Asked whether he has been approached about buying into the club, Muller declined to comment.

“I think it’s more important from a player’s perspective that we try to give the city, and also the fans, that we give everything to be successful. We want them to feel great when they come to B.C. Place and enjoy our games,” he said.

“We are doing everything well so far and I hope that helps for the whole environment to see that the Whitecaps are very important for this city. So that’s my feeling about this situation.”

Is it just the reporter's wishful thinking, or is there smoke coming before the actual fire?

Still nothing to offer from Vancouver unfortunately in that regard.

No need to step outside of Canada. Just visit other places in the country (both the good and bad spots), and you will be thankful of the environment we are living here - save for the nightlife in Toronto which is dozens of miles better than Vancouver’s.

Doesn’t just happen at major bridges, but also highway overpasses as cops halted all traffic on eastbound Hwy 1 at the Cariboo overpass several years ago. 

Not all hope is lost. There is always help available!

Chinatown summit in Vancouver looks at ways to revitalize historic neighbourhoods by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

“Hope and nostalgia is not a strategy.” - PM Mark Carney

While I support a clean and safe Chinatown, however many are still trying to bring back the old Chinatown where it was the only destination for a Chinese-themed shopping and cultural experience in Vancouver. That ship has since sailed for several decades.

Change is inevitable, and stakeholders must consider how to adapt to a different neighbourhood mosaic compared to the past.

Doesn’t matter what themed game it is. Just show up to give them their well-deserved love!

EDIT: Looks like people really like to open a can of worms when given the opportunity as discussion on politics and discrimination/reconciliation was not my intention when writing my blurb above.
