One again, English forgot in Vancouver in British Columbia History, the presence between of Francophones. They were until 1858 the majority in numbers, in language, they were from everywhere, Canada, France, Belgium, Swisszerland, they were Metis too, a lot...
And if they will not had been there, Vancouver and British Columbia, will be probably in the US.
The history with Expo and The Olympics makes me sick. Long time residences being kicked out of their homes and given nowhere else to live. Also the fact that Vancouver doesn't support its local/live/original music/art ,unless it's already given the stamp of approval by corporate types, tells me that Vancouver is not the cosmopolitan city it claims to be and still needs to grow the hell up.

What a depressing video... Vancouver was so beautiful... now it is just a stain on Canada. It's not even a Canadian city anymore.

@PavleProductions If I have to explain it to you... then there is no point in trying to explain.

I'd much rather have lived in the Vancouver of the 50's and 60's.

@OldCarsAreBest When Vancouver still looked like it was in Canada and not somewhere in Asia.

Great job! It is hard to capture the complex history of a city in a promotional video.

Kick ass video! Cool that the city has the guts to be honest about it's past and what immigrants have faced coming here. Really professional job.
