You can't do anything like that in Vancouver.

The work culture is harder than Vancouver no doubt, but it gets rid of the useless dirtbags that abuse the union system in Canada. Coworkers are also more closeknit and do more stuff outside of work together.
Asia and Europe, the closely available travel is amazing for weekends away.

I love the Asian comradery in the workplace and socializing after work, though I find you get that way more in TO than Vancouver, but it is the different work culture. You don't get it so much in mainland Europe, but more so in London.

sadly, if you want to see dirt bag employees taking advantage of the system, come to Socialist Europe - the workplace laws here would make any capitalist sick...
