Try growing up super poor there. I've been homeless there, there's loads of great people who just want to help you clean up your life and get off the street...annnnd there's people who see you and throw a few pennies at you and consider it their charitable contribution to society for the year, all while pinching their nose and stepping practically in the street to stay as far away from you while feeling good about themselves.

The wealthy people in b.c were what really disgusted me. The way they went about their wealthy lives, eating in super expensive restaurants while there's hungry homeless just outside that they ignore. Kinda reminded me of India.

I went to Victoria and I was dismayed at the homeless/addiction issue, and was shocked at how nobody in the fancy restaurants seem to give a shit
