Delta to allow outdoor booze consumption at certain events
The amendment would authorize the general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture to approve uses on a case-by-case basis https://www.delta-optimist.com/local-news/delta-to-allow-outdoor-booze-consumption-at-certain-events-12333571
Sometimes a bunch of cantankerous, constipated old people just can't stop young people from having fun.
Six arrested after chaotic B.C. chase involving dogs, helicopter, emergency team
Sometimes the level of stupidity and foolishness is just too much!
Nothing like driving very fast in a stolen vehicle for some. However, they didn't seem to understand that doing that on an island dramatically limits where they can go, especially when there is only one main island highway.
Its not like they could just hop onto a ferry to Delta and escape into the BC_Interior.

Restaurants and hospitality operators across British Columbia are welcoming a three-year pilot project from the provincial government to expand liquor purchasing options

Its strange as to why BC has to be so slow in getting things done better.
Racism is a risk when Vancouver and Toronto hosts the World Cup
https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/national-sports/racism-is-a-risk-when-vancouver-hosts-world-cup-but-measures-exist-bc-ag-sharma-12361474 So, this is basically the same article repeated.
https://www.britannica.com/place/British-Empire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Rivalry_with_other_European_empires
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Expansion_and_colonial_conflict_(1707%E2%80%931783)
Despite its overall area, Canada has less than 1% of the worlds population. A global population that is mostly nonwhite.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Consolidation_and_global_dominance_(1783%E2%80%931815)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Britain's_imperial_century_(1815%E2%80%931914)
For its first century, Canada was supposed to be primarily for people from Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Changing_status_of_the_white_colonies
That was the British Colonial Agenda, but eventually the British_Empire had to acknowledge that most of the worlds population is nonwhite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#Decolonisation_and_decline_(1945%E2%80%931997)
There are strong arguments that Canada should be able to gradually contain a little more of the worlds population. Since a lot of the worlds population is from warmer areas, a lot of people might not like the Canadian Winter season. SW BC just happens to be the most mild part of Canada during the winter. The Lower_Mainland of BC and SE Vancouver_Island have been very reluctant to think big and build on a grand scale.
The Lions+Gate+Bridge and the Johnson+Street+Bridge are both classic 3 lane BC bottleneck-chokepoints. They are both fine examples of not wanting to build for a growing population on a world that is composed mostly of nonwhite people.
Toronto and Southern Ontario just never had the same level of small scale thinking as in SW BC. In fact, it the backwards BC approach to things just never caught on in Toronto, Melbourne and SF. They never got rid of their streetcars and trams like Vancouver and Victoria did.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/lzvgg7/the_british_empire_at_its_territorial_peak_oc/
As Canada started to become more multicultural in the 1960s and 70s, predominantly White city councils in BC kept imposing a small-scale approach to things.
Will some people start to say that by keeping most of the world out of Canada is good for the environment? There are already some people that would like to use nonwhites as being too much of a carbon footprint and that Canada should never have 1% of the worlds population. This would be a very clever and sinister way to perpetuate the KEEP THEM OUT agenda.
The days of Canada being officially under a British Colonial, White authority management power structure are long gone. As of 2026, Canada has yet to have half of 1% of the worlds population.

Burnaby 2050 sets the city’s long game
https://www.straight.com/burnaby/burnaby-2050-sets-citys-long-game
While Burnaby is smaller in area and population compared to Vancouver, its a lot bigger than tiny NW.
Unlike Vancouver, Burnaby can build taller than Vancouver, because it isn't bound by Vancouver's imposed height restrictions.
https://www.straight.com/burnaby/what-burnaby-builds-next-depends-on-urban-design-getting-it-right
Unlike Vancouver, Burnaby has more than just a few kilometers of freeway going through it. The highway right of way was acquired when Burnaby was still mostly undeveloped. That's the same case for Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Langley & Abbotsford.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia_Highway_1#Lower_Mainland_section There should eventually be an elevated, high-capacity interregional commuter train along BC_Highway_1. However, BC takes a very slow approach towards dealing with congestion and mobility.
