Vancouver has become so backwards, inept, expensive and bloated, that it no longer is able to have a fireworks show on July 1st. Fortunately, Vancouver was unable to get all the other major cities in Canada to give up & cancel their fireworks shows.
Vancouver used to have a Canada Day fireworks display, but gave up. Vancouver used to have a sea festival, but it got watered down and washed away.
While Vancouver's Sea Festival sank, Seattle's Seafair not only remained a float, but has grown stronger over the years. https://www.seafair.org , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafair#Events
Its as if Vancouver is trying to be one of the world's strangest, backwards and inept cities.
