I'm an IT tech.

Vancouver has a serious homeless problem, cool place though.

That one day of snow in Vancouver is more like half a day, then rain until summer, which is slightly warmer rain

I remember that good snowfall in 2012. Fucked the whole morning commute up.

Was wondering around Gastown and strayed a bit too far. Proper fucked shit, saw some people injecting and fuckloads of needles.

I've been hearing that it's almost non-stop ambulances right now because of the Phentynol crisis. I really gotta see this.

I personally try to keep clear of the area between Gas Town and Commercial road myself. Also it got a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Ty3YnWN80]cool (and looooong) song)[/url]. Heres the good part for brevity: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9USJgkruTw[/media] [editline]27th November 2016[/editline] Also according to my weather station its rained 23 days this month so far.

The exact opposite of the DTES. The shit drugs are /everywhere/, you can't escape them if you are doing opioids[/QUOTE] Having worked in West Van (Park Royal Village) if it isn't the drugs its the rich people ignoring traffic laws that will kill you. I have seen far too many pedestrians getting hit by motorists in that place. Also the amount of people doing U-turns infront of a cop car on the western intersection.

8 people OD'd in a day here because of it.

It's official. Great Value popcorn chicken is way better deep fried than it is oven baked.

There were probably overdoses 1~3 times in our building every month, but they all were revived on scene. Lotta drug use but no one is going to fuck you up for no reason, everyone keeps to themselves pretty much.

[QUOTE=Berman Slick;51439422]He's not saying someone's gonna fuck you up, it's that people are fucking themselves up on phentynol, ergo ambulances everywhere[/QUOTE] Yeah, the OD's are way more prominent. Last time I was down there I was going to buy a clock from a street vendor but the guy next to him proceeded to OD and everyone cleared out as the ambulance showed up.

Guys it isn't raining today! Its a miracle!

[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;51447121]Guys it isn't raining today! Its a miracle![/QUOTE] Don't worry, the wind will come to fuck us up now :v:

Snooooooooooooow !

I swear, if it fucking rains on Friday....

It's too cold for rain here. Only snow now. Until like June or smth.

Kellie Leitch wants to legalize pepperspray. Probably one of the only things most people will agree with her on, considering I've heard that she's an unpersonable cunt.

So I'm getting my first car in Canada and it's a Suzuki Sidekick. A guy had it in his backyard for years and just gave it to me. Just needs a new battery.

Because I know in Ontario the safety standards can make buying used obnoxious because a cheap car may require thousands of dollars of work to get it certifiable, and thousands more to actually make it half-decent.

Once I get it working I'll have to melt the ice from the doors in order to get in and start it to get the heat going :v: . Yellowknifer problems. I'll get the car to a mechanic tho I'm not crazy.

People just carry that instead of pepperspray.
