I don't know if you've ever been to Vancouver up here in Canada, but the cost of living here is ridiculous. Not much of my money manages to go to anything other than living expenses...I don't drive, I don't eat out because I'm working that damn minimum wage job when I'm not at school. You can...

Apologizing in advance for the rant, I really need to get this one off my chest. I get so many people who leave 5 dollars no matter what the bill was. Working in the service industry for 8 years, it really drives my crazy when I go out with friends or anyone else and they don't tip. The...

There are muggings and murders in Abbotsford too...Kelowna is the retirement home of Canada. Edit: Sorry, double post.

BC response: yay!

See, I was more concerned about people blowing things up via cell phone signal in the subway rather than chattering and haggis.

I want Dreamcast VC!

I would be rejected in a physical exam but I would still go. I tried to train to sign up for the reserves here in Canada before my car accident (I got t-boned) but that idea is kinda screwed now.

The Defenestration of Prague is an important historical even in the European Religious wars. Funny story actually: in Bohemia, there was a confrontation between Catholics and Protestants in this building ending with the local important Catholic guy getting tossed out the window. Here's where...
