If you're fast you can stop by Shanghai River or any other Shanghainese place in Richmond for the best xiao long bao in Canada (aside from Toronto) and then go board your flight sloshing full of pork and pork lard.

I met an old friend visiting for dinner at that new Tsawwassen mall, and it was loving deserted. Like, creepy zombie apocalypse deserted, all the lights were on and flashy and all the stores were open, but I barely saw a soul.

I'm sure it's an indicator of something that home prices are through the roof but commercial is struggling to get by :thunk:

Canadians are wisely investing their income into the lucrative housing market while wisely eschewing the pitfalls of the nouveau riche, clearly.

Why would anyone go out there? If you've got a ferry to catch you're on the clock and want to get to the terminal. It's in the middle of absolutely nowhere, surrounded by farms. All the suburbs in the area are already over-served by shopping centres. This isn't the 70's anymore where you can just build a new REGION'S BIGGEST MALLLLL and by guaranteed a steady stream of customers wowed by the size of it all.

I guess if you have a reservation or miss your boat you might have some time to kill. You might also assume that eventually growth in the area will catch up to the mall, if you were really optimistic. I take public transit from the ferry and I'm not getting off in Ladner or whatever to hike over to some wack mega mall and hang out in the food court.

Two weeks ago I was headed back to the island and there were a bunch of guys who'd been to the big sporting goods store and had fishing rods. That's the only evidence I've seen of people going there.

I'm p sure the one that's in the middle of nowhere just south of Barrie is 24 hours and because it's only customer base is drivers looking for somewhere they can get off the freeway for a break it's not terrifying.

Divert military spending to both

Work to get new blood into agriculture so farm ownership doesn't get even more consolidated within the hands of fewer people (not me though, I'm through with this poo poo) and get more money into universities so we can get some good loving research going instead of hollowing our loving country out to sell our resources because we have gently caress all else

We import 80% of our produce, mostly because of the growing season, not capital investment as such. If we were to seriously depend on aggriculature for our economic output we would actually manage to be even more hosed then we are now, in our real-estate, minerals and bullshit-based economy.

Christy Clark is still premier. Just think, if she had resigned 2 months ago, the Liberals could be deploying that steaming hot take right now. Lol.
