I'd say I'm a pretty positive person. But fvck it. 2017 is the year of new possibilities. I can do this. I can write a list about all of Vancouver's problems. I mean sure we have the mountains AND the ocean but there must be things that aren't great about the best coast.
Okay, yes. If I really want to think about it Vancouver has some issues. From transit to the weather and everything in between including where the fvck is Ryan Reynolds?!?
