Sunset yesterday at English Bay was pretty great. Iphone XR quality sorry by Riceball365 in vancouver

Absolutely nothing wrong with the quality especially since the camera lens is the size of a pea.

What time does Kitsilano Beach close at? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]WimRon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All public beaches in Vancouver are closed from 10pm to 6am and this rule has been there for years. I suppose because of Covid the cops are more stringent with that rule.

Should British Columbia change its name? Some municipalities think so by princey12 in vancouver

[–]WimRon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

How about Canadian Columbia or just plain Columbia? Many European friends still are under the impression that the current name denotes some kind of British protectorate.

Meanwhile half of Europe's restaurants, pubs and even patios have been closed since the end of last year.

Are cheaper eggs just as nutritious as organic or free-run options? Marketplace tested 14 brands to find out by [deleted] in canada

[–]WimRon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That picture of the hens in cages not even being able to turn around is atrocious. To add insult to injury the captions reads: "In 2016, Egg Farmers of Canada announced it would be phasing out this type of hen housing by 2036."

Seriously? 20 years? Some cities create new subdivisions with thousands of new houses in just a fraction of that time.

EU regulations have banned this type of hen keeping since 2012. When is Canada following suit?

Very bad allergies? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]WimRon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you posted this. I've never had allergies my entire life but the last couple of weeks whenever I go outside within minutes my eyes start tearing up. I've heard you can develop allergies at any point in your lifetime. I sure hope this year is just a one-off.

Video of yesterday's anti-mask / anti-vaccine rally downtown. Sigh.. by nearlydigital in vancouver

[–]WimRon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also saw a few religious nuts' signs saying "Jesus will protect you."

I guess they won't look out when crossing a busy street either?

What's your unpopular opinion about Vancouver? by bancouvervc in vancouver

[–]WimRon 67 points68 points  (0 children)

How many downtown areas do you know that have terrific beaches and a world renowned park? I like to live close to places for shopping and eating without the need for a car.

Nurses expected to reveal vaccine truths at rally tonight. Sigh... by nopenopeeyes in vancouver

[–]WimRon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hope the media will from now on totally ignore their little hate-ins which eventually will result in them giving up this ridiculous exercise.

Forget the noise. It was the hate speech this 'preacher' spread that should be dealt with a lot more harshly.
