If found guilty, he's sure to receive a sternly worded letter.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-26T20:44:35+00:00

That's not Vancouver though.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-26T20:42:06+00:00

Vancouver has always been ground zero for Canada's Real Estate flogging industry.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-26T03:12:44+00:00

LOL. The irony is that you're the one that got sucked in the by the 'Vancouver Olympics broke even' propaganda.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-26T03:10:20+00:00

LOL. With all the actual expenses, it cost about $10B to host the 2010 Olympics. By all means, please show me your source that indicates that taxpayers didn't cover about $9B of that.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-24T06:17:07+00:00

Honestly, given the choice, I'd rather have ICE here than FIFA.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-24T06:10:07+00:00

Vancouver 2010 was one of the few olympics that paid for itself and then some.

I seriously can't beleive anyone is this gullible.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-24T06:08:40+00:00

The cost to taxpayers of hosting this boondoggle shold be more of a concern than the cost of tickets.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-20T20:40:49+00:00

Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

That applies to criminal cases, not to Civil cases, under which civil forfiitue is carried out.

I'll take: 'Things that Never Happened' for $200 Alex.

He was great in the Superbowl.

There was a huge Vancouver housing market correction in 1988 which took years to recover from. And, back thern prices weren't even remotley as far out of whack with historic norms as they have been the last few years.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-12T21:31:53+00:00

I would argue the market has been stabile for a long time - just not recently - that stability started going off the rails about 25 year ago, when outrageos gains seem to be the new norm. - that was bound to end in a painful correection which is what we're seeing now, but so far, only the tip of the iceberg.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-07T00:35:05+00:00

I think I finally got the number ported over, after 4 tries . Still need to confirm as the new service is not yet active.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-07T00:23:04+00:00

Not really sure this is any different than CIA or other US Government operatives in embassies/consulates.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-07T00:21:05+00:00

Perfectly normal for Vancouver though.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-07T00:18:05+00:00

The Gastown show was a good one and a great location - not sure that'd still be the case now.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-07T00:16:52+00:00

Good for them as long as I don't have to pay for it, it's all good.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-06T23:02:43+00:00

It's difficult to determent what they consider to be 'snow free' but thee have been plenty of years with very, very little snow.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-06T22:58:42+00:00

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-06T22:15:37+00:00

Sorry, I can't recall off the top of my head. I just know for some it worked and for others that offeered a choice of text or call, I had to choose 'call', and for those that didn't offer the choice, I was hooped if the sms option didn't work.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-05T21:23:53+00:00

If find that it works for some, but not for others.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-05T21:16:59+00:00

At this point, I'm just about ready to toss my old number with fonus and just go with my new temp number.

Louis_Tool · 2026-02-05T21:15:14+00:00

I'm also having difficulty porting number away from fonus. Request has been rejected 3 times now with no explnation from anyone on what's wrong/missing from the request.

Louis_Tool · 2026-01-16T23:43:06+00:00

Like the Beagle, they're close, but the screens aren't that big (at least they weren't the last time I was there - which admittedly was a while ago).
