@KewlBoy20 its not destroyed. some generous people in vancouver cleaned up downtown and it looks like nothing happened. so stop talking about the riot. its history
i liked the first 20 seconds of the video even though it was just ambient sounds of nature it was so beautiful and peaceful, a small taste of heaven, Obrigado : )
its funny how people like to hate on amazing places because there jealous,
its not like people go around hating on north Carolina, or some other random state because there was never a conversation started about that place, it just proves how interesting Vancouver is
I love BC, I was born here, and I can't bear the thought of moving at all. I just love this place so much, and the Olympics brought me to tears of happiness.
I left a piece of my heart in Vancouver... fell in love with British Columbia in general this past year and am convinced I will be living there within a year. Great montage... it really does capture what makes Vancouver and Victoria shine.
Vancouver best place to buy cheap crack and marijuana ! i never seen so many drug atticts and homeless people like in Vancouver ! why dont you say that in you propaganda video !!
@Terminator4fire Because its my video, and I didn´t want to show that stuff. Most folks already know about that. It exists in almost all major cities. Vancouver is a beautiful city, when the sun is shining.
@Terminator4fire u burke, tell u what y not make a video about crackheads rather than the nice parts of the city u complete prat! And if you wana see drug addicts and tramps come to Birmingham, Vancouvers a beautiful city.
I was fortunate to be born in Vancouver and lived my first 20 years there in the 1970's...this video really, really captures the look, feel and essence of the city in that time...even though the pictures are recent. I could not have selected a better picture set myself!
Olá! Não estou em Montréal, Agora moro em Ville Québec. Muito bonita a cidade aqui. Realmente a nossa Bahia tem algo que não sabemos explicar. A saudade bate forte.
@Davidmen2009 ah, Québec....nunca visitei ne Montreal ne la ville de Québec...um dia gostaria de viajar pra la...já foi para uma partida de hoquei no gelo? Gosto muito do hoquei..
I vacationed there with friends during the summer a few years ago, and the weather when i was there was just incredible! we really got lucky, normally bad weather follows me on my vactions. It was the most beautiful place i have ever been.
is it always so sunnt there. In all the photos I either see bue skies with white puffy clouds or just blus skies, the kikes of which we have 325 days a year in Phoenix. What an impression I'm getting off this slide show...many people I've taked to, told me that the very coudy skies persist at least 300 days a year and thay precip is mentioned in the weather forcaste on better than 265 days a year, so when were these pics taken, inbetween storms, you sleezy person you!!
@cafe9803 The photographer is obviously skipping all the bad stuff, bohonk! Another thing this person(s) is doing is avoiding all the not so nice things to see, making this city out as glamouras under what appears to be constantly sunny skies. He dosen't want to tell you about the damp cool conditions that prevail 10 months a year so he plays music, get what I'm saying mate. Come to the Land down under and I'll show you blue skies that Vancouver can only dream about!
@cafe9803 Those people are right. But when it´s sunny, it´s gorgeous here. And like I said to our aussie friend, who wants to walk around in the rain taking pics? : )
Everyone just cares about Vancouver! Don't get me wrong I love it there too but I live In B.C. and just to tell you Vancouver has the least amount of wilderness in ALL of B.C. almost and if you move up higher in B.C. you will be able to find little towns with wilderness everywhere you step! I swear I once went on a hike in Hope ( town in B.C. ) the mountains where right next to you and there was rivers, meadows, birds you name it! Wow I wrote alot
Do you know WHY Vancouver has the least amount of wilderness in all of BC?
It is because it's a CITY. Vancouver is the biggest city in B.C., obviously there is less wilderness here, except for Stanley Park (which is a well-known park)
I know it's a city I'm just saying Stanley Park is not the most beautiful spot in BC or at least I think so. I'm just tired of people say how BEAUTIFUL it is there and I am also a bit jealous that spots in BC are not on the map but I know that that happens alot where places are not mentioned but I wish they where
This monument dosen`t symbolize the average Canadian, you know that as well as I do. almost a hundred percent of us canadians live in Southern Canada. If anything was to symbolize Canada`s roots it should be a totem pole, even a canoe I`m sure I got the people from the First Nations on my side. Eskimos represent a tiny fraction of the countrys population. There should be a law about misinforming people when it comes to our roots. Hey, I``m not at all native, okey!
@swi2010 The name is listed at the end of the video: Diana Krall - "S'Wonderful" from the cd, "The Look of Love" (Verve Music Group). And James Chirillo - "When Lights Are Low" from the cd, "Sultry Serenade" (Nagel-Heyer). Cheers.

for "zachsocool16" you make it sound like the HST is an army coming into Vancouver. Eastern Canadian provinces have had that for years and they are still alive and well. Ontario also goes to hst (they are taxes in case someone wonders). Go to Europe and you see a 23% VAT
I was born and raised in Van. I left 10 yrs. ago due to a bad divorce. Since then I have lived in; Toronto, Palm Springs CA, Santa Rosa CA, Irvine CA, Las Vegas, Tombstone AZ, Chile SA, London UK, and Lima Peru.....Nothing compares to VAN! I hope to move back with my family to show them what a city should be. I miss my home town!
@motomissle ya live in Vancouver, the houses are so beautiful and the city goes with that, I'm not saying New York isn't cool, no not at all, most awesome city in U.S.A with LAS VEGAS but yes it is more expensive in Vancouver
I KNOW I LIVE HERE... THE snow has just left a sparkle of new snow all over Grouse Mountain - and you just look up form most corners in Vancouver and ENJOY!
Oh my God... i'm just a country girl and Ive never been out of Oregon... I've never seen an actual big city like this... Its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen... Oh my God i want to go there SO BAD O_O
No it's not. Most of the downtown is clean as hell. There are a few really sketchy blocks full of drug fiends but most of them are harmless. There are clean injection sites so all the drugs are really concentrated. Vancouver is an incredibly safe city (the majority of it).
I'm sure it's safe,compared to Philly where I am no doubt. Wife was in Vancouver last mo for a concert and the motel they stayed in was in a not so nice looking area.
first of its more like a town, than a "city" I have lived here for 11 years and I guess you missed the maclenas article about its gang capital of north america and how they talk about how vancouverites are generally unwawarf of the crim in their own city
Taxes in Canada are quite a bit higher than in the U.S., but that's because we are paying for many more services. Universal healthcare, for instance, although there are various others.
i live in Vancouver and Van city has everything... you can go diving on winter!... and go snowball fight on summer!.... Vancouver is such a nice city!... and were the only city in Canada that has PALM TREES and BANANA TREES!!!!
what the hell are you talking about, Im born and raised in vancouver and have no idea what youre talking about. the palm trees and banana trees ive seen on baller lawns are fake, and diving in the winter? I smoke potent bc bud, but youre on sum other shit buddy.
get your eyes checked!... look on english bay... they have lined up palms... and they are not fake... and banana's only grow on the summer... and in my street in burnaby there everywere... by the way you do know what a palm tree looks like.. right i mean there are 100 types of palms.
i visited this country from the uk last summer what you see i agree is very lovely but only a stone throw away from gas town and you are in drug city the worst i have ever seen [scary ] yes good and bad every where but this was such a poor part of vancouver its frightened me to death and i have traveled a lot in my 60 years down town is a place called pidgeon corner oh my god so scary i would not live there even if the rent was free apparantly bed bugs are rife
Thats what happens when you close mental hospitals and give the patients their own medication hoping they will take it. The downtown Eastside has been a festering lost soul waste land for years. No one knows what to do about it. New York had the same problem and they cleaned it up so we can too.
All big cities have their ugly side (East Van) the new mayor is trying to clean it up... I was just in the area yesterday and it looked alot better than the last time I was there (I try to avoid that area at all costs). The greater Vancover area is a beautifull place to live. I love living right on the ocean... and you kind of get used to the rainy winters after a while... I kind of like them. Summer is amazing here, it gets really hot and we have some awesome beaches!!
i live in fucken london ontario n hopefully plan on movin out there one day, how hard is it to find a job now that this recession is going on out there?
i was living there for 5 months and i can tell u that is a beautyful and clean city, i think vancouverties are very kind, in the summer is almost perfect, sunny days, you can find a job almost everywhere & there are a lot of beautyful places to visit, by the other hand in the winter the city becomes a little bit depressive. cos is all the opposite. im from guadalajara mexico
UnderTheStarsAngel can you tell me about some other cities or kind of towns near to Vancouver please? It looks beautiful and nice, i would love to live there
And BTW why would Vancouver be considered as one of the best cities in the world? Um, maybe because we arent ignorent people like cannuckistan who are jealous of others who live in one of the BEST places in the world!
UnderTheStarsAngel can you tell me about some other cities or kind of towns near to Vancouver please? It looks beautiful and nice, i would love to live there
Exuse me?! Ya sure im frikin hott thats why i got tons of friends :P JK BUT you must have visited the complete wrong side of vancouver. People DO NOT keep to themselves in Vancouver unless you visit the rich ignorent people of which we dont have much! I have lived here for over 11 years and let me tell you, I know millions of friends who are from diffrent places that are THATS RIGHT, nice! Obviously you havent stayed there much to learn anything so i suggest you keep quiet!
cannukistan is wrong. You CAN and WILL get friends here. I dont know what he is talking about the wages but you can find affordable houseing and many friends but you need to find the right areas. Yes, we do have million dollar condos and i used to live in one but there are many other great places where you can get a great home and there are millions of friendly people there
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ummm, UnderTheStars you're an attractive young woman...of course you're going to find tonnes of friends. Otherwise, forget it. People keep to themselves in Vancouver. Hey, if that's what you're like, then Vancouver's for you.
Vancouver would be paradise but for two big problems with living there: cost of living vs. wages is totally out of whack...living standards are very poor. And I've never met people who were more full of themselves in my life!! They will not make friends with strangers there..in the six years I was there I wasn't able to have more than a handful of real friends. Those people really need to lighten up.
im an arab american (born and raised here) who lives in ohio. ive visited toronto before and loved it. i just got done with high school (class of 08) and was wondering if immigrating to canada was easy. this video is simply gorgeous btw
If your moving fron Phoenix, take a bus a make sure its almost empty, then drop off those Coyotes @ Hamiton Ontario and have a nice pleasant drive to Vancouver from there.
Beautiful Vancouver. Too bad immigration officers are so mean when you arrive at the airport. They treat visitors as a criminals, then they let you in. Once in the city..beautiful and nice people.
Maybe its because so many former immigrants take advantage of are liberal democracy and the beautiful country and opportunity presented to them. Its too bad those people ruin if for the good immigrants but then again maybe certain ethnic groups should be more vigilant and responsible for their communities and the way certain people conduct themselves in them.
There are others liberal democracy and beautiful countries, and they do not treat people that way. Iam a canadian citizen and I have seen how they treat visitors either they are chineese,hispanic,hindus etc. I have friends from different countries, but if I tell all their stories, ill never finish. Just take a look at the polish guy killed at the airport...and he was not a visitor he came as a resident. Maybe they have to be more carefull with the people working at the airport.
Thats one incident and it was wrong but stuff like that happens far more all over the world. No other country takes the people that Canada takes in. Far more brutal stuff is happening elsewhere. What countries are you talking about btw? England with its race riots? France with its gang rapes? Netherlands with there push to legalize child prostitution? none will allow nearly as much immigration as canada because they're already overcrowded. your lucky to be a citizen embrace and sustain it

Thats what happens when you close mental hospitals and give the patients their own medication hoping they will take it. The downtown Eastside has been a festering lost soul waste land for years. No one knows what to do about it. New York had the same problem and they cleaned it up so we can too.

Vancouver was the home to Dorothy Stratten. I wonder if the people of V.C. remember her? I wonder if they even care.

All big cities have their ugly side (East Van) the new mayor is trying to clean it up... I was just in the area yesterday and it looked alot better than the last time I was there (I try to avoid that area at all costs). The greater Vancover area is a beautifull place to live. I love living right on the ocean... and you kind of get used to the rainy winters after a while... I kind of like them. Summer is amazing here, it gets really hot and we have some awesome beaches!!

i was living there for 5 months and i can tell u that is a beautyful and clean city, i think vancouverties are very kind, in the summer is almost perfect, sunny days, you can find a job almost everywhere & there are a lot of beautyful places to visit, by the other hand in the winter the city becomes a little bit depressive. cos is all the opposite. im from guadalajara mexico

And BTW why would Vancouver be considered as one of the best cities in the world? Um, maybe because we arent ignorent people like cannuckistan who are jealous of others who live in one of the BEST places in the world!

Exuse me?! Ya sure im frikin hott thats why i got tons of friends :P JK BUT you must have visited the complete wrong side of vancouver. People DO NOT keep to themselves in Vancouver unless you visit the rich ignorent people of which we dont have much! I have lived here for over 11 years and let me tell you, I know millions of friends who are from diffrent places that are THATS RIGHT, nice! Obviously you havent stayed there much to learn anything so i suggest you keep quiet!
UnderTheStarsAngel 3 years ago
cannukistan is wrong. You CAN and WILL get friends here. I dont know what he is talking about the wages but you can find affordable houseing and many friends but you need to find the right areas. Yes, we do have million dollar condos and i used to live in one but there are many other great places where you can get a great home and there are millions of friendly people there

Ummm, UnderTheStars you're an attractive young woman...of course you're going to find tonnes of friends. Otherwise, forget it. People keep to themselves in Vancouver. Hey, if that's what you're like, then Vancouver's for you.

Vancouver would be paradise but for two big problems with living there: cost of living vs. wages is totally out of whack...living standards are very poor. And I've never met people who were more full of themselves in my life!! They will not make friends with strangers there..in the six years I was there I wasn't able to have more than a handful of real friends. Those people really need to lighten up.

Coming to Canada doesn't seem to be a big deal if you have a job lined up, especially one that would be hard to fill with someone already here.

Beautiful Vancouver. Too bad immigration officers are so mean when you arrive at the airport. They treat visitors as a criminals, then they let you in. Once in the city..beautiful and nice people.
KOOCHU 3 years ago
Maybe its because so many former immigrants take advantage of are liberal democracy and the beautiful country and opportunity presented to them. Its too bad those people ruin if for the good immigrants but then again maybe certain ethnic groups should be more vigilant and responsible for their communities and the way certain people conduct themselves in them.
hustlerman5 3 years ago 2
There are others liberal democracy and beautiful countries, and they do not treat people that way. Iam a canadian citizen and I have seen how they treat visitors either they are chineese,hispanic,hindus etc. I have friends from different countries, but if I tell all their stories, ill never finish. Just take a look at the polish guy killed at the airport...and he was not a visitor he came as a resident. Maybe they have to be more carefull with the people working at the airport.
KOOCHU 3 years ago
Thats one incident and it was wrong but stuff like that happens far more all over the world. No other country takes the people that Canada takes in. Far more brutal stuff is happening elsewhere. What countries are you talking about btw? England with its race riots? France with its gang rapes? Netherlands with there push to legalize child prostitution? none will allow nearly as much immigration as canada because they're already overcrowded. your lucky to be a citizen embrace and sustain it
