Now that I have my own car (Acura CSX) I now have to worry about gas prices and car maintence and the jazz. Was browsing through the world wide web and google of course and found a interesting site. http://www.vancouvergasprices.com/ is a site which has users post up prices of gas from specific locations. It shows where people have found the highest price in gas to the lowest prices, the site is updated roughly every 30 mins so its pretty much up to date. I know where I need to fill up my car I’ll be checking out this site first before heading out to fill up.
P.S: Generally late at night gas prices tend to be cheaper probaly because of the lack of cars during that time of the day and its cooler at night.
With each passing day the Olympic clock outside the Vancouver art gallery closes on the day that Vancouver will soon host the 2010 Olympics. As a Vancouverite I’m quite ecstatic on having the Olympics on coming in my neck of the woods. Get to see all the athletes, sporting events, competition, seeing our proud nation being represented and my favorite our national hockey team beating the American team once again ( it could happen ). Though something doesn’t seem right here….the problem is not everyone is happy that the Olympics are going to come, most noticeably the homeless & the many citizens that live in the DTES (Downtown East Side). There have been unknown sources that say once the Olympics are closer to date, the liberal ( or whoever is in charge ) will without hesitation “ask them to leave” say to calargy or to the inner regions of British Columbia. While I must say this was profound to me I can see where they are coming from. As a host city hundreds if not thousandas of reporters will be coming over to report the Olympics for their respected news corporation whether that may be for television, newspapers, radio or even on a blog website. Besides the reporters thousands of fans will also arrive to see the Olympics front and centre, this is when they will most likely see our problem. Vancouver unfortuantely has one of the worst downtowns in western Canada if not on the Pacific region. Poverty, Drug Addicts as well as Prostitutes are constantly roaming around the streets and one of the most common places they group up is by the downtown library ( not the central library ). As long as I have lived in Vancouver this has been a common problem, it is just now since the Olympics are coming the LIberal government is forced to take action. I know I am rambling alot but I’ll end off with this statement. The current government needs to take action, that doesnt mean kicking them out and let the dust settle, one can only hope this government does the right thing before and bloodshed begins.
