Most people living in Vancouver area travel to the states for 3 things.

Cheese
Meat
Liqueur

Cause our government is greedy and taxes everything.  Then we get limited at the border from bringing over these things. 1 26ouze bottle of vodka per 24hr stay.  If I could I'd buy the cheaper 60ouze bottles and bring back a trunk full!  I'm sure that some do.

Anyone want to make a trip for me?

The other things that suck are taxes and the government owning everything or monopolizing them. They own all the liqueur stores here....and that's why they are failing.

Bars close later than the skytrain runs on the weekend.  WTF   So if you live outside vancouver....you gotta leave before they stop running or you better find a place to stay.

To many asians owning all real estate and jacking the prices.
To many asians have underbid all construction jobs. So now construction is shitty and expensive.  Congratulations underbidders.....you ruined a good thing by being cheap.

[b]To many Asian restaurants.  You can't walk a block without running into dim sum/sushi/pho shops.[/b]

The pizza places SUCK here.  It's all thin crust no topping dollar pizza.  Even Papa Johns has gone down the toilet trying to compete with the thousands of "fresh slice pizza places" which is gross shit.

To many pot heads that think they have the right to Stink up the entire province.  Yah it's fun, but keep it in your own house.

To many liberal pieces of shit that think we all give a shit about the environment!

To many liberal pieces of shit that are afraid of money from an oil pipeline.  But they still want their welfare checks and unemployment on time.

To many Liberal jerks that spend all day whining until no one has any rights left.

Garage sales are a joke in this province.  Most shut down by 1:00 p.m. and go to the beach.  They NEVER sell anthing good and when they do they want more than store prices for it....you know, to make up for how much they where taxed on it.

It rains a lot.  But not like a rain that gets it all out in a hurry....It lingers on for 6 months in a slow depressing drizzle.  Never an exciting flash flood or with a little hail.

Most drivers suck! and insurance is controlled by the province...Thus, high prices due to NO competition.

The government regulates JOBS!  By making it so most employees have to take useless courses in order to even get a job.

The radio stations ALL SUCK DONKEY BALLS!  No decent rock, No decent pop, No country, Just cookie cutter top 10 stations that have VERY unfunny DJ personalities who seem to all be imported from other stations.  No INDY stations at all.  Even the Talk news stations are garbage!

The government has NO clue what they are doing at all.  They are actively trying to get rid of the one business that brings in billions....The movie business!  And an oil pipeline!

Now for something nice to say!

The mountains are nice, the ocean is ok, The air is clean.
Festivals up the waahoo!  Events all the time!  Lots of very friendly people!  [b]Lots of different food choices from asia![/b]

note the bolded sections
make up your mind

No i will not!  Because it sucks when that's your only choice when you just want a good burger or pizza and all that's left is Asian food.  I like Asian food though most, of the time.

sounds like the problem is [b]too few[/b] burger and pizza places, not too many asian places, then

Original Message I know most of you are filled with Nationalistic pride.
I think that is great.
But there are downsides to everyplace.
For instance, I've read that almost 90% of you all live within 100 miles of the USA border.
So yeah, it gets cold and you have Winter.

What else?
Do you need a supplementary health insurance policy?
Is car insurance mandatory? ( I imagine so) How much? I pay about 25$ a month for liability for 1 car and 35$ for the other.
Is food taxed?
I've seen property taxes are nearly comparable to Wisconsin. (Expensive- 2,0-3,0% mil rates)
Tobacco and booze are way more expensive than here.
Do you pay tax on Internet purchases?
Can you buy stuff easily from the states via the Interwebs?

OK, lots of questions- just curious.
Thanks in advance.
