Sheesh, people. The North Shore, Burnaby, Richmond Surrey and the Tri-cities are no less Vancouver than Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn are New York. Doesn't matter what residents of those people want to think. The names given now to these places are simple imaginary lines in the sand which can be redrawn at any given time.

Perhaps I'd hesitate to call Langley or Maple Ridge an actual part of Vancouver, as these places are a little more detached than the others.

Of course, this is coming from a person who feels places like Ottawa and Hull, and even Sumas and Abbotsford should be one city, and that the imaginary line people penciled in along the 49th parallel should be erased.

This whole drawing borders on maps is so childish.

One day, I'll see it happen. One day.
