Looks like racism is still alive and well down there. Not so much up here; if we could only stop the import (illegal) of handguns, things would calm down a lot...

My first stop, when I drove across Canada in 2006, was Vancouver. I stayed in Surrey, just off King George Blvd. I remember driving around and seeing a police station that reminded me of a slightly less extreme version of what my girlfriend and I saw in a Catholic neighborhood in Belfast, Northern Ireland while on vacation. I asked my innkeeper about it. He said such an edifice was necessary for two reasons (he didn't emphasize one greater than the other, he just stated the two reasons) : 1. Illegal import of handguns 2. Illicit drug activity.
