Heard during a podcast that it's an "east coast" thing. So now I'm curious.

I feel badly for any woman who needs to receive care at BCWH who has to witness this.

There is a moderately sized group outside of the Archdiocese of Vancouver facing Willow st. This road is the direct entrance to BC Women’s hospital. Protesters have large “pray to end abortion” banners and smaller signage with a photo of a fetus that says “choose life”.

Further, they have encroached onto the public sidewalk, making it even more unavoidable for foot traffic.

Is there a city Bylaw against using public space (I.e. sidewalks) for protest demonstrations?

This city has a very diverse food scene. What is one dish you feel is missing here?

Just curious to hear your thoughts! little things don't bother me a lot so i'm curious what bothers you and what we can do to fix them :)

I drove to Squamish this past weekend. I was driving 10km over limit and I was the slowest person on the road.

Even in the city I feel like I'm annoying people by driving 55.

What's the actual driving speed I should be driving at??

Hi, all!

New to town and was wondering if someone can explain to me Breka, which--from the hustle and bustle at the one near me--seems like a minor phenomenon? The prices seem great, the people working there seemed friendly, and I had a lovely coffee, which I guess is enough reason to explain their success. But is there one treat in particular that causes there to be lineups to the door almost constantly?

Because if there is: I would like to try it.

I'm trying to look for a place to eat with friends.that is ridiculously cheap, and able to make myself full. These days, fast food is getting unironically expensive, so I'm looking for alternatives.

I just want to clarify, QUALITY IS NOT AN ISSUE, only price. In fact, I would say that I'm looking for nuclear waste.

I have been here for three years now. People say that this is a thing in Vancouver. Why? (I had loads of good friends back home)

Cooking at home can be hard, and it takes time, energy, and planning. What are the biggest barriers for you?

Are you required by law to do something about your yard if a neighbour complains that the decorations in it are ugly and that you have too many potted plants? That it’s bringing down the “quality of the neighborhood”.

Hello! I’m doing some research to find out where the best place to buy an engagement ring would be. From what I’ve been told, not all jewellers are equal, and I’m looking for a balance of a well-built ring that will last without an absolutely insane price. I’ve found a lot online but don’t necessarily trust it, and I was advised against People’s if I wanted it to last.

Specifically, I’m looking for a lab-created emerald ring (not cut, the actual gem) that also features some diamonds around it.

Would love any advice or tips!

EDIT: Wow, thanks everyone! I didn’t expect to get so many comments and support. The lab Emerald is a request from my girlfriend (the emerald side is sentimental value whereas the lab side is more her choice), but I’ll definitely do some research into other green gem options as well. I’m going to go through all the comments when I can but just wanted to send a blanket thank you as well!

I walk my dog in a wide area in New West, and I come across dead crows every 3 to 4 days. What agency do I contact, so they can send someone out to test it? I know that they could have eaten random things, but with H5N1 spreading I want to make sure.

For example, there is one under a tree by the BCL on the corner of Royal and Columbia.

Edit: I called and reported it. Leaving this post up so others can take notice. Thanks to Angie for the info

The provincial government has a Wild Bird Mortality Investigation Program hotline: 866-431-2473

With inflation making things more and more expensive, what can you still get a bang for your buck on

Hi Vancouver, Looking to try all kinds of new stuff, I am mostly into sports/music/language learning but open to try other stuff too. I've looked at the nearest community centers I have (DT) but I'm curious if there's other places out there.

Thank you for reading me!

Did anyone see this happen? I was hoping someone got the plate or a video to report...I know it's a long shot.

Every other car was waiting for them to move (and they were). A woman even got out of her car to help speed things up. It was a nice and pleasant moment until that black van sped through the intersection.

I know we all hate these crazy geese, but seeing them tumble and turn under a speeding 4 wheel monster was a horrible sight to see.

Have been feeling a little down and out and need a little pick-me-up. Is there some place that lightens up your mood in the city.

Question: What groceries have you noticed are smaller portions?

Note the old and new size and typical prices if you know it!
