Not our common Vancouverites…promise

(Click on the title)

Apart from beavers and maple syrup, hockey constitutes a major part of Canadian culture. On Wednesday, June 15th, the Vancouver Canucks lost their chance to win the Stanley Cup-think of it as the FIFA Cup, to Boston Bruins. And it was a big deal as it is to have a Canadian team make it all the way to the SN857011finals, considering that the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was in 1993-Montreal Canadiens.Vancouver is a great city, it is where my heart wanted to settle when I first came to Canada :) I will make it there soon. Nevertheless, I do not understand the logic behind these riots. They are actually costing the government money to protect them and other individuals. How do these people rationalize breaking things that aren’t theirs?


Here are some pictures…
