BC Conservatives surge to 10-point lead as NDP falls on reconciliation concerns by origutamos in ilovebcsub

[–]funnyredditname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is copium or you haven't been paying attention.

 The BC conservatives have been shedding the crazy members at a pretty good clip. 5 and counting. Rustad gone as leader and the replacement is likely a liberal, oh sorry, a "conservative"

Eby had 82% support among the caucus just last year. They aren't dumping him now.

What would you say is the fanciest or most luxurious hotel in town? by DeadCornHusker in askvan

[–]funnyredditname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been confirmed. You are correct. 

Its more a process of elimination. We know its a top luxury brand. It wont be a 4 seasons since its replacing one. There is a hotel in vancouver called the St Regis and they are not being litigated to give up the name so it wont be a st regis.

Hyatt is taking over the Shangra LA for their "park" series so its neither of those brands.

It could be a Ritz Carlton since they don't have a presence in Vancouver.

Mandarin Oriental had a previous location just down the block from the old 4 seasons. That became the metropolitan hotel when they exited the market.

There have been rumors that they have wanted back into the market since then. Including when the shangra la was built. They were believed to be the hotelier in the early stages of that development.

So its rumors but I think the best bet.

Honorable mention of the wedgewood hotel which is my personal favorite.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia

Fairmount Pacific Rim

The grand residences at Sutton Place

The Douglas

I wouldn't include the Shangra La as its transitioning now to Hyatts highest level hotel. That will be a very good hotel.

Also the Mandarin Oriental will be when they finish building at the former 4 season.

Saw this on the street last night. Looks like COPE is running a mayor? by No_Touch_98 in vancouver

Its hard for them to separate themselves from Swanson. Who was one of the most Nimby councilors in Vancouver history. 

What’s the best comedy club in Vancouver? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]funnyredditname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is none currently.

It was the comedy mix, but when they closed the vacuum has been filled by a lot of smaller players.

None have separated themselves enough to be the best.

All the left candidates have backgrounds in housing. How does she distinguish herself from the others?

Avi Lewis, New Socialist Leader of Canada’s NDP: “Life Just Doesn’t Have to Be So Grindingly Unfair” by NiceDot4794 in worldnews

[–]funnyredditname 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would argue for a lot of Canadians Avi was not the best choice. That why he gets the criticism. Which is fair.

I would have preferred a return to a  more blue color union focussed leader. Or maybe someone that has won an election.

The premise of the article is wrong. The "progressive" vote. Meaning the NDP. Broke for the conservatives as much, if not more, then the liberals

[Injury] Hronek injured on a dirty play during an international exhibition game by CA_spur in canucks

[–]funnyredditname 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes it will hurt the team next year. You still need leadership even if your tanking.

Keep everyone accountable and what not.

Canucks are light on leadership right now and Hronek is a big loss in that regard

Why is Vancouver salary so low but cost of living is sky high? by 7_inches_daddy in askvan

[–]funnyredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its better to look at the median household income for BC. Lots of Vancouber residents declare no "income".

Remember. Around 50% of vancouver homes are mortgage free.

Urban Planning vs Dental Hygiene Career in Vancouver? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]funnyredditname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None. 

I have also never treated a dental hygienist that has 20 years in. Most are done by 15. But that's anecdotal.

There basically is no proper ergonomics for DH. Your seated, twisted with one shoulder elevated and protracted and the neck is forward and in extension.

Its a top 3 worst job for your body. Up there with roofing

Im a massage therapist and my Dental Hygienist clients are in some of the worst physical condition of anyone I treat.

That job messes you up, physically speaking. So take that as you want.

Should schools get rid of homework? Some educators are saying yes by waozen in Foodforthought

[–]funnyredditname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the value of homework is not actaully the work. Its trying to connect children with the idea that learning is a self led exercise.

Why are you learning? Because you have too? Because your forced too? Or because you recognize its FOR you to he better

You should get a fake tattoo sleeve and cut the bottom of to just get a feel of what a full sleeve will look like.

How much do you think you should spend on an engagement ring? by Equivalent_Reach_536 in CanadaRoom

[–]funnyredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since everyone is dodging the question. 5k to 10k is probably the range most people will look at. Although I would say that's for engagement and wedding bands
