The only downside is all the tourists in the summer. Luckily they tend to visit places that us locals rarely go.
I am curious to know (as Brooker and I are both from Seattle) how people in Vancouver view their neighbors in Washington--and more specifically Seattle.
I can't say that I really have any great stereotypes of Canadians--and all I've ever known of Canada was British Columbia--Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler. I don't think I ever heard "aboot" until South Park (the movie). I caught the occasional "eh", but not enough to fall into saying that all Canadians say it. I always think of Vancouver as a bigger and cooler Seattle. In many ways I feel I have more in comon with a Vancouverite than, say, a New Yorker.
But I'm sure there must be issues that come up between the two sides of the border that may not get the same attention in Seattle as they do in Vancouver...
Any thoughts?
