another take[coupland]

Driving a couple hours north, playing nice with customs, and practicing our best western Canada accent just to find out what’s up-and-coming in Vancouver has always seemed like a whole lot of effort. Plus, every trip there always seems bound to end in some sort of west coast urban jealousy complex. After all, they have a SkyTrain and universal health care while we have a toy monorail and ongoing car tabs.

The point of this is to say that keeping up with the neighbors is getting a whole lot easier. The Metroblogging empire just got a little bit farther flung with the addition of Metroblogging Vancouver, the third Canadian in the family.

Be sure to drop by say hello. After all, we’re all part of the same Republic of Cascadia, right?
