Please Hunky do you have any idea how big Vancouver is...????


City officials say a total of 29 businesses were damaged, about 15 vehicles were overturned or burned, portable toilets were toppled and trash cans were torched.

Worst hit were Hudson's Bay, London Drugs, Bank of Montreal and a car rental agency on West Georgia Street, and the Sears, Future Shop and Chapters stores on Robson Street.

Many have signed on the Wall of Forgiveness - temporary plywood walls decorated by many messages covers the damaged windows of the Hudson's Bay Company store in downtown Vancouver. The Wall stretches from Granville St., Georgia St. and Seymour St. (Mark Ferris)
Crews worked hard to sweep up, replace the glass and board the windows as office workers arriving for work looked on in disbelief and confusion, and snapped photos of the mess.

Many volunteers also responded to a Facebook campaign and were on the streets with brooms, shovels and garbage bags helping city workers clean up the broken glass and trash that remained strewn across city streets.


No where close to being burned to the ground, dont over exagerate, it does nothing to enhance your post

Speaking of photos, I saw the pic of the kissing couple, which was an amazing shot and such a contradiction imo.

of course it wasnt Hunky people caring and cleaning up , doesnt make good cover.
How much news has their been on that horrible mess down in joplin, unless you look for it, or use local resources,
How many people commented on the presidents trip down there, or the cries for help or the fact that people are getting sick because of the mould spores getting into their wounds?. nope they wanna talk about how much golf he plays(see FORE in the P&R)or the latest cock shots from the weiner meister.

PS
Vancouver city is 44.3 square miles in area, population is almost 600,000
Vancouver metro is 1,11.4 square miles and the population is just over 2 million, so its not small or burned down.
The downtown core is a mess, but being cleaned up, I would think, it wont take long, . Tj, i hope it gets back to normal asap

Lucy there is something about this riot that ...is very sad.

I always looked up to Canada- as the people were always civil, the example.   The riot reminded me of something that would happen in the US.,  and I am sad that the once reliable example- might not be that reliable any more.

Hopefully it will blow over.   I hate that we export garbage.....
