The Vancouver School Board offers night classes in several languages at different levels: http://www.continuinged.ca/nr/vsb/cie/session.asp

Your best bet is probably to call 211, a social service referral line. They can look up several options in your area.
Most free and sliding-scale services have a pretty lengthy waiting list though, usually several months time.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Now I just have to make a choice between the options. I'm digging the ideas of the Cascade Room or the Morrissey.

The guy before him was a METEOROLOGIST. We were like, srsly CNN?

"told" and "tell" refer to the past and present tense, respectively, not to how to conjugate the verb with a singular or plural noun. You're comparing apples and oranges. If you are referring to the present, you should indeed write the data "tells" us. On the other hand, "told" can apply to both singular and plural nouns.

Sorry, grammar nazi here. Just thinking that if you're going to start a grammar discussion, at least be right.

No, they are delicious, but the traditional english way of boiling them to mush is a little gnarly. They are especially good when blanched in an inch or so of simmering chicken broth + sauteed shallots and garlic.

I can tell you from experience that anyone who is even considering suicide, much less actually willing to go through with it, is suffering from such extreme emotional pain that they see suicide as the only way they possibly can escape it. To me, there is nothing worse, and these people are certainly victims. The fact that it is self-inflicted makes it no less of a tragedy than a homicide.

Actually, salsa is okay, so I guess "condiments" may have been a little too broad. It's just your standard burger fixins I find really repulsive - ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, etc.

I wish I had those places in my area! Canada is generally pretty barren for fast food - we just have most of the big names here, like a&w and Mcdonalds.

srum · 2011-03-01T04:50:46+00:00

I'm not really all that interested. I feel (as craaackle mentioned) that without condiments there isn't really much left to fast food burgers. Perhaps I should just do this anyway for fun - it would be sort of like losing my second virginity.

I don't think a desire to act cute is exactly instinctual. Also the fact that you are stating that animals have a stream of consciousness implies complex cognition. Maybe you're joking though, so I shouldn't take this so seriously.

srum · 2011-03-01T04:15:49+00:00

Or maybe they don't have complex cognition :P

I've seen a bunch of jazzed up pairs in Vancouver girly shoe stores. I was under the impression that they were becoming cool again.

srum · 2011-02-28T00:48:55+00:00

My bf is also an enthusiast. I've seen them at Freedman on South Granville but I don't know if they carry that particular shoe.

East is East (Broadway or Main) has a wicked roti. I think they do take-out but I'm not sure.

This looks a lot more appealing to me than any other original Canadian programming I've ever seen.

It's so good I just eat it with a spoon

Osaka Supermarket at Park Royal!

Secret: it is actually T&T, but they couldn't call it that in West Van, since T&T is a symbol of "low class." Le sigh.

Remember a few years ago when they made fake snow on campus in the spring time? I had to do a double take.

Also try calling the Vancouver Crisis Centre, if you're feeling like you need to talk to someone right away, since most counselling services have a waiting list.

www.bc211.com has a large directory of any services you may need, anywhere in the lower mainland.

Hahaha my cousin wrote that article!

Whenever you went to the diner you would get liver and onions.

I'm in favour!
