Pete never lived here. He just was unfortunate enough to find a construction project in Nanaimo to work on. I have lived in various places on the Island for 46 years. Nanaimo was a shithole then, and is worse now. Long ago it was a grubby little mill and mining town. Now, it is just a grubby...

Have you been to Nanaimo lately? The place has a serious drug problem. On a normal day the bungee jump is $100+

They would have to remove two digits from the price to even interest me. Plus a deal on a hotel room since ferries never run late enough to do a concert and return that night.

If there was any kind of worldwide demand for oil, Alberta would be doing even better.

That is physics, not politics. Politics always wins.
