My grandpas cancer treatment has been second to none and he's still alive at 87 because of it. I eat healthy, have access to a good music scene, some of the most beautiful places in the world are a short drive or even a walk away. I can snowboard 30 days a season, I work 4 days a week, get a month vacation, don't assume my neighbour has a gun in his pocket.
I don't know? If that all sucks it sounds like a you problem? Are there better places or improvements that can be made? Absofuckinloutely, but if you really think it sucks here, it's an issue with how you look at the world. Honestly you should consider therapy, and I don't mean that as a dig. It helps a lot when it comes to perspective.
Damn straight Westopher! I'm not sure how anyone can visit other parts of the world and not come back to Vancouver and think "I'm glad to be home". Yeah, the rat race sucks here but it's the same shit everywhere else. Air is high quality when not polluted from wildfires. Water here tastes great straight outta the tap and even better when filtered or boiled . Take that shitty tasting expensive euro water.

At least we have some of the best selection AND quality of Asian food. Where else can you find a melting pot of so many cultures bringing some of the best things they have to offer?

Hehe, you mention about the kids education and how our education system isn't good enough for them because we have a complacent system. Sorry bud but don't blame the educators. It's their job is to teach and transfer knowledge. We hear/read about what you think as an adult but what was the conversation like with the kids?

The attitude of "aim for excellence, seek for improvement and never make do" should be taught and enforced at home. It starts with the parents and their actions.
