Sure as fuck am hearing a lot of moaning about house prices going up faster than prices at Christmas. Mostly fucking foreigners get blamed. At least, it would seem, foreigners are good for something: getting blamed for shit they have no responsibility for whatsoever.
Know what I blame for ballooning house prices? Expo 86. That was the whole reason that shit fair got shoved up our ass. And you probably attended Expo 86 multiple times so if you are looking for someone to blame find yourself a motherfucking mirror.
I am proud to say I never set foot in the fucker.
Know who I blame even more than you? Bill Fucking Bennett. He is the scumbag who, with his miserable investment cronies like Jim Fucking Pattison, got us headed where they knew damn well we would end up. Up Crap Creek without a paddle.

I also never went to Eggsplo. Many in my family went, but being somewhat of an old communist type, did not.
Agreed. Kind of like telling everyone about your favourite fishing hole. I met some friends at an Asian restaurant on Broadway after they had been down at Expo....there was a view of the venue from the outside deck. Hope that doesn't count.
and another thing....most of our new residents don't even know what great wilderness areas are at our doorstep in order to go to those fishing holes...nor the industries that used to add value to our resources.....a whole lot of people with voting and money donating power...if not that, then they just don't care enough about anything except "world class" shopping (and real estate it seems)....a good plan all in all for the 1%, patient bunch that they are....water down the concerns of those of us born and bred here and sell off the province
WTF? You're blaming me for fucked up house prices just because I visited Expo? Well, I visited Expo because I live in the middle of nowhere and sometimes I get tired of looking at bush and want to see something different.
It's not my problem that house prices in la la land are so high and I don't give a shit how high they go. Neither do I care who's to blame for it all.
KenC - you'll start caring when Me and the rest of my urban crew move in next door to you, if I cash in before Hell freezes over and prices back the fuck up, and you get to experience big city life transplanted into your bush land.
"move in next door to you".....yup....I'm already looking to move to one of those places I would normally just visit once in a while...used to be happy enough living and working in the Big Smoke with just vacation time spent roaming around, but not no more
The next World Fair BC hosts may end up in Goldbridge or some place just like it once the exodus of Big Smokers to the Winterlands is done. The developer squad would have fun with Goldbridge - RIGHT IN WHISTLER'S BACK YARD!
spend some time at a good buddies cabin on Gun Lake, which would then end up being like a Coquitlam to your Expo86'ed Goldbridge...jeez...means rules coming to all those abandoned high mountain mine roads that always seem to lead to the bar...that'll get everyone's attention that doesn't see the Exodus coming
