They’re so out of touch’: British Columbians yearn to move isolated island capital to Vancouver

[nuckin_futz]

Last year 8.5 million tourists traveled the world to get to Vancouver to experience those things.

Taking the capital away from Victoria would kill our economy (as a person who lives in Victoria), as already stated.

I have no idea why Wetcoaster would want a city in his own province to diminish and gradually fail, that's just ridiculous.

Vancouver is good for 3 things. Canuck games, concerts and YVR.

Couldn't pay me enough to live there.

That's wonderful for them. Have you never traveled anywhere that didn't live up to the billing?

[Gross-Misconduct]

You speak as if you want her and her Cabinet dead. Correct?

[RAMBUTANS]

So how long will it take for the savings of having the capital in a more convenient location to add up enough to pay for the move?

I think you mean this.....

[Common sense]

Dead is such a strong word.

What a bull**** article. I've never heard anyone even mention moving the capital from Victoria. It's just a made up story from some starving journalist

You talk as if this would be a bad thing.

[Heretic]

Victoria will become useless if this happens. Locals will lose their jobs. BC Ferry's will also lose even more business.

Keep it in Victoria, I honestly wouldn't even care about the building if it was here. I've seen it once and that's enough.
