Expo '86 anniversary

Something's Happening Here!

What a time that was! The party of a lifetime. 172 sunny days of fun. 20 years ago. We had a different attitude then. We were so rightly proud of ourselves. We could be the best.
We had Premier Bennett at the helm, who believed British Columbians could do anything. He would never have considered selling BC Rail, that was OURS, there to develop the whole vast province! BC Hydro would never have been bypassed for foreign power projects. BC Ferries was our navy, run proudly by British Columbians, Bill Bennett would never have considered building ships anywhere but BC. He would never have allowed gambling in our BC Pavillion.
How things have changed. 'Something's happening here' has a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?
Try not to cry.

    Yes, Vancouver is very different than 20 years ago, we have lost our innocence as a city.Where Bennett loved B.C. Campbell hates all Canadians. We are all for sale in his book..Property can not be bought by most who were born here, only those coming from Asia and India.The gangs have made it not a safe place anymore. Dam you Campbell.....

    Get ready for the next wave, folks, the Olympics is going to bring them and they won't go home, all they'll do is shove the BC born right out of the province.
