    1:04 - It gets a bit more complicated
    2:40 - What does local government do?
    4:16 - How to vote!
    The local elections are this Saturday and so I've partnered with CityHive to ask the important questions. What is local government? Why should you care? And what is the meaning of life?

    Great to learn more about Vancouver, I wish I was back there again somehow, am in Prince George for work now. PS The greatest character in this video is the cat. No offense :)
    Great content! Saw your channel by chance, glad the algorithm somehow showed this channel. Hope to see more!

    What if I live at UBC and can only vote for the school board, would it even be worth voting if I am not affected by the school board's decisions?

    Wait, but in Vancouver, you can vote if you've lived in British Columbia for 6+ months, and have lived in the City of Vancouver for 30+ days!

    666 likes when I click on the video. I removed the evil with my like. Jokes aside this channel is entertaining and informative. You are talking about Vancouver which is rare, as it isn't talked about much compared to other cities. So you have a good purpose here.

    Your audio levels are a little low by the way. might wanna cross reference with some larger youtube channels to see what your audio levels should be. Great stuff btw.

    what if vancity became a megacity and amalgamate?

    • @kdids
      @kdids 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ive often thought about that. Kida like Toronto did but on a larger scale. Winnipeg did that in the 70s but it was obviously on a smaller scale. Kinda like if Poco, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, Belcara and Pitt Meadows merged and its been beneficial. Not as much squabbling. Minneaplois is I think even worse than Van with so many small counties/cities... I don't know how they get anything done.

    Whoaaaaa you felt it was necessary to highlight Tsawwassen First Nation as it's own distinct municipality, yet you completely neglected Squamish, Tseil-Waututh, and Musqueam First Nations?? Not impressed.
    You should be grateful that you are still allowed to live on our unceded lands... The Right of Conquest is an obsolete concept of property law and technically you're all illegally squatting on our land, the least you could do is get your research right and acknowledge this reality.
