The Fictional Vancouver : The Queen's English

ab Initio

"Today, Vancouver is a prosperous and beautiful
city. It has never known war, bombing, revolution, famine, or plague. Although it felt the full
force of the economic depression of the 1930’s,
relative to most other parts of the world it has
been only lightly brushed by industrial blight,
class struggle, poverty, slums, and organized
crime. Vancouverites’ complaints tend to target
the provincial government and the long rainy
season, although it is generally conceded that
the government is well-intentioned and the
climate is the most temperate in Canada.
