enjoy   wait untill the tidal wave hits us?

Something like that wouldn't happen here.. We don't have 'that type of people' who go around after a disaster, terrorising the city and looting, stealing, raping, and basically pillaging.

Don't count on it !

Were you not here after the Stanley cup loss?

a wave or hurricane would not happen here but we do have the possibility of people getting raped and looting and all that other mayhem after all we are no different people are people and we do have gangs here in canada too. be thankful we live in a great country.

Think again. Starve a few people and bake them under the sun with a few dead bodies around, see how they'll act after a few days.

BTW I was referring to the gangs going around and looting and pillaging the city, taking advantage of the disaster. We had a little riot in Vancouver where people broke windows in stores. That's quite a bit different than going around and robbing every single house you see, shooting people who defend themselves, raping girls, etc. There is no law enforcement right now, so the gangs are taking over the city.

Most of the people causing the problems stayed there with the intention of taking over the city. They had their chance. As soon as the storm subsided, every gun was stolen from all the Wal-Marts. Now tell me, is that desperation? Or taking advantage of an opportunity?

Fear...

The people that stayed were not all planning to rob the town after the hurricane. Most were just innocent people that dont have cars and couldnt afford to evacuate

Umm I'm not sure why you think I said they are ALL looting and pillaging.. Sure, there are plenty of people like that. Probably the vast majority. But there were enough people who obviously planned on taking this opportunity to spread anarchy. I agree those people are the most victimized, by these gangs.

It all comes down to complete lack of planning, and no support at all from their government though.

[rerigger]

no one could plan for that .
and no other country could supply better faster relief efforts.
if a natural disaster of that magnitude hit canada we would be royally screwed

[lowlight]

and no other country could supply better faster relief efforts.

You are insane to think that. They had a WEEK to prepare, before it even hit! And it wasn't until a week AFTER it hit that any help arrived. Have you been paying attention to what's been going on?

[bigguy]

Same attitude we have, could never happen here!  Why could't the coastal area have a disaster?  With the weather systems changing etc.  Few years ago a small tornado touched down in Kelwona ripping huge trees out of the ground! No one thought that that would happen either! Are we ready for a big natural disaster??? (or are you in the lower mainland).

[BwiBwi]

Greater Vancouver geographic feature will not have tornado, hurricane, tidal wave.  The only geographic disasters that is possible to happen in Greater Vancouver are, hearthquake, heavy runoff + rain, may cause flood in lower parts. ie Ladner, Richmond. That's about it.
