I live in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island... and I agree, BC is the most beautiful province in Canada (however biased that statement is). Also, Aquaman is right -- Gordon Campbell isn't the sharpest tool in the shed (even though the Liberals are leagues ahead of the inept NDP) but his brother Michael Campbell has a great radio show.

I'm originally from the NE United States, only been over here for about a year now. From what I can tell, the Canadian government largely ignores everybody outside of Ontario, and the West (BC/Alberta) seems to feel mostly indifferent to the rest of the country, which may or may not have to do with the large concentration of decent weed out here.
Look at how well the BC economy is doing. All thanks to the Liberals
However, there needs to be more NDP in MLAs to balance it out. Having too much of a dominant party isn't a good thing, even though I like the BC Liberals. So why are we talking politics?
BC is beautiful and the major cities like Victoria and Vancouver have mild winters and mild summers. Heck, the reason why we have so many bums in Vancouver is because they travel here from other cities in Canada because it's much warmer here.

If anybody is ever in Victoria, and has a craving for some really good food, go down to Gladiola's on Fisgard, just outside of Chinatown, best sweet and spicy soup you'll ever have. If you tell them Sphexi sent you, well, they'll probably just look at you weird.
I can't wait for the Olympics to come, but all this construction is getting on my nerves. I work around Broadway and Cambie, so you can imagine what traffic is like. But it's for the better good, just need to tough it out for a couple more years.
But with the Olympics, we have too many whiners. Too many people protesting the Olympics because of housing, poverty, environment etc. It's getting old.

lol, all those programs look great, no matter where they go. It's their job to make it look fantastic. When you actually visit though, you rarely see the same view since your eyes are not as good as the big ass high def camera and zoom lenses they have
I would invite you to visit so we can change that opinion. If you can see it, you can pretty much go there. Where wouldn't you be allowed? Personally, I love the Kelowna area.
After reading that I kept hearing a voice in my head saying "Nanaimo." It took me a while to realize it was the voice on the SkyTrain calling out the station. That and the warning bell when the doors close.
It's been about 3 years since I visited Vancouver, but I still think about what am awesome place it was just about everyday. I used to go wander around Stanley Park all the time while I was there.
