9. Will be able to FiNNALLY get a vanity plate...duh!

 

Hey Francois, what is that about vanity plate? Is this serious?

 

Ok, I just read it I'm now up to date . I will start to think about what I want.

 

Vancouver has more than 2 bridges.
It has the mildest climate in Canada. While snow storm was causing power outrage in eastern part, people in Vancouver were driving their cabriolet with roof opened.
It is very dry in summer. Expect 4-5 months straight without rain. But it rains a lot in the Fall though.
Property price is a bit expensive here. Good neighborhoods run at about over 3 million dollar for a nice but old house. Upscale addresses will easily cost you 7-10 million dollar. There are many listings above 20 million dollar, but those are for extra ordinary people. But you can still find many studio apartments below 500,000 dollar.
The population of Vancouver is only about 750,000. Not 1.5 million.

 

A bit expensive?

 

corrected.

 

Top reason? Justin Trudeau may become prime minister................................NOT

 

But ROFO as PM would be interesting

 

Sorry, out of touch with Canadian politics. What is a ROFO?

 

Da guy that does crazy things while in a drunken stupor

 

Well...., that would describe Justin Trudeau.
