Vancouver island just looks like just an absolutely breath taking place

[@canadaauroraborealis3958]

What many people around the world do not know is that this coastline is exactly the same as this video for 1500 km north of this island all the way to Anchorage Alaska, with almost NO population the entire way. It is truly one of the last almost untouched wild places on earth, accessible by a few remote roads and summer ferries and cruise ships. Fortunately a huge oil shipping port wanted by Alberta province right in the middle of it at the town of Prince Rupert has been temporarily dis-allowed by Prime Minister Trudeau, but there is danger it may be revived if he loses power in the future (I am not much of a fan of Trudeau, but I supported him fully on this issue).

[@halwag]

Correction: 'Breathtaking'. If you split the word, it sounds like some 'breath' is occuring. ???

[@jaytaylor629]

Vancouver Island, and British Columbia as a whole, is one of the most beautiful places in Canada and the world. Absolutely stunning and I can't wait to go back there again! The Butchart Gardens are a must see! I'm not even a garden person but even I was in awe at the magnificence of the gardens. I have plenty of family on the island and hope to one day move their myself. Victoria is also one of the most relaxed and enjoyable cities I have been in. Love from Alberta!

The Native People's place names are not easy for many visitors to Canada, listen to a local. One thing about the Pacific Northwest Rain Forest that did not come out in this video, is that, it rains a lot ! A real lot, from October to May, and it rarely gets colder than 0 C at sea level.

VI deals only in souls so u wanna buy prop here learn the language first

[@canadaauroraborealis3958]

The language of course is English (and some Native People's languages they know) so what 18 Rabbit is referring to is the VanIsle lifestyle which is quaint and modest escapism for most people. The southeast part of the island around Victoria, Duncan and Nanaimo (nan-eye-mo) is populated with about a half million people along 100 km of shoreline, beyond that the people really thin out. Beware of some really, really, kooky people in and around Nanaimo, the only real blight on this otherwise wonderful place.

Van Isle has one of the lowest Covid rates in the world (last summer was 200 cases with 950,000 people). This has been mostly achieved by social distancing . I guess some people are more readily socially distanced from. P.S. Have you ever lived in Canada more than 200 miles from the US border?
