Wow, Mel. Relax about Vancouver. I don't get all the hate you have on for it
. I hate the team (i.e. the Canucks) but I really enjoyed the city. I would move back there in a heartbeat.

How much money is a bus ticket from Vancouver to the prairies? Why don't these people use a couple weeks panhandling to better their lives instead of joining in some lobbying efforts to an Olympic games that has already been vastly committed to?

Mr. Coffee...
This is what they are going to have to use, in BC, to buy a bus or plane ticket to Alberta. I flew a lot inbtwn BC and Alta, and a ticket will run you approx. 90 to 130 one way.

So if we take Category A 1 person, for example, I guess they can use the $185 they get in a month to buy that ticket
. Assuming that they are living in a place for only $325 in rent. Food is also pretty over rated
.
