I think in a lot of cases, the situation in First Nations communities across the country is basically the ultimate proof that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Most of the things that have hosed the First Nations over so thoroughly weren't done out of malice, but the combination of unintended consequences and the fact that most people just don't care at all enough to do anything about the problems mean that things worked out terribly.

I dunno, I think residential schools bar-none did the most damage to native communities and their explicit purpose was to stamp out the native kids cultures. Plenty of First Nations policy was created from the perspective of "these people are inferior", so "good intentions" were hosed up from the beginning.

Vancouver has been a city for like a hundred years so there's no such thing as local food. If you want to eat like heritage Vancouverites you need to be eating like fleabitten Edwardian loggers.

BC grows a lot of apples and the local cultivars are tasty I guess.

what is a good distinctive food of Vancouver or BC?

The local sushi places experiment with rolls a lot, but I don't know if they're actually unique.

McDonald's been serving poutine in Quebec for a really long time. They simply had to expand it to the rest of the country I guess.

Edit : Also, it sucks and it's bad poutine.

It ranks higher than some of the terrible food truck poutine i've had
