Vancouver had its biggest lightning storm in 20-years, and it coincided with the annual fireworks we had.....at around 9 pm, the sky turned blood red (as seen in photos below) with the sunset doing its thing through the thunder clouds. The storm lasted for more than 2 hours, with a lightning flash every 5-10 secs.

dont do it, trust me

ur gonna HATE how much tax the gov will squeeze out of u...tax hikes almost every yr, not to mention the recently proposed hst tax that bumps up the current one by 7% more and nothing will be exempt from tax (services like haircut, all grocery items, EVERYTHING!) plus all the other government companies like the car insurance company, transportation company, etc etc with more taxes for u

very expensive city to live in and quite boring. vancouver is like the tax capital of canada
