Discover Vancouver

I am responding to the challenge of starting a thread about a website. I read a lot on this site 6 months ago, never joined. It was mostly white guys saying how much they hate people that moved to Vancouver from China, and Iran. Unfortunately I didn't see any of that, when I checked it to post this. The closest thread to what I remember them as is HATE FILLED JEWISH SETTLERS We killed Jesus. What intrigued me so much about this place, more than others is that it appears to be part of the board of tourism, promoting Vancouver, to potential visitors. I would just read with my jaw dropped. thinking, who is in charge of this place? Do they ever check in, or do they just collect the check. It's still an interesting place to go, to see the attitudes of college aged Canadians. I know I'm supposed to ask a question, so if you go there, and read a few threads, and get a feel for the place, was it anything like your preconceived notion of what Canadians are like?

I forgot the link. The first time I did this I put the link in first, than I couldn't get the cursor in the right spot to start typing, so I was going to put it at the end, but forgot.

I don't think it's affiliated officially with the City of Vancouver--I just think it's a board for locals to discuss whatever. Like here, but with a geographical focus. As such, you get all kinds of people, including bigots.

Always wanted to go, my family goes.
How is the wheelchair access?

Commercial site.

Beautiful city, people are pretty friendly...driving there reminds me of Philly. We were impressed with the amount of diversity there.
