the "creme de la creme" live

They probably bought them their jobs too, judging by the entitled, arrogant, useless people I've had to work with here.

And totally traumatized for life

Jesus, it was the complete opposite in East Van. Kids were feral and left to their devices by parents who were never qualified to have children. I'm not projecting, it was crazy. The stories I could tell make you weep. The only good it spawned was the music scenes. It takes something wild to give a scene like that it's authenticity and frankly speaking, the bands Vancouver produced are the only thing this city has contributed to culture internationally. No one from the West Side has contributed to anything significant to put Vancouver
on the map. The Olympics were pretty much forgotten weeks after they were over by the world, and Lululemon is just a brand worn by slaves who will buy what there told.

As usual, it's the creative class who almost always have hard disadvantaged lives who give what little soul Vancouver has left and occasionally the world notices. Google bands from Vancouver.

The west side is/was ridiculous!

Vancouver is a small time bush league place that wishes it was important.

Small thinking to define yourself by geography or even nationality or race. We are one multi-coloured race. Not the horse race, not the dog or rat race; but one family. Time to mature and make your longest journey in the universe(s) ... 39cm (16inch) from your head to your heart.

The wiener kid generation has no idea what a scandal is anymore. We all knew college admission was bought out by rich people forever. Now it is a scandal because politicians are desperate to appease an angrier and angrier populace (some of it being legitimate and the other half being wiener kids whining and wanting a super Cushy and East life)

Vancouver is full of old wealth and my family is a great example. The ones who fell through the cracks have been shunned. It’s disgusting.

The college Admissions Scandal was just the way it worked with big money. I never, ever would have thought it would be considered illegal, it’s been happening forever.
