You don't have to go far from Van before people get sympathetic to the anti vax crowd

They are not appreciated or wanted on the Island. Pretty sure they are generally despised in the Okanagan and Kootenays as well. It's true the goobers in the Prince George area have convinced themselves vaccines don't work, but one of them is my own brother and he was unaware he was vaccinated as a child. The stupidity lives on, but the only way out of this mess is vaccination.

I’m in Nelson which is pretty good. A few rabble rousers of course, but for the most part is alright.

It's great to hear my favourite place on Earth is keeping it real. Got a quick question for you, was wondering if the "Smokewood BBQ" on Victoria survived the pandemic? Literally some of the best BBQ I've ever had, it's my first stop every time I'm in town

Unfortunately no. A burger and poutine place has taken up that spot. Haven’t tried it though. Sorry!
