back to their families in the old country

The barbers remaining are mostly middle eastern and north indians ie Muslim

That is because in Muslem countries visting the barber is a daily routine so there a
lot of highly skilled Muslem barbers. In Muslem countries men visit the barber and
then the tea room every day, in that order.

There are two that I go to in Vancouveder and they are very professional and exceptionally polite

They are also, unlike stylists, skilled in shaving, including straight razor, and short
haircuts They even do face massage cheap cheap. They trim nose and ear hair
which most North American men don't even do themselves

We have had a very old Muslem presence in Vancouver with a large Mosque located
in Richmond

The only time it was attacked is when some redneck highschool turd
confused it with a Sikh Gudwara

I regularily see anti Israel/Iranian protest marches in front of my apartment at least
once or twice a year

It is as common and accepted as the Vancouver Pride Parade

I mean really, if you want a decent short hair cut go to a Moslem He'll even offer you
a cup of tea if you ask
