Why the rest of Canada resents Vancouver

[yvr girl]

A report on the deep freeze being felt back east. They gave a little rundown on the weather nation-wide. (Going to get down to -47 in Winnipeg with the windchill...) Then they show someone jogging on the seawall in Vancouver, flowers blooming in the foreground.

I'm so glad I don't live in Winterpeg.

1. I was unaware we did

Warm and sunny in SW Ontario, where I live.

2. Hey YVR, is the weather in Vancouver similar to Seattle's?

And what the heck is YVR?

[miss_kitty]

4. Vancouver gets more rain than Seattle

A lot of time, they'll say Seattle is getting a storm, and then we won't. because it went north instead

[yvr girl]

9. You seem to get more snow that we do though

Lots of times you get snow, and we don't

6. It's the airline code for Vancouver

I figured it out from the RUSH tune 'YYZ' which is the code for Toronto

3. Not only that

BC is quite the little economic miracle. I salivate when the CBC runs another "Move here and get a job!" ads.

5. I lived n Seattle for three years. Gotta say it, not a big fan of the rain

What about Victoria? Guess I could look this stuff up myself, huh? Hey, it's darn near midnight. Not gunna.

7. Same shit

BC does the best it can to drain those big ol'nasty systems before the get to us.

10. Chiming in from Victoria, aka "Vancouver Junior".

All the fun of Vancouver, but with no line-ups, free parking on the weekends, and half the annual rainfall.

I love being a Victorian!

11. You're still bitter about your last trip to the mainland aren't you

How are you doing?

[Nay]

13. CanuckAmok! We're coming your way next summer. We visited

Vancouver Island right after 9/11 and loved it. I have Canadian citizenship through my mom, a Quebecoise, and we are thinking of retiring on VI. We're checking out the northern parts of the island this time, but we also loved Victoria. So European!

8. Ya, I wonder if we're having an election in the spring or something

They need to remind us how wonderful they are.

12. Lots of American shows get filmed in Vancouver...

14. Hey! Winnipeg rocks!

Winnipeg is awesome. Usually you don't find a huge city in the middle of a prarie but BAM! There it is! A metropolis! And it's warm enough inside!

I wish I was in Winnipeg right now. Beats the socks offa any town in North Dakota.

16. Great!!!

:thumbsup:

18. Hey Alex, maybe people from Vancouver resent the Prairies?

We can suntan here, BBQ, and enjoy the summer whilst they are opening up their umbrellas?? LOL

;) hehehehehehe................

19. "Sweet Home Manitoba"

Ooh. I love Winnipeg. Great people there. I was there one Christmas and it was like 40 below zero.
After a while, I got used to it, though.

15. At least we have hot summers here.......

and not tons of rain....Lotusland is overrated.

It's Winnipeg, not Winterpeg by the way.

I think it's preferable to have a little snow than out of control street gangs and homes nobody can afford anyways. ;)
