vancouver and Toronto. So there are many people from China in these two places. Secondly, because Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong, many people in Vancouver can speak it.

Another important factor is that before the founding of New China, Mandarin was not the official language of China, and not everyone in China spoke Mandarin. So many people will wonder, if you live in a Chinese community, why don't you speak Mandarin?

Besides, Cantonese is not a dialect of China internationally, but a language with its own Chinese characters.

Ps. At that time, most Hong Kong businessmen immigrated to Canada, and then, in fact, many rich people had their own family chefs. Many of them brought their own chefs when they immigrated. Later, they came back (see what a lot of TVB stars came back from Canada), but the chef didn't come back, took root in Canada and opened a Chinese restaurant. Then you will see that Chinese food in Toronto and Vancouver is particularly good, and even some places are more delicious than Guangdong.
