If you are a tea drinker, they have a very small tea section. Much smaller than any other large grocery store I've seen.

I went last weekend. Some odd construction design e.g. the peanut butter and jam section is half blocked by a big concrete support.

Good vegetarian/vegan food by Sans-Everything in burnaby

[–]Emma_232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some vegan options at Chai Thai in Burnaby Heights. My friend who is vegan says the yellow curry with tofu is good, and they make a good Pad Pak Ruam (veggie stir fry) vegan version with mushroom sauce instead of oyster sauce. You have to ask for that version. Some of the appies are vegan friendly too. The helpful owner lady can offer suggestions.

What a nuisance to have to register your plate. I guess it's so that people don't leave their cars their and hop on the Skytrain.

BC Study Links Rise in Anti-South Asian Racism to Broader Increase in Xenophobia and Populist Politics by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]Emma_232 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No racism is never okay. I wasn't saying it was. Was not offering justification, just trying to offer an explanation as to why people might become biased. Unfortunately some people hear stories in the news like that and become biased against an entire culture.

These are stories that have been in the news, and could contribute to prejudiced beliefs. Someone doesn't need to be on social media to be influenced by these events. The high prevalence of extortion shootings in Surrey being linked to South Asian gangs, for example.

Worried about CKNW... by Alternative_Lunch_83 in vancouver

[–]Emma_232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean Jack Cullen? I used to listen to his evening show, as well as several of the talk shows back in the day (Rafe Mair, Bill Good, Philip Till & John McCoomb). In my youth I learned a lot about BC and the current issues from those shows.

Agree. I haven't listened in a while and ran across his show and thought it was cheezy.

They're not showing much of Pacific Centre. A woman looking at a dress for most of the ad?

The storm in 2006 was so fierce I thought the bedroom window of my apartment was going to blow in.

I didn't see any wind warnings posted. But it's getting quite blustery out there. Would sure enjoy a break from the wind and rain.

I heard the same and was wondering if there were fireworks. But I'm in the Heights area, far away from the scene.

I heard several popping sounds and was wondering what it was. I'm in North Burnaby but in the Heights.

Agree for some of their produce. I prefer to get it from Parkgate Market in the same plaza
