"Shouldn't exist" because it doesn't meet the "assimilation" requirements that you have for requiring people to enter and live in Canada?
We are getting into dangerous territory here. For the record I also think the issue is way over blown and exaggerated. We are talking about a few commercial signs in Richmond. I see articles going back to 2003 (referencing projects from 1991):

Richmond has been a place with a large Chinese population and people have been talking about this sign issue for at least a quarter century. This whole narrative that our culture is under imminent threat due to a few signs is not new, and most of all, not interesting, realistic, or even sane.
