The last two pages of the Toronto thread are bitching about heat. Ugh. I'm sweating while typing this. Disgusting. Also, the last thread didn't really hit the max. EvilMario just wanted to make a new OP.IndieJones said:How come Toronto-Age is on OT2 but this has seven pages? (Pardon my ignorance, Junior here) I mean, I guess it's a rhetorical question, everyone in Vancouver is too busy enjoying 19 splendid, summery degrees to fuck around on a computer.

Firestorm said:Since I've been out of province for this whole show I'm not sure what the commercials were like (then again I don't watch broadcast TV so aside from the playoffs I wouldn't have seen them). The negative aspects of this for me are:
- We are now $3 billion more in the hole
- Our PST+GST remains at 5%+7%=12% instead of HST at 10% which I wanted mostly for the self-centred reason of knowing how much stuff would cost easier
I'm getting 3 billion of CBC. 1.6 billion money that the federal government would want back and the rest being lost revenue / administration I guess. Even if we didn't get the money from the government, the projected deficit still gets larger by the same amount as it's money we thought we'd have that we won't.SpectreFire said:I believe someone mentioned that all that federal money didn't reach us yet and we only owe them something around $600 million.
Don't quote me on it though.

Hey You said:Yeah, in 2014.
Firestorm said:I'd rather that everyone acted rationally and voted to keep the HST and overwhelmingly voted against the Liberals in the next election. Although the BC NDP really isn't a much better option.
You poor son of a bitch.Seoman said:Hey Vancouver GAF!

To me, it felt like she was a one-woman attack campaign for the last three years.I voted. I'm pretty happy with the result! Anton had the weirdest semear campaign. Made me want to vote for Vision.
He said Robertson, who co-founded the company in 1994, is a shareholder, “but he’s not involved.”
Vision Vancouver campaign communications director Marcella Munro said Robertson “has absolutely zero operational, administrative or any kind of decision-making power, authority or role” in terms of his relationship with Happy Planet and Earth’s Own.
Gregor sucks balls. The bike lanes are a focking joke that nobody uses, the riots should've been enough for him to get his ass kicked, and if he's concerned about local jobs, why did he move his business, Happy Planet, away from Vancouver? (Sure, it's still in the lower mainland, but ain't the same.)
He's a pussy.
Do any Vancouverites know of some particularly reputable sites for apartment listings, or am I better off with Craigslist? I'm trying to help a friend find a new place by March since his roommate just randomly decided to get her own place without giving him much notice.
