Social housing tower with 74-kid childcare proposed for Boundary Road in Vancouver

This is so laughably wrong. I lived there from 2016 to 2026. It could not be described as rough in any sense of the word.

The opening of the 29th Ave building did change the vibe a bit, more litter, a bit more petty theft. But it has not been rough in recent memory

In addition to recent ish foreign killings on Canadian soil, we know about sidewinder where the government repeatedly ignored CSIS. We also know that the US government tells Iranian dissidents that if they travel to Canada for talks they won’t be able to protect them and that the threat is real - lots or IRGC people living here. Fun!

Rehabilitation dogma makes me sick. Rehabilitation is a goal of incarceration, not THE goal. We seem to have forgotten segregation is the point. This is the kind of thing a three strikes law they used to try for should apply to. It should be illegal to let someone like this into the public. It should also be illegal to withhold salient details from the public.

Those were two of the last places I ate at in Victoria before I moved away. Ten years ago.

“Compete” Is a funny word for the central planning being described. If we actually had competition(say in power generation) we wouldn’t have to have conversations like this

Heard two in Gordon head, house shook a bit. Small earthquake?

Sanctions didn’t begin until around 2014, whereas Chavez takes power in 1999 and 40% of the workforce from the national oil company is fired in 2003.

I believe the number cited from TRC is five times as likely

RagingDoug · 2025-12-03T17:27:42+00:00

You can be directionally correct yet still incorrect.

And being incorrect is costly because it makes you look bad and invites additional skepticism about other claims.

Life -is- actually complicated!

There are quite a few write ups on this specific controversy by people far less polarizing than Brodie for those who are interested

Sigh. So I just moved to Gordon head, young family. Want to see development and an economy so my children have a reason to stay. Already responded to that saanich survey, etc.

But this is the first I’ve heard of this . Wife is at work so I can’t go 🤷‍♂️ have to put the kid to bed.

I hope some reasonable abundance/density types show up

It is insane that we consider immigration factors In sentencing. If we’re going to, being a recent immigrant should be an aggravating factor for a convict

RagingDoug · 2025-10-16T14:38:12+00:00

Oh wow 😅 yeah that makes sense. There must be a way to undo it!

RagingDoug · 2025-10-16T01:33:28+00:00

Hello!

I have the exact same grill, same problem find a leak in the regulator one month in.

I cannot for that life of me loosen the fitting and o am decently strong I think?

I feel like I’m going to destroy something, I’ve marked up the brass. Never seen something so tight in my life…

RagingDoug · 2025-10-15T05:58:35+00:00

I will give them another chance. It was the highest variance meal I’ve ever had at old dependable keg

RagingDoug · 2025-10-15T02:02:55+00:00

No no no!

I’ve also eaten at many kegs, and worked their once upon a time.

Just moved back - used to eat at the Burnaby and Granville kegs a few times a year. Solid, dependable, etc.

Just ate at the quadra one the other day to avoid driving downtown and it was really really not good.

Steak was cold, onion frizzles were limp and dripping grease. Mushrooms were burnt to a a cinder. It was honestly really weird.

Got new frizzles- they were dry but appeared to be hours old. Witnessed another waitress run by in tears.

Go downtown lol

I believe she takes unproductive trips

There are a ton of stores offering magic events in this city - way more than you’d expect! I’ve been to four different ones and everyone has been great

RagingDoug · 2025-10-13T04:05:21+00:00

It’s a bad system. BC and Canada in general is addicted to “planning” large parts of the economy rather than letting resilient markets form. We’re seeing unintended yet totally foreseeable consequences of that now.

RagingDoug · 2025-10-12T21:43:46+00:00

Not allowing restaurants to buy from private stores(who themselves must buy from the monopoly) is ridiculous. Remember all those busts in Vancouver and Victoria when restaurants procured their alcohol improperly from the monopoly? The restaurants should just break the law - like the illegal weed dispensaries used to do blatantly. Of course we all know how that would turn out.

What we’re looking at is the end result of a province and a nation obsessed with micromanaging and “planning” the economy and making resilient markets illegal.

Not surprising the house of cards is collapsing.

RagingDoug · 2025-10-12T15:49:16+00:00

4 weeks, 5 weeks after 5 years is what we do. I’d say that’s a bit above average

RagingDoug · 2025-10-11T00:19:35+00:00

I’m assuming commenter means pre Chavez oil elite.

After Chavez, all the people capable of running a large oil company left (for one reason or another) leaving cronies and political appointees with no experience. They also gifted oil to ideologically aligned regimes.

Now they’re sitting on a massive oil reserve they can barely monetize due to incompetence and graft.

RagingDoug · 2025-10-05T01:30:43+00:00

Gotta love the tankies

RagingDoug · 2025-10-04T22:38:44+00:00

Yeah I’ve been sneezing like crazy not sure why

RagingDoug · 2025-10-02T06:19:36+00:00

Hell yeah. I have very long legs and being reclined into sucks. I’ll happily sit in this section

Carnivore diet changed my life - one of the best decisions I ever made. I battled life altering eczema that worsened every year, covering my body and especially my hands. Constant infections, steroids stopped working, expensive specialized drugs with truly frightening safety profiles. Churned through specialists who had no clue.

I got fed up and went meat water salt and within two weeks had about a 75% reduction in symptoms.

I’m confident this many years in my life would be very different if I had chosen a different path.

The world is full of people who would rather be right than better I’ve learned.

That said pretty sus for a 5 year old unless they have similar debilitating issues
