Wish we could kick out the useless bums who come here from the other provinces.

My favourite West Coast moment..... canoe out on a lake at the crack of dawn with nobody else in sight for miles - taking in the fresh crisp air - slight early morning fog hovering over pristine water - listening to the birds and other wildlife. Nothing like it.

My favourite childhood moment........ out at sea on my father's commercial fishing boat going up and down the coast off Queen Charlottes - the smell of the sea, the awesome scenery.

sounds like a lot of you havn't been outside BC........

while I've been all over Canada, I've only been as far east as montreal, but 90% of the above suggestions are found all across canada.

Mountains and an overpriced real estate market are the 2 main things you won't find anywhere else in the country.
Sure we have the pacific ocean, but every province has water, ours just has retarded overpriced ferry service in it.

[Nightwalker]

c-lais. My friends who are studying out in the eastern parts of Canada have never heard of them.

No one on the island has either. Some of these suggestions are definitely Vancouver things, not BC or west coast things.

I'll add surfing.

[shenmecar]

How about the fresh air, forests, hydroelectricity, vast ocean scenery, water sports, mountains, winter sports, mild summer/winter temperatures, some of the best roads to drive on (take hwy 99 north all the way to the end, you'll know what i'm talking about), hst, excellent seafood, very multicultural (at least the lower mainland is, not so if you go further east of Maple Ridge), high cost of living, ferries, waterfalls.........thats more than 10 right?

I've been to places as far as Quebec and I have to disagree. Our scenery combined with everything else is way more awesome. I have yet to be on the Atlantic, but I cannot imagine it being better.

Even our salmon kicks ass over theirs, LOL.

Great Lakes? LOLOLOLOLOL.............

[Lomac]

The ability to drive only a couple hours and experience both a temperate rain forest (world's largest, nonetheless!) and some of the driest desert in the world.

I shit you not, but as weird as this sounds, watching the leaves change colour is actually much better in Montreal than it is here. I don't know why it is, but it's true.

That said, the majority of southern Europe has much better scenery than us. :p And I hate to say this, but the flatness of the Prairies is actually pretty neat on it's own.

forget the leaves. I love our cherry blossoms.

sooo JDM!.....not

General Currie Rd, Richmond, BC, Canada - Google Maps

What else do we have? We have the best jiggly puffs culture in all of Canada fo sho! :rofl:

Also the Asian influence here is a lot stronger than anywhere Eastwards. Remember 5 years ago you drive a car and you yield to pedestrians? Now pedestrians yield to you here - regardless of their ethnicity! It's uncanny. Only true to the West of Surrey, of course.

You can't mention West Coast without mentioning our hilarious grow-op operators...With guard bears.

We also have cheap Asian food. Oh yeaaaah your late night Alexandra Rd food run is not to be taken for granted. So cherish it.

The flatness of the prairies is useless - that just means the closest ski resort is 4+ hours away. You have all the adversaries of having snow 8 months a year and none of the benefits. Eff that.

I'm in Winnipeg right now everything but clubs shut down at 9. Even fast food joints....omg.

I don't know how you can explain this in a few words. But the ability for Vancouver to keep around a lot of greenery while still expanding the city.

Heh, I'm not saying the pancake provinces are pretty; I merely meant that there's something about how flat they are that makes it look neat. True, it gets old very fast, but it's something we don't see here in BC so it's a novelty for us. lol

Well, if you're fried/stoned and you stare at the wheat fields for a long time, you start to see some really weird/fine stuff. :p

the towns are boring but as lomac said theres something to the flat land that is interesting especially if you are used vancouver area. you can also see the northern lights a lot, pretty trippy.

[TekDragon]

1) Temperate climate
2) Rain
3) We're not alberta.

i've never lived in another Canadian city...how is the symbolism for the aboriginals back East? I see a lot of association with the haida (sp?) symbols here in vancouver (ie. Police cruiser decals..olympics...ubc..etc)..similiar deal there? Don't they have what's originally the Irequois population there (sp?)

[MG1]

Heh, I'm not saying the pancake provinces are pretty

Speaking of pancakes, I once dated a girl who was as flat as a pancake and she was far, far from boring. I couldn't keep up (pun intended). Wild is putting it mild.

[drunkrussian]

mountains, wild life, alberta beef, bc salmon, coffee shops, weed, stampede, high tech sector, rain
