Also Newfoundland has a stupid half our time zone. What's up with that?

Newfoundland was once an independent country. The Newfies quickly realized it was a bad idea to trust themselves to run their own country, so hey actually asked the UK to take their independence away before joining Canada

Main and Hastings is a worse slum than anything I've seen in the western US (never been to the east) but you'll never get mugged or be a victim of physical violence there. It's just a bunch of sad mentally ill addicts who congregate there because that's where all the social services and drugs are.

Petty theft is a huge problem though. I parked my car in the longshoreman parking across the rail tracks when I worked there because they know not to gently caress with longshoremen.

Just came back from BC. The Guu branch and the Taiwanese restaurant are the only thing that redeems Aberdeen Centre. Over the last fifteen years the whole area has just doubled down on ridiculous lies like "The Yaohan Centre has 8...0 stores" and "yes our plethora of Asian malls are totally not half filled with identical empty apothecaries".

it's nice otherwise

Vancouver's a hosed up place of extremes, not really like the rest of Canada. I live directly north of that slum, across the inlet, where no one bats an eye at $2.5 million for a 1,700 square foot three bedroom condo that looks like this



Don't mind the busy trucking/commuter road, major bus loop, active shipyard and industrial rail lines surrounding you

Listing with more photos/info: http://www.realtylink.org/prop_search/Detail.cfm?areatitle=&ARPK=&ComID=&agentid=&MLS=V1077740

And if you're thinking "well it's a different country, maybe wages are higher etc." no, average income is about $36,000, the local economy is mediocre at best, and its only real draw for Canadians is natural beauty near by and you may not freeze to death in winter. Like if you're into hiking/mountain biking/kayaking it's paradise, but those people aren't dropping 2.5 million loonies on a condo. See china.jpg for who is.

Today, I'm going to say goodbye to my wife and son, brave the bitter cold and snow (and traffic) and travel eastbound on the ice-caked Hwy 40 to my job. I will pass many a Tim Horton's, but I will not indulge. I will have CBC on in the car, they will talk about hockey, but I will not care. I will not say 'eh', even once at work.

I am (a faux) Canadian.

Meanwhile, do any of you remember when the Timmies box for a dozen donuts was designed to look like an actual TH restaurant? That was cool. Scaled well with hot wheels, too.

When Timmy's came to my home town people got excited because that means a dozen more jobs were coming to that shithole. Ended up that Horton's just brought in a dozen Filopino's to run the place. That soured more than a few people, but it didn't stop them from getting their double doubles though.
