      Yeah ummm thanks for the heads up!

      I have lived in 4 Provinces and 1 Territory.. in 4 of the largest cities in Canada.. Vancouver is very safe..it has a large social problem indeed..but in every major center across Canada I see the homeless, drug dealers and drunken crackies. Vancouver itself is a very small city and it gets more attention than the rest of Canada for it's junkies and famous corner.

      More sad than unsafe IMO.
      we get that attention because we have (and you live in) the highest hiv per captia sqare block area in north america. it might not be now, but it was when i worked at hempbc between 1998-2000 and it's only gotten worse. being the warmest big city in canada, scum gravitates here. i've only otherwise lived in scarbarough and la, and yes if i had to choose to be dropped into the worst part of any of the three, it would be vancouver. but this city has gotten alot worse in the past couple years. still my favourite place in the world though.

        Conde Nast Traveller in this coming issue rated Vancouver as the #2 destination to visit in all of the Americas (Victoria, BC was rated #1). That is the largest travel mag out there and they used a bunch of criteria to evaluate the choices and Vancouver beat Cancun, Las Vegas, NYC...

        Its not fair to look at specific incidents and draw sweeping conclusions. We do have a huge drug and homeless problem that causes us to have the highest property crime rate in North America per capita (I believe Miami, FL. was #2 and was way behind), but with regard to murders, muggings, shootings...Vancouver is a very safe place. Take away the crazed druggies and it would even more so.

          Hehe I never had any trouble in Vancouver, other than the trouble Makingcoin and I start at the Roxy.

          It also might have something to do with the fact that I am 6"0 200+ pounds. People usually don't look at guys like me first to rob, they go for an easier target.

          P.S. If I didn't no Magnus and he was walking towards me down the street I would run. The guy is a monster!!!

            Thats freaking weird because most vancouverites living in montreal are heroine addicts or prostitutes...

                            that's what i thought as i read everyones posts. personally i've never had someone start shit randomly (well in surrey when i was kid but..).

                            I've heard lots of stories from friends that are female or of smallar stature though. They go for the easy victim

                                Why the fuck would you make such a comment about Quebec without even saying why... That show us all how stupid you are! I have been living in Vancouver for over 7 years and believe me, I never had any problem with anybody and I am french Canadian from Quebec dumb ass!

                                And you are wondering why people from quebec want to separate...

                                  If you guys think Vancouver is safe than why dont you go sit at...

                                  If you guys think Vancouver is safe than why dont you go sit at the corner of Main and Hasting after 9pm... If you look like you dont belong there, you'll get jumped within 5 min. by some Indian, Latino or White English Speaking Canadian Crack addict...

                                  For the french pot head on welfare, you are totally right! They spend the winter on Granville and the summer on St-Catherine in Mtl.

                                  As for fencing quebec, please dont generalise and more than anything else, think before typing!

                                      Vancouver is a nice city, but I've never been to any city with more homeless people begging at every corner and approaching you constantly. Victoria is bad too.

                                      Vancouver is the homeless bum capital of the western world. Soon tourists won't even want to go there. They'll step off those cruise ships in the harbour and be mobbed by hoards of bums asking for money.
                                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                            I think we should be bitching at everybody but people from Alberta and Ontario! The distribution of money from the federal government is going that way:

                                            Provinces that receive less than they give:

                                            1- Alberta$$$
                                            2- Ontario

                                            Provinces that receive more than they give:

                                            The rest of the country!

                                            See this Finance ministry link for more details

                                            So unless you live and pay taxes in AB or ON you receive more than you pay so stop wining about paying people's welfare!

                                            *I am still questioning myself why do I pay 55% in taxes if the federal is transfering so much money to the provinces?

                                            My 2 cents

                                                    Provinces that receive less than they give:

                                                    1- Alberta$$$
                                                    2- Ontario

                                                    Provinces that receive more than they give:

                                                    The rest of the country!

                                                    See this Finance ministry link for more details

                                                    So unless you live and pay taxes in AB or ON you receive more than you pay so stop wining about paying people's welfare!

                                                    *I am still questioning myself why do I pay 55% in taxes if the federal is transfering so much money to the provinces?

                                                    My 2 cents

                                                              I was on my way home from work one day and was violently attacked by a 6 foot goon while his 3 friends waited in the car..
                                                              He tried to pull a grab and run with my purse and failed...
                                                              When he realized i still had my purse in my hand, he turned around, came back and beat the crap out of me.

                                                              He never even ended up taking my bag!!
                                                              I had cauliflower ear for a few weeks and my legs didnt heal for almost 2 months. He was kicking me after i fell on the ground.

                                                              Vancouver is still home for me either way.
                                                              I guess it could hapen anywhere..Im not sure if its the cities we live in or the people we share them with......
                                                              Vancouver is a beautiful city but its got a lot of drugs and dead beats as well. lots of beggers.
