Why build things to an impressive international scale like Brisbane is doing?
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.669870 Small-scale Vancouver just has to build things that are only impressive to backwater BC.
Fortunately, The+Brisbane+Aquatic+Centre didn't have the same Vancouver B$ to contend with.
If you are from Brisbane & plan to visit Vancouver, you might at first expect to see a real city on the scale of Sydney or SF, or at least Seattle and Perth. Instead, you will see a provincial backwater of a city. The result of imposed overlapping hiderences.
Somehow, the Vancouver Mind Virus keeps creeping up through the decades. Have a smaller, Half-A$$ED pool than Brisbane, just like having a short joke of a train to the airport. That's the backwards Vancouver way.
