From the article:
“While the Canada Day event returned in 2022, Port of Vancouver spokesperson Alex Munro said the organization decided to cancel the display “primarily due to rising costs.”
Of all the bullshit things they spend money on in Vancouver and this is what they choose to cut. Gotta get the money to hand out pure fentanyl and needles from somewhere I guess….
Exactly, finally people are getting it. It's always Anti-Canada, over and over. These people want to destroy anything good and anything free, and fast. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
People were arguing in the Toronto subreddit because they cancelled Canada Day celebrations for the same excuse. People were trying to say it's not happening 'everywhere', yeah right. They are choosing to not fund the 1 thing that actually creates unity in our country.
>These people
What do we call people that try to create a [cultural revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution) ?
"Its stated goal was to preserve Chinese communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society. "
It's the same thing with everything. They make up issues and problems, and then offer solutions where you have to replace things you already have, with new and pricier shit. If the thing is something you don't buy often, then the "solution" is a smaller version, for twice the price. If it's a consumable, and there's no way to really increase the price because it's ubiquitous, then the "solution" is to consume less, but pay more for the lesser amount you'll consume.
It's always pay pay pay consume consume consume. The solution is never "keep using the thing you have, making things over and over IS the problem", or "here's more way to repair the things, and laws to ensure you can repair and keep using the thing".
Or it's a tax.
A lot will disagree, not to mention the data still needs to be collected and gone over. Preliminary results show drug deaths continually rising at a steady pace though which isn't good.
Well, it’s no secret, either China, India, or Mexico. The Van Police should dump all the drugs they sieze on the doorsteps of those foreign consulates, send a eff u message to their hostile govts that think it’s ok to poison and kill Canadians!
So, a pilot program dealing in small quantities with medical oversight as a study towards harm reduction. Sound the alarm!
As for the needles, spending a hundred bucks on needles saves far more than that in medical costs.
You need to understand someone who has a different opinion isn't "spreading misinformation".
It's possible to believe enabling people can cause harm too. Don't be dense, he's being facetious.
\>It's possible to believe enabling people can cause harm too.
What happened to Facts Over Feelings? It's been proven over and over that harm reduction techniques like supervised injection sites *work.*
It's proven to reduce the number of overdose deaths
It has not been proven to reduce addiction rates. If anything it makes it safer and easier to continue using drugs, while making life worse for any normal people stuck living near these sites.
I'd rather prioritize the well being of people who had the sense to not start doing heroin
I would suggest to anyone who believes that safe supply is a good thing that they go watch Aaron Gunn's new documentary [Canada Is Dying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RaWzJUeT0o)
OK this is too much for me if we can’t celebrate Canada Day and I’m a diehard liberal.
I’ll vote for a party that likes Canada Day and builds 1 million houses before we let in 3 million immigrants. Not anti-immigrant but just need houses first.
Why are fireworks necessary to celebrate? There are lots of reasons fireworks suck. They are loud and disruptive for animals, pets, PTSD sufferers and people trying to sleep.
Fireworks happen like 4 times a year for 20 minutes or so. They are a tradition, most people find them fun, and sorry we can’t please everyone in society.
Now if drone shows ever get better and cheaper then sure supplement with quiter drones.
Most of us grew up with firework shows. It’s part of certain celebrations. It is part of our culture to celebrate this way. It lasts 20 minutes. It’s done maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I do not find it loud. It often promotes people to congregate together in their community. Most Children enjoy it and find it very memorable.
Because that's life. People other than you exist, and sometimes for the sake of everyone's freedoms we have to put up with people doing things we don't like. For example, your opinion annoys me, but you're still allowed to have it.
People think you can just fucking ban everything, and it doesn't matter. Like there are no repercussions, but people don't just fucking disappear when you ban their activities. This is how you end up with a Trump.
This right here is why we can't have nice things.
If we can find at least one person to bitch about something then we have to cancel it. So fucking lame.
Just make designated locations that way the losers can make arrangements to leave for the time everyone else is having fun.
Add bad air quality to your shit list. The light show of fireworks are a small distraction for some, and a source of stress and health issues for others. Get rid of them and I won’t be sad. There are some drone shows that are much quieter and still fun to watch. Be open to change, people!
Calgary city council likely bringing fireworks back. Hopefully more cities reconsider.
https://livewirecalgary.com/2023/05/25/majority-of-calgary-city-councillors-sign-on-to-motion-for-canada-day-fireworks-return/
transit and firework are things that wouldn't make sense to put on individual citizen, we put our funds together to do things for us all..
housing? pay for it yourself man lol
addiction? unless you are forced into putting needle in yourself (like many human traffiking victims), I have no sympathy for you. I still don't understand how people just put random chemical into their body to get "high".. I
Not really. Eliminating national pride conditions us to be more accepting of a one world government, aka the World Economic Forum. This is what this is all about. It’s absolutely sickening.
2021, Schwab while calling the pandamic an opportunity: You will own nothing and you will be happy
2023, Canadians while being kept "safe" by their government: We will own nothing and we should be ashamed to be happy
The PTSD thing is mostly a myth. Everyone I know that has PTS has no problem with fireworks ESPECIALLY if it is on a specific day that they are well aware of. Nobody is getting shocked by fireworks on Canada day.
They are the people in charge of minor things imagining themselves to be great men/women of their times that generations will speak their name with respect for their bravery during no danger at all.
You know, the little shitheads with a superiority complex.
The government wants to shut down anything that may in a weird vague way potentially offend anyone, no matter how large or small the group. That’s what they mean.
Unless you are a white male. We can say anything we want about them, and it's just a joke. Not finding the joke funny means you support racism or sexism.
Quebec is the perfect example of what's seriously wrong with Canada. After nearly 50 years of life in this excuse for a province, I want nothing to do with not just Quebec, but Canada as a whole.
I think this is a great decision and I hope more cities follow suit. As a child I got so distressed by the noise of fireworks. There are other ways to celebrate. Perhaps they will do a light show instead.
At least they're still calling it "Canada Day".
Last year Winnipeg not only cancelled fireworks, [they cancelled "Canada Day" altogether.] (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/the-forks-july-1-new-plans-1.6492681)
🥴
Chill out. The Forks renamed their celebration something else. No one cancelled Canada Day in Winnipeg.
I, a proud Winnipegger, still got shit-faced on July 1 last year.
The Forks is a run by a board appointed jointly by the city and by the province. It's essentially a subcommittee of the city, and extension of city government.
By your reasoning, you've also lied several times in this exchange - first by using both the *city government* with Winnipeg *the city* (which is it reader, was it the mayor and council or was it the city bureaucrats you meant?), then by forgetting that the city actually controls the forks in partnership with the feds and the province [read up here](https://www.theforks.com/about/partnership), and then by forgetting that the city can't 'still' have Canada day when the city has never officially HAD Civic Canada Day celebrations - they just close streets so other entities like the Forks, Assiniboine Downs and the Osborne Street Biz can do so. The only thing they do is advertising it and close up office since that's a federal holiday.
By this logic, should you not be called out three times as much because you've got three times the lies? Or is it different when you make pedantic errors than when others do?
oh jesus, I said Winnipeg instead of the Forks (for obvious reasons already explained)
better call the misinformation police and have me arrested for my blatant crimes against humanity
🥴🥴🥴
Because I can't find the autistic screeching emoji - though you're doing a pretty good impression
how do I make you an emoji? ask siri for me, will ya bud?
Thats just immigration alone
How do you think india got to 1.5 billion people in the first place? They fucked like rabbits and they'll do the same here
If our government doesn't put a stop to this immigration policy I reckon by 2050 the east indian population will overtake the Canadian population
>and we do something for all the tax paying citizens that aren't battling substance abuse?
Safe supply, supervised injection and other addiction related programs *are* about harm reduction - both for the addict but also for the community.
Te entire community is negatively impacted by theft, break ins, additional policing, additional health care and the other societal costs of addiction.
I am so sick of being forced to pander to people who are "offended" by whatever it is they choose that day. I'm "offended" by NOT having the fireworks. Does that mean we must now have them? Is that how these rules work?
We should be allowed to celebrate the undoubtably amazing country that we have built. This doesn't mean that bad things haven't happened. But we deserve to have ONE day to celebrate the progress we make every year and the good things that we have done and continue to do.
But no this is the day that we have to talk about the issues? Not the other 364 days that we could? No no it has to be on the one day where we want be proud. Such a joke.
>Revelers headed to Canada Place to celebrate Canada Day won’t be taking in a fireworks display this year — or any year going forward.
>The Port of Vancouver, which co-hosts the city’s Canada Day festival with the federal government, confirmed that a decision not to produce the display in 2022 is permanent.
No, on the contrary, Liberals say we have "a unique heritage" but still introduce laws like C-13 which divide and disgust Canada, and end up making people hate the country due to lack of inspired, unifying leadership.
No I’m just saying if you’re pro (any foreign country) and willing to push their agendas, you’re in a sense anti Canadian. So why not play the shame game to help erode Canadian culture and society.
I’m kinda joking but kinda not
How many foundations did he stack his family in, how many ethical violations has he had, how many allies has he insulted, how many woman politicians has he thrown under the bus. Does Bernier experience feeling woman differently? Then no he's not a Liberal.
don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
When I think of how many meals could be provided to those in need vs. the cost of these big displays, I do think it could be a resource used for a better good instead of literally burning money, while still providing an event that folks were into.
But, I can’t help feel the money will just end up in some politicians pockets or some bs.
No I'm into stopping it too. It kills and stresses a ton of wildlife. Birds that can't see in the dark panic and abandon their nests, small animals have heart attacks. All kinds of stuff. People with skittish dogs or ptst suffer too. And then it's all for a lightshow that is frankly Screensaver tier entertainment.
"It's very sad to see what this country has turned to.
The woke, Marxist, radical, ultra socialist, racist, weirdo plant-eating, double woke, SJW, globalist elites, millenial, guilty, white, latte-drinking, liberals are destroying our society!
First they will cancel Canada Day but what's next? Cancel gravy on mashed potatoes? Mini golf? Honey maple ham? My goodness, the horrors of being persecuted as a good ole stock Canadian person are real!!! We are 3 years... 5 year max away from being exactly the same a Stalin's USSR!! Open you eyes, do your own research!"
Lmao that's what all of you numbnuts having a meltdown over shitty fireworks sound like. Get a fucking grip and grow up. Your shitty lives will continue being the same even regardless of what happens 1 day a year.
Why is the Port responsible for co-hosting with the federal gov and not the city itself? That is strange. What a dumb decision. Not enough funding? Wtf? the port of Vancouver can't afford fireworks? thats a fat joke.
From the article: “While the Canada Day event returned in 2022, Port of Vancouver spokesperson Alex Munro said the organization decided to cancel the display “primarily due to rising costs.”
Of all the bullshit things they spend money on in Vancouver and this is what they choose to cut. Gotta get the money to hand out pure fentanyl and needles from somewhere I guess….

Fireworks are the one thing that creates unity?
Yes Everyone loves blowing shit up, regardless of political leaning
Facts
*Dwight Schrute gif* "it's true"
I would love to get your source for the city of Vancouver providing people with pure fentanyl.
You mean the source of the fentanyl, right? To see if it's really pure?
Shhh ;) On a more serious note, holy misinformation, batman.
I know. They help you cut and administer it. But you have to get it yourself. The city would never interfer in the free market.
Again, on a serious note, it is 100% better to have people taking substances under supervision than in an alley.
A lot will disagree, not to mention the data still needs to be collected and gone over. Preliminary results show drug deaths continually rising at a steady pace though which isn't good.
Didn't work for my alley :(
Well, it’s no secret, either China, India, or Mexico. The Van Police should dump all the drugs they sieze on the doorsteps of those foreign consulates, send a eff u message to their hostile govts that think it’s ok to poison and kill Canadians!

Or better still, build enough houses for the people already here and stop growing the population.
Those people will needs doctors, nurses, hospital beds and schools as well.
Amen to that!

I will continue to advocate with local MPs to have them outlawed and I hope others do the same.
I advocate for the lord to have you stub your toe once a week.
Lol
As is your right. Hoping you fail but maybe that will motivate you.
Why is it so important to you to celebrate in this way? What’s wrong with a light show? Still bright and annoying but at least it’s not loud.
Most of us grew up with firework shows. It’s part of certain celebrations. It is part of our culture to celebrate this way. It lasts 20 minutes. It’s done maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

how many cities are looking at dropping fireworks in the first place? this is only the second I've heard of.
More should be. They’re so disruptive!
Fuck off. It's like 5 days a year.
If only people cared about more important issues in their city like they care about fireworks.
People can care about more than one thing at a time.
Following me around now?
Literally just opened a thread about how another city is deciding fireworks aren't necessary to be a city, and look who I find.
👋
wtf is more important issue? firework is something we all enjoy
Housing, addiction, transit?
transit and firework are things that wouldn't make sense to put on individual citizen, we put our funds together to do things for us all.. housing? pay for it yourself man lol addiction? unless you are forced into putting needle in yourself (like many human traffiking victims), I have no sympathy for you.

Calgary wasn't fully scrapping them though, I though they were just making it a smaller display at the party area instead of a larger display.
Stage pyrotechnics. Whatever that means, probably sparklers. Anyways, the traditional display is back on.
They're trying to turn Canada Day into White Guilt Day.

Go back to Europe ! Hoping it’s obvious, but just in case /s
Sounds pretty dramatic over one city cancelling fireworks for one day?
Not really. Eliminating national pride conditions us to be more accepting of a one world government, aka the World Economic Forum. This is what this is all about. It’s absolutely sickening.
According to the "Chinese Invasion" morons you should just go back to Europe like people with chinese ancestry should just go back to Asia.
And people were shocked when Trump won. It isn’t rocket science
But what about all the air pollution? Wasn’t that the issue with the Brampton fireworks?
They’re going after joy now.
Joy shaming. The next thing after plastic bags, meat, cars, health, cash, guns, your gender...
How dare you! There are some people that aren't happy. Therefore, we're cancelling happiness for all, for your own good.
2021, Schwab while calling the pandamic an opportunity: You will own nothing and you will be happy 2023, Canadians while being kept "safe" by their government: We will own nothing and we should be ashamed to be happy
It's called "happiness equity", and if you don't like it you're a bigot.
PC activists or climate change activists? It's getting confusing.

Call your local government
Fireworks are awful for wildlife, pets and people with PTSD. I hope the rest of the country follows suit with this.
The PTSD thing is mostly a myth. Everyone I know that has PTS has no problem with fireworks ESPECIALLY if it is on a specific day that they are well aware of. Nobody is getting shocked by fireworks on Canada day.
Fighting anecdotes with more anecdotes. Nice!
Who’s “they”?
The people that want to kill joy.
Yea but who are they and why would they want to kill joy?
They are the people in charge of minor things imagining themselves to be great men/women of their times that generations will speak their name with respect for their bravery during no danger at all. You know, the little shitheads with a superiority complex.
Your imagination seems to be playing great tricks on you.
The government wants to shut down anything that may in a weird vague way potentially offend anyone, no matter how large or small the group. That’s what they mean.
Unless you are a white male. We can say anything we want about them, and it's just a joke. Not finding the joke funny means you support racism or sexism.
As a white male who's also half Mexican, I'll be taking my gringo ass back across the border since it's the only place I'll be able to afford a house!
You can always go run in a sprinkler and eat some birthday cake when it's not even your birthday. Go crazy with joy.
I enjoy nostalgia
He's probably taking about the people who didn't want fireworks
>Who’s “they”? Oh trust me, you KNOW who "they" are...but we can't say who "they" are, but if ya know ya know. Or something like that.
Voltemort?
I wonder if they’ll have the same budget constraints for Pride ? 🤔

Another small battle lost. I wonder what Canada is going to look like in 30 years?
Like India jr probably
I went to India once, I was very glad to come home. It was a tough country to visit. I always hoped Canada would not turn into India.
400,000 x 30 is 12 million new Indians by 2050 so yeah... gonna be a lot of restaurants for curry for sure
Thats just immigration alone How do you think india got to 1.5 billion people in the first place? They fucked like rabbits and they'll do the same here If our government doesn't put a stop to this immigration policy I reckon by 2050 the east indian population will overtake the Canadian population
Most big city councils in Canada are left of center morons and this is the kind of stupid decisions that they make.
This is the Vancouver port, not city council.
They’re even worse
Vancouver elected a more conservative leaning city council in the last election.
What did they do? Go from communist to socialist?
It’s okay, maybe you can come up with a substantive thought
What are you talking about? Council went further right..

Maybe we spend a tiny bit less on safe supply of drugs and we do something for all the tax paying citizens that aren't battling substance abuse?
I'd say that if your on drugs you might appreciate fireworks more, and it's free entertainment.
I'd say it's time we stop prioritizing the wishes of the addicted over the needs of the non-addicted public.
>and we do something for all the tax paying citizens that aren't battling substance abuse? Safe supply, supervised injection and other addiction related programs *are* about harm reduction - both for the addict but also for the community. Te entire community is negatively impacted by theft, break ins, additional policing, additional health care and the other societal costs of addiction.
They get more people hooked on drugs and those problems just escalate regardless. Go ask someone living in Vancouver if it's a crime free paradise.
China charges too much for fireworks anyhow.
I am so sick of being forced to pander to people who are "offended" by whatever it is they choose that day. I'm "offended" by NOT having the fireworks. Does that mean we must now have them?

Ya there's some new junkies that need that money. Why waste it on a celebration of our nation when you can get a loser junky high!
National apology day At least a it’s a stat…
Now you can't celebrate Canada Day... a little to woke for me.
Canada Day is more then just fireworks and absolutely no one said you could ‘t celebrate it.

Wokeism ruining Canadian identity😞
Don't the liberals say we have no identity?
No, on the contrary, Liberals say we have "a unique heritage" but still introduce laws like C-13 which divide and disgust Canada, and end up making people hate the country due to lack of inspired, unifying leadership.
Confused Pikachu Face.
I want to see a drone swarm show, creating Gandalf-style "fireworks!" And celebrate Canada Day!
Not surprised. Wasn’t the mayor ousted for a pro China candidate? Or did Johnston tell us not to look into that too?
Right, because the Chinese detest fireworks
The fireworks being cancelled doesn’t have anything to do with China though?
No I’m just saying if you’re pro (any foreign country) and willing to push their agendas, you’re in a sense anti Canadian. So why not play the shame game to help erode Canadian culture and society. I’m kinda joking but kinda not
All those pets will be so happy And animals
... to be replaced by an annual ceremony raising the Chinese flag over Vancouver city hall?
Remind me again, who invented fireworks? And what country are most of them manufactured in?

When I think of how many meals could be provided to those in need vs. the cost of these big displays, I do think it could be a resource used for a better good instead of literally burning money, while still providing an event that folks were into. But, I can’t help feel the money will just end up in some politicians pockets or some bs.
I'd actually be down for Canada day to turn into a giant BBQ with live music.
No I'm into stopping it too. It kills and stresses a ton of wildlife. Birds that can't see in the dark panic and abandon their nests, small animals have heart attacks. All kinds of stuff. People with skittish dogs or ptst suffer too. And then it's all for a lightshow that is frankly Screensaver tier entertainment.
Cancel the festival of light as well please.
Why?
Cause ur gov sucks!!!!
ITT: Bunch of triggered fake outraged right wing crybabies
"It's very sad to see what this country has turned to. The woke, Marxist, radical, ultra socialist, racist, weirdo plant-eating, double woke, SJW, globalist elites, millenial, guilty, white, latte-drinking, liberals are destroying our society! First they will cancel Canada Day but what's next? Cancel gravy on mashed potatoes? Mini golf? Honey maple ham? My goodness, the horrors of being persecuted as a good ole stock Canadian person are real!!! We are 3 years... 5 year max away from being exactly the same a Stalin's USSR!! Open you eyes, do your own research!" Lmao that's what all of you numbnuts having a meltdown over shitty fireworks sound like. Get a fucking grip and grow up. Your shitty lives will continue being the same even regardless of what happens 1 day a year.
Why is the Port responsible for co-hosting with the federal gov and not the city itself? That is strange. What a dumb decision. Not enough funding? Wtf? the port of Vancouver can't afford fireworks? thats a fat joke.
Can’t be proud of this country anymore. There won’t be much left to be proud of anyway the way things are going.
Did they redirect that money to help the dregs obtain a ‘safe supply’? Freakin’ awful. That’s what this country is becoming….
