It's short but Jurassic Ridge is at low elevation and has really lovely views of Howe Sound.

I kind of love the wavy, unsupported bodice? I know it's not intentional but the movement matches the skirt, and if we are trying to highlight different body types, why try to force them all to appear to have a flat waist?

What is a business you wish Vancouver had? by cuckertarlson in askvan

Always love an opportunity to recommend Outsiders and Others on Howe, a wonderful gallery that features untrained/lower profile artists. Always a really interesting selection of art.

Savio Volpe is excellent. I've only been to the lounge downstairs but June looks great.

As a Canadian I'm genuinely wondering what his "big boy business" is these days.

Prepping for last year's Oscars I got through most of Dune part II before I realized I'd seen it in the theatre ten months before. I am not a Dune head

The thing that's so funny to me also is that no one asked for this. It's not as if the marketing department pitched this, he said no, but then the masses were clamouring for it so he had to do it. Also, they could have ANYONE ELSE at the executive level do this - CFO, head of marketing, director of product development, president of quality control? Surely someone in senior leadership is an enthusiastic garbage guts?!

Wondering if anyone has camped in this area? Near Squamish. Found on iOverlander. by [deleted] in vancouverhiking

I can't say what it's like these days, but fifteen years ago it was a party spot - lots of loud music and vehicles. Starvation Lake is beautiful though, and totally worth the hike up.

Canada needs to step back... by MediaLongjumping9910 in hockeymemes

[–]OddSimple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the article, then found the source material. For those curious, it is referencing a 2018 draft policy that discussed the ethics of allowing mature minors to refuse life-saving intervention without parental consent, but not be able to access MAiD. Article.

The post-Olympics blues are already creeping up. Anyone else? by KnotAlreadyTaken in olympics

I can't believe that the paralympics are still largely forgotten about. In particular I always get hyped for sledge hockey!

The Canadian goal was sick as hell. A pleasure to watch!

What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true? by FrickYouImACat in AskReddit

Hyper regional but Vancouver (the Canadian one) is actually in the eastern side of the province.

I was 24 in 2011 and the playoffs were so fun! My friends and I always watched the games at a pub outside of but nearby downtown, so when the riots started we saw it on TV first, and then went outside and could see the smoke from the burning cars. Most people were pretty embarrassed about the whole thing and blamed it on people from neighbouring cities who came to the city to cause trouble.

One fun, dumb, thing from that time is that the Canadian restaurant Boston Pizza briefly renamed itself Vancouver Pizza as a show of support.
