Vancouver is such a special place. It is so special I think that those who live there sometimes feel guilty at how special it is. In many ways, I think it’s the same about Canada. If our ethnic communities are not at each other’s throats, if we don’t riot after Cup losses, we can’t be a real or serious place. We aren’t big time. But maybe there’s a bigger big time that is much more innately us.
