Despite all of the hype, to me, it was a dismal, dreary and entirely nasty place in almost every respect. When the first opportunity presented itself, I hightailed it off to Calgary which had so much more to offer in terms of “quality of life” (especially for a young family) even though it obviously lacked the wonderful scenic backdrop of Vancouver and other amenities such as being next to the ocean. Anyway, it should be interesting to see how RA’s encounter with the West Coast plays out.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-67665206156527908062008-03-16T19:03:00.000-04:002008-03-16T19:03:00.000-04:00Oh they can find jobs, sq, it's just that the jobs...Oh they can find jobs, sq, it's just that the jobs out there are not *snif* <I>up to their standards</I>.Frank Frinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727863730658037306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-67563678300649568932008-03-16T18:57:00.000-04:002008-03-16T18:57:00.000-04:00If traffic is his problem, Vancouver may not be th...If traffic is his problem, Vancouver may not be the place to go?
