Not even remotely close. The nightlife? It’s gone considerably down hill.

night life in North America outside of NYC has gone to shit since Covid.

The rise in crime…. the SRO’s being built without the actual resources or help needed to support the occupants housed there, the constant shrinking of funding towards public services, ideologues like Ken Sim in the council who have no idea what the f*** they’re doing.

This is a world wide problem also since Covid. You have no idea how bad it is in the states.

I don’t recall much about Vancouver’s socioeconomic change in the early 2000’s considering I wasn’t even here and I was still an ignorant pre teen/teen. And I don’t have the 90’s to reference either, but as I understand, Vancouver has gone downhill pretty much ever since the turn of the century, but ESPECIALLY, within the last decade.

Also this is a world wide thing, the wealth gap is crazy everywhere these days.

Montreal night life was pretty good last I was out there. Toronto’s scene isnt really my scene but that city is live.

I know people who still really love Nashville’s out and about life.

Heard good shit about scottsdale too

Pre pandemic Prague and London were pretty good if we are talking world wide. Never been huge into the scene here, did have good times in Montreal, but my style is different now. Don’t really want to party like the old days. Rather just grab a beer or something.

Sure

It just seems silly to get wound up if you know that's what he's trying to do. If he was doing this to Oilers' fans you'd probably think it was funny. I sure would.

I don't get that anyone is taking him very seriously, in fact quite the opposite. Posters are mostly pointing out that his takes lack substance and they're written more as click bait.

As for the team, yes, it does seem to have good bones (at least with Pettersson making an appearance), but are a couple of vertebrae short and maybe a radius and ulna as well.

There's no easy fix, but there are some picks and youth that can be moved, but the situation remains as it has been since management took over. There's very little room to maneuver, and almost everything they do has to work out. That's a very tough place to operate under, but so it goes.

Also, I don't think the expectations from posters talking about Ehlers or other top UFAs are in any way comparable to the expectations many carried last offseason. People legitimately felt due to the connections with the Pens, Guentzel would be a target that could sign with the Canucks. The discussion this year is mostly about who is available, not so much on the likelihood of them signing here.

Losing last seasons pickups, the Miller fiasco, Demko injuries, EP40 weirdness, Boeser's concussion, Guentzel signing elsewhere was one long and repeated beating to the team and the organization. Yet somehow there's still a team showing they can play well at times and hey, meaningful games in March lol.

I vacillate between no longer caring and having some degree of interest or morbid curiosity, wondering if they can't make this work. I think we all expected a step back this season, but I can't believe anyone forecasted this epic shitstorm. Somehow being a lifetime fan of this team didn't prepare me for this. Unreal.

You need to go to Europe my dude. Jaw dropping cities.

Don't I know it. I'd like to go busk there, but I haven't gained much traction out here and I won't play here. People are shit.

I want to go to the Brandenburg gates, drive the Autobahn, more than that...I want to go to the country, the proper country out in Scotland where my namesake lives and just f*** about and knock a pint or two back.

Alas, life, for now has other plans. It'll happen when it's meant to happen.

Vancouver peaked heading into the 2010 Olympics, and largely went to shit thereafter.

Vancouver peaked heading into the 2010 Olympics, and largely went to shit thereafter.

If Expo 86 was a plunge into the water of the world, the Olympics were a total header of the high diving board into the abyss.

We invited the world here in 2010 and they never left. I have no idea why we want them back so back, the Olympics. The IOC is a cancer. They attach themselves to a community, grow it unsustainably and f*** off leaving you to die.

At least cancer can't ask for more money while it's slowly killing you.

I could get into the more immigration-side of my disaffection but I'm afraid it could get deemed as maybe a bit racist.

All I'll say is the thing I loved most as a child of the late 90s, was the diversity. My classes regularly had many whites, yellows, browns, I don't really care. But we were all just people seeking to better ourselves. The Canadian way. Now, it's just....we bring the same two f***ing "shithole" countries culture here, ask them not to pack it in at the door, and wonder why we can't get along?

Out my way before COVID hit, you'd routinely hear of some house getting vandalized with anti-Taiwan or anti-CCP language. Like maybe once a week that would happen. Which for someone who hasn't been here for as long as my family has is ritual. Except it's not.

It's why I can't help but laugh and shake my head at the outcry over Palestine/Israel. It's not our fight. Let's not make it our fight. We aren't as well-equipped and most of us don't even understand why they are fighting anyways.

Which is to say, and I can't believe you guys went and got all political on me...I like my peas and potatoes separate.

If you come to Canada, please, pack your shit at the door. No one cares about where you came from or what wars you had. I don't give a shit about Palestine, Khalistan, China, etc. Either you are faithful to this land, country, and people, or quite harshly...f*** off back to where you came from and go fight that war and die in it, you f***ing cowards.

Sir this is a Wendy's.

Honestly I'm too charged up now to even find that funny. It's an old joke, hit me with something new or f*** off lol.

Thanks guys, that's real nice.

Real nice.

I lived in Vancouver for 10 years. I was at game 7 vs Boston. I know more about Vancouver, good and bad, than pretty much anyone.



I don’t know…I love Victoria but it’s got some pretty massive problems.

Yes we do, stole the words right out of my mouth, we got lucky when we bought our house over 10 years ago just before the big boom in town in a good spot and now we can't wait to move out
