IN the story about the Canadian prime minister's visit (South China Morning Post, November 11) your reporter described my home province of British Columbia as one of Canada's 'densely populated regions'. My latest almanac says that 3.3 million British Columbians live in its 366,000 square miles - that's less than 10 per square mile. The whole territory of Hong Kong, by comparison has an average of 17,000 per square mile. Now that's what I would call densely populated.
