I was reading the Vancouver Sun online this morning and came across this article about immigrants fleeing their nations only to arrive in Vancouver and be ‘forced’ to live in Surrey and the burbs as they cannot afford to live in Vancouver city proper due to our real estate prices. I get that it’s pricey here but look at cities like New York, London, Paris, etc. These cities are all FAR more expensive than the ‘Couv real estate and cost of living-wise yet they have tons and tons of immigrants living there. The ‘Couv is pricey but look to your immigrant friends in the other cities and then complain; you have it pretty damn good here.

Come to Canada-we are such a welfare state! Anyhows, all the social assistance they get will go farther in Surrey.
