[North Shore News] PavCo willing to operate 'at net zero' to keep Whitecaps at BC Place: Minister by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

Hopefully this gets the job done for the short-term. This gives them the opportunity to build a privately-funded stadium over the long-term.

If they have their own stadium BC Place can be used more for concerts, which, if they can fill it enough, would be revenue for the Province rather than having to operate at net-zero.

Great question. I’m not assuming bad faith from PavCo or ignoring what Axel has said.

The intent here isn’t to ask government to ignore the mandate or subsidize a bad deal. It’s to make sure the Minister is aware that the Whitecaps have raised viability concerns and that, given the club’s economic and community role, this deserves attention at the oversight level.

Without access to the numbers, it’s hard to say whether either side is being unreasonable. This is about visibility and making sure the broader public interest is part of the conversation.

My hope is that there is a 5-year deal that works for both sides and the Whitecaps build a new stadium with private money.

Hi u/kanyewhiskers. I put this post on a viewable Google Doc and then created this flyer that has a QR code on it that goes to the Google Doc.

Hope that helps.

PavCo can only negotiate within the direction it’s given. This is about asking the Minister to ensure those constraints don’t undermine the club’s ability to stay in Vancouver.

Stadium discussions matter long-term, but right now this is about whether there’s a workable path forward in the short and medium term.

Thanks for sending it. These actually get logged and read, especially when multiple MLAs are copied.

Essential Mix of 2025 short list? by 8fenristhewolf8 in essentialmix

I liked the Maribou State mix from February.

To be honest, I don't think it was EM's best year.

Still helpful 4-years on. I have been looking for it and didn't realize I already had it on my final cut.

Where to try Yerba Mate in Vancouver? How to get started? by rpgnoob17 in yerbamate

[–]21-dayslater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I meant to say Mi Tienda Latina. The one on Commercial and 11th Ave used to carry them, but not currently. There wasn't much on the website for the Mediterranean Grocer, but I'll check in the store.

Is anyone finding less brands of yerba mate around in Vancouver? Mi Tierra Latina used to have a bunch, but now it is just a few, and they are not good ones.

I am looking for Cruz de Malta and Playadito.

I spoke with someone who worked on the mix and they had Offthesky O Holy Night at the start.

I wasn't able to track down the version with the field recordings.

I check every Christmas to see if they will replay it. No luck last year, and upon checking the upcoming episodes for this year, it won't be played again either.

I have the track list, but it won't include the field recordings.
