Canada Day cancelled again. A minute of silence for the vets on remembrance day. A month for the LGBTQ+. Morality and unity should be our strength, not division and degeneration.
Canadian port authorities are not funded by the Canadian government, they are self-sufficient entities. If you are going to be a whiner, whine for the correct reasons.
They've already received over 9 million dollars of tax payers $... Meanwhile our Health Care System continues to crumble. Deep down there is quite a disdain for Canadians it seems...
With how much taxes Vancouver reaps from its inhabitants, couldn’t they just pay for it? Or does it all go to perpetuating homelessness and drug addiction by following the failed California model?
@@kimchipig Technically, economics are part of politics so it sort of is. What you choose to spend your money on as a government is politically motivated generally to some degree.
@@kimchipig The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is a federal government agency. They can't afford $200, 000? I guess since Canada Day isn't so important to them, why should they care if it's important to anyone else. Sociopathy: Incapable of empathy for society.
Awesome, you guys should also figure out who the politicians were who instigated that nonsense and vote them out since they so openly hate our Country and culture
@@shanespence6128 I'd say it's more apathy than snowflakes in Vancouver. Also, neighborhoods with no idea of Canadian history other than what has been spewed out the last few years.
I said if we let them cancel it once theyll do their best to cancel it all together. Give them an inch they'll take 10 miles, give them two weeks theyll take 2 years.
They have already cancelled it altogether according to this news segment. We already let them cancel it once in 2019... and again in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Sad.
@@typoprone Except during the pandemic it actually made sense to discourage crowd formation. Now that we've effectively ceased all large-scale preventative measures, there's no public health reason not to do it. And while $200 000 is not super cheap, it's not a massive expense by the standards of the budget of a city like Vancouver. The operating budget of Vancouver is $1.7 billion. $200 000 is 0.00012 of that or 0.012% of the budget. That's not massive by any scale. This would be equivalent to a $100 000 family income cutting the only Christmas presents worth $12 because "you know, hardship".
I am not enraged by the Port Authority's decision or anything, but I see this as a little shortsighted. Canada Day is one of the few things that bring Canadians together in what if an increasingly divided country. I think the fireworks are an important part of what brings Canadians to Canada Day celebrations.
“One of the few things that bring Canadians together…” - It makes sense once you realize that the plan is to tear things apart. The cancellation of traditions and celebrations, the removal of history from passports, the tearing down of statues, and so on, can all be coincidences, true, but it certainly is an interesting coincidence that all of the myriad policy changes and actions support only one side of the culture war.

This is what you're going to stand up and fight for.. pathetic, our PM is literal criminal, and you care about fireworks!

Girl nobody give a frack qbout no stupid foreworks especially Toronto's. Go to Niagara if you want fireworks. The inconsideration of the Indigenous communities is speaking loudly. Traditions, for who lady?
How about fire 2 of the unless-overpaid people that work at the city and then you'll be able to afford the fireworks. Rising costs is a BS excuse.... especially as property taxes have risen in equal or greater proportion.
More importantly, it's because that cost is actually pretty tiny for a city the size of Vancouver. It's equivalent to canceling a $12 present for a child for a regular family. You're not really cost-cutting. Your real costs are much, much larger and unrelated.
Way to go Vancouver; you have now equaled Calgary in the failure to promote and utilize the fine art of people having fun, celebrating living in Canada, community spirit and friendship.

Very interesting that VCR states they have "limited resources" for fireworks but will they cancel all the other parades, etc. scheduled for the summer? Just asking for a friend.
The $200k price tag is nothing, just ask some of the billionaires to donate that much in return for some publicity, I'm sure it will be funded overnight. You can probably just raise taxes for the top 1% most expensive properties in the city by 0.1% (based on back-of-envelope estimate, assuming those assets are valued at around 200 million)
Right! You can’t even get a flat for that in Vancouver. The mountains and sea are beautiful but no fun whatsoever. Its a police state when it comes to having a beer on the beach but pop down East Hastings and they’re dishing out “legal” drugs 🤷♀️
Instead of the City of Vancouver paying for settlements for police misconducts, how about the police officers themselves pay for the their own misconducts. That way the city can pay for various much needed services, including fireworks. // The Courier published a story in December 2010 that revealed the City of Vancouver paid out almost $9 million in the past decade to people who sued the city for a variety of incidents, including injuries suffered during arrests by police. //
So they didn’t need to spend money on fireworks for 3 years running. What happened to the money saved? Why don’t they offset the higher costs with the money saved in those 3 years? Did the port spend it on corporate bonuses?
That is actually an excellent point. Technically, having saved ~$800 000 (or a bit less) from not having it four years in a row ought to mean there's a surplus in the fireworks budget currently.
So, celebrate, who is holding you back ?!? Did you put a diaper on your head and locked yourself into the house when the government told you, or did you celebrate ?!? For many years Benson & Hedges paid for these side-shows, but now we don't like cigarette money (or beer money), so do your own fire-works. What is Canada anyway ? Isn't Vancouver part of China ? why should the Chinese celebrate Ottawa day ?!?

The worst part about this news is not being shocked that this happened in Vancouver and under Trudeau who tried rewriting history in the Canadian Passports
@@jenkem4464 Their point might be prejudiced but it's not wrong in terms of Canada being the most inclusive holiday of the year. It literally applies to everyone. It's more universal than Christmas or New Year's. The only groups I can think of that have any significant issue with it is some First Nations groups who, after 150 years, are still a bit reluctant to celebrate Canada's existence due to their history with the Canadian government. Which is fair, of course, but it's statistically a small portion of the total population. So, of the 38 million or so Canadians, Canada Day is a positive to ~37.5 million. Even Christmas doesn't have that kind of acceptance as there are more than 500k people who don't like it because it's "too commercial" or "too Christian", either way.
@@jaydoe5654 I am not saying that. What I mean it brings all sorts of people together to something that is amazing and a show of lights and colours and reminds us to be thankful for where we live. That's all. We are not splashy in your face nation but it sure is nice to see fireworks on Canada Day
One of the wealthiest cities in North America- with the highest value of real estate and the highest number of exotic Hypercars per capita…. And they can’t “afford” Canada Day celebrations
@LucaThat You celebrate your birthday with a party up until you're dead. This is the reason statutes are being canceled and our history is being smeared as racist. Trudeau and his cabinet of WEF gobalists are steering the nation ship into the rocks. In fact, most Western governments are poised to hand over sovereign control of individual freedoms to the WHO at the next "emergency." It's a planned demolition.
pre-plandemic the world was a lot better. Seems the plandemic only existed for the agenda of further pushing the ill's wills on to the normal communities. Time to start fighting back indeed. They are bullies, time for the suffering part of the relationship.
Know the system loves breeding hatred amongst all people so we stay divided and weaker without all Nationalites banning together Time to kiss JT goodbye 😘
200000 dollars savings seem like a good enough reason to me. tax money can be going to a lot better places than a firework show that probably last 10 mins
To those of you that will be buying and lighting your own fireworks this year, double up. Let these dictators know you won't let them end your traditions.
@@dyingfromthelying Woah, woah. Shouldn't you be out getting quad boosted?! What are you doing using the internet without your 4th booster!??!!? You should be ashamed. Make sure you write a letter of apology to dear leader Trudeau begging for forgiveness. Stay safe! Wear your mask :)
I went to Vancouver a couple years ago in spring and almost no one smiled. Everyone either had a frown on their face or looked like they were dying inside. The people in Victoria looked a lot happier. It can't just be me, something is rotten in Vancouver.
people who don't live here own all the land and redevelop it endlessly so the moment you find a coffe shop you like it gets bulldozed to make a skyscraper
If they cancel fireworks displays, more individual citizens will light them. That will spell bad news in terms of our forest fire situation, and will undoubtedly cause several injuries.
Thats the main reason why we started hosting them to begin with, people will do it anyways and will do things in an unsafe manner generally; from my own experiences and from past situations from people doing stupid stuff. When we give them a safe and prepared location for them then damages are mitigated and people play. Vancouver wants to burn down and will want us to pay the insurance afterwards.
The pendulum seems to be swinging back against the woke nonsense as can be seen with consumers sending a message to Bud Lite. It's time for Canadians to vote all wokesters out of government.
I'll admit $200k sounds like a lot of money for fire works, but come on, for a thriving city like Vancouver. They could surely ask for corporate sponsors to help fund it.

I love fireworks display. As a Canadian of asian descent. Fireworks in our culture help scared away evil spirits and bring good luck. Canada Day should have fireworks and bring good luck to our country
Looks like someone didn't budget for it this year thinking that social restrictions would still be in place. Honestly though 200 grand is a fair chunk of change and maybe the Port Authority was tired of having to budget it in despite not getting any increase for operations despite rising costs. Maybe this is their way of saying to the mayor that the city should buck up a 100 grand from somewhere else so that it's not soley on the PA. Either way it's a shame and I hope they can work it out.
heres an idea, put a tax on all homes owned by people who dont live in canada, who own homes in VANCOUVER. Its the least they can do since tthey drive up home prices for people IN CANADA WHO WERE BORN AND BREAD HERE... but letts be honest, the goverment will take the tax and lose it probably. SHAME VANCOUVER!
The only annoying part of all this is that I gave CTV click bucks just to put a comment on the subject. Keep it up everyone, show the support for common sense, let these media organizations know that we the people do not want this insanity and that all politicians (Federal, Provincial and local) know that this BS has to end and get back to standard Canadian lifestyle. No one wants to lose everything we love about Canada for these childish and poorly thought out dreams. Fools all of them

Glad to see that No Fun Vancouver is still living up to its name. Next up - No cars..... cars are too noisy - we don't want cars. How many events they've cancelled over the 18 years I lived there. Moved away 16 years ago and I have no regrets. Vancouver is NOT a fun city. It's quite lame.
@@lozpro11 To be clear, Vancouver can totally afford it as it has a budget of $1.7 billion. This size of expense is smaller than the electric bill for a metropolitan city.
I dont think they realize the importance of them. There should not be a $ amount that stops a Canadian celebrating their country. There's the beauty, the comradery, the joy etc and to say "we just can't afford it" is a really disgusting eye opener to their agenda, because I don't even need to google anything to guarantee the money is spent elsewhere on the most ridiculously useless ploy in a separate area.
@@user-fy7ru4ii1i Do you live within 1 km of the fireworks display? Also, they go off before midnight so even if you have to work at 7am, you'll get plenty of sleep even if you live right next to the fireworks. (Not to mention there are these new-fangled inventions called earplugs.) And canceling the city's display will not stop a lot of private fireworks from going off constantly which is MUCH more likely the ones you'd be concerned about.
Idc where your from, what history you have, it doesn't matter to me. We are all Canadians native or not. Born and raised here and this is as much as my nation as anyone else's. So for anyone that thinks not celebrating your nations pride is okay, I think you shouldn't be here. My personal opinion, no hate.
In the spirit of selfishness, ill will, stoopidity, fear of offending anyone, including ones' pet hamster and the general need to further isolate families, and the community, Christmas is also permanently cancelled. Thank God we're saving a few bucks!
Cutting Canadians love of nation has been job one of Canada hating Trudeau. The trickle down effect is everywhere other Canada haters have authority to discontinue long standing unifying and loved Canadian traditions. Which is far far far too many places across the country.
OMG enough of the sensitivity, we took this land from the indians over 150 years ago! if you are so sensitive to them why don't y'all just given them back their land and return to Europe. How much longer are you going to fail at trying to make it up to them!
Yay Vancouver! Canada can't continue these massive gatherings if we don't deserve them. Citizens don't care enough about celebrating in a civil manner without requiring too much of Police, while those who attend can't even defend themselves and their families against the softest of looters by now. It's not a party. It's a tragedy.
I just would like to know how much money Vancouver will spend in August when they have the Pride Parade for 2 days now, I am sure it will be way more than for the fireworks show, but I guess City Hall has it's priorities.
@@titusmccarthy Care to elaborate? Attempting to cancel Canada Day fire works because of perceived racism is text book modern day wokeism (attempting to see everything in life through the lens of skin pigmentation, genitalia, sexuality, ect.).
Typical self-centered humans. The enormous damage that it does to wildlife. Dogs run away never to be found. birds fly into buildings. Completely terrifying all wildlife. Ask anybody that has horses, cows, dogs, any pets.. But aren't they soooo beautiful.😢
There are so many uninformed comments here, smh. Do some research on fireworks people before you write stupid things insinuating there's a plot against Canada/Canadians/your freedumbs if there are no fireworks. 🙄😖 Fireworks are terrible for the environment, they are dangerous, and they are terrifying for wild and domestic animals, including your dogs and cats. Fireworks WILL eventually be outlawed, the sooner the better!
Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Canadians learn, recognize and reflect upon the history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, the trauma experienced by many, and the hope for a healthy future. But, what is there to learn? Who were the people in charge of these schools, were the abusers ever held accountable? What steps are currently being taken to fix broken homes as a result? Not many Canadians were a part of the Catholic Church during this time nor are the average Canadians an influence on the government. Seems more like divisionary moves to take away the traditional events, whose purpose was to bring people together, of those who had no part of past events. Lets not forget history, nor foster corruption that leads to fat pockets at the expense of others.
You cant blame the Church for your occupation. No one forced you to live on stolen Native land. Unless you are a Child you are participating in genocide. The destruction of Indiginious lands and cultures. Preventing us from living on our own property.
The Port Authority could have made First Nations people a visible part of the celebrations. In my view the celebration is of Canada and of being Canadian, and not specifically about becoming an official country on a particular day.
@@susanstewart1402 One of the reasons for the cancelation given in the video was that celebrating Canada Day somehow ignores the fact that the first Canadians were the Indians, and that Canada didn't start on July 1st 150 years ago.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 Yeah thats all ballocks. Canada existed upon it's founding. Most natives have zero to do with it beyond doing their best to prevent it and ultimately being semi welcome to integrate.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 To be clear, Canada as a political entity did. Just not the land. Most First Nations I've heard who are opposed to (or more accurately, don't celebrate) Canada Day aren't opposed for it being less inclusive, it's a celebration of a political entity they've been at odds with for over a century. Including them isn't what they want from my understanding until the other issues (see that "over a century" part earlier in this comment) are dealt with. In other words, when Canada (the political entity) actually reconciles, First Nations might be willing to be a part of that celebration but not so much before.

Toronto did the same thing!!!!!! These mayor's are up to something!!!!! This is only the beginning!!!!!! There is going to be a big s#$t show!!!!
10 of 14 Calgary City Councilors have stood up to Calgary's leftist Mayor and said there will be Canada day fireworks>
I think it was actually not even the mayor, some stupid commission.
it was a memo put out
Some idiots at city hall made the decision. Why are these marxist morons given this level of decision making power?!
The worst part about this news is not being shocked that this happened in Vancouver and under Trudeau who tried rewriting history in the Canadian Passports
Let's go to Ottawa and watch a squirrel and a nut light up in front of our parliment buildings. Wouldn't that be sooo exciting😅😅😅
Wait when did TD take over the municipal govt?!?
They better cancel Gay Pride Parade…if Canada Day, is not inclusive, 🙄 then I don’t know what is.😊
and dahliwal parade, chiiny parade etc.
Cancel " Cancel Woke culture"😂
OP
@@jenkem4464 Their point might be prejudiced but it's not wrong in terms of Canada being the most inclusive holiday of the year. It literally applies to everyone. It's more universal than Christmas or New Year's. The only groups I can think of that have any significant issue with it is some First Nations groups who, after 150 years, are still a bit reluctant to celebrate Canada's existence due to their history with the Canadian government. Which is fair, of course, but it's statistically a small portion of the total population. So, of the 38 million or so Canadians, Canada Day is a positive to ~37.5 million. Even Christmas doesn't have that kind of acceptance as there are more than 500k people who don't like it because it's "too commercial" or "too Christian", either way.
@@jenkem4464 Pride = Mentally Ill
Yeah. Destroy the pride that Canadians have left for their country. Good idea.
That's the goal, bit by bit they will beat it out of every last one of us.
Unfortunately it's now called "Conquer and Divide'. Just like what our PM has been doing for the past few years.
Nationalism is a mental disorder.
No pride in Genocide.
Becausw there's nothing like Canadian pride from a event created in China and popularized by America
This is shameful. We need to celebrate our country.
Celebrate what? Our country is a joke. And our fearless leaders are morons!
We don't need the gov to ALLOW US celebrate our great citizens!
@@jaydoe5654 I am not saying that. What I mean it brings all sorts of people together to something that is amazing and a show of lights and colours and reminds us to be thankful for where we live. That's all. We are not splashy in your face nation but it sure is nice to see fireworks on Canada Day
Who needs to celebrate Canada in a post-national state according to Trudeau.
Too many immigrants
One of the wealthiest cities in North America- with the highest value of real estate and the highest number of exotic Hypercars per capita…. And they can’t “afford” Canada Day celebrations
They're worried about the cost of fireworks? What's the price tag of losing your home country?
not against canada day fireworks but how do they equate to losing our country?
@LucaThat
You celebrate your birthday with a party up until you're dead. This is the reason statutes are being canceled and our history is being smeared as racist. Trudeau and his cabinet of WEF gobalists are steering the nation ship into the rocks. In fact, most Western governments are poised to hand over sovereign control of individual freedoms to the WHO at the next "emergency." It's a planned demolition.
More woke insanity
No more Canada day but we get all these nonsense days/months attached to specific groups. Whatever happened to promoting cohesion?
Many happy memories of watching Vancouver fireworks. I was living in the best of times and did not realize it at the time.
pre-plandemic the world was a lot better. Seems the plandemic only existed for the agenda of further pushing the ill's wills on to the normal communities. Time to start fighting back indeed. They are bullies, time for the suffering part of the relationship.
It seems that things never get better, only worse. I have really noticed this over the years.
i feel like they could have just said it was for public safety with the recent wildfires and people would have taken it a lot better
Know the system loves breeding hatred amongst all people so we stay divided and weaker without all Nationalites banning together
Time to kiss JT goodbye 😘
This seems awfully WOKE to me, pathetic. What an embarrassment to a supposed "cosmopolitan" city.
You never have to start a sentence using the words, "I feel like". Seriously, try it. It works. Read your post without the first 3 words.
200000 dollars savings seem like a good enough reason to me. tax money can be going to a lot better places than a firework show that probably last 10 mins
You're encouraging them that they come up with a better lie?

Lol had to cut costs to give the politicians a raise
So Vancouver isn't Canadian anymore.. good to know
No money for Canada day, lots of money for homosexual day, only in Vancouver.
as it should be!
If they cancel fireworks displays, more individual citizens will light them. That will spell bad news in terms of our forest fire situation, and will undoubtedly cause several injuries.
Thats the main reason why we started hosting them to begin with, people will do it anyways and will do things in an unsafe manner generally; from my own experiences and from past situations from people doing stupid stuff. When we give them a safe and prepared location for them then damages are mitigated and people play.
Vancouver wants to burn down and will want us to pay the insurance afterwards.
100% agree private fireworks could actually be more costly in terms of potential damages.
Kind of a stretch to thing forest fires are starting as a result of inner city firework usage
@@robbarber7253 it would be, which is why that’s not what I’m saying

The no fun city never disappoints!
Toronto and Calgary did same then reversed - make some noise Vancouver 💥🎉🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The pendulum seems to be swinging back against the woke nonsense as can be seen with consumers sending a message to Bud Lite.
It's time for Canadians to vote all wokesters out of government.
They do this every year. EVERY YEAR. And with the same excuses. Lame, lame lamecouver. Then they whine about the no fun city moniker.
Yet Chinese new year is well taken care of by firecrackers and the like, no fun Vancouver is on the map again.....
Identity politics stripping the fun out of everything it touches. Again.
A small but very vocal and highly organized minority are calling the shots with respect to not celebrating Canada.
Politicians are kowtowing to them.
I expect it was politically motivated too. Too bad to see Canada too ashamed to celebrate its birthday.
I'll admit $200k sounds like a lot of money for fire works, but come on, for a thriving city like Vancouver. They could surely ask for corporate sponsors to help fund it.
They don't even need that - just allocate it as part of the regular budget. Vancouver's budget is $1.7 billion.
Instead of the City of Vancouver paying for settlements for police misconduct, how about the police officers themselves pay for the their own misconducts. That way the city can pay for various much needed services, including fireworks.
// The Courier published a story in December 2010 that revealed the City of Vancouver paid out almost $9 million in the past decade to people who sued the city for a variety of incidents, including injuries suffered during arrests by police. //
They also want to rename Canada Day - Canada Together. Canada has never been more divided thanks to the Liberal regime.
Canada Together we are not.
Nothing brings canadians closer together than canceling events and changing names to make us feel bad for things we didn't do.
It's the conservatives that want to devide Canada look at separatism in alberta look at where reform party came from to take over the conservative party no fan of the liberals but its definatley the conservatives deviding the country at American behest as reform party was imported from Oklahoma in the beginning by America based evangelical churches .Preston manning being the point man
Canada Together is a silly phrase (what are we? Neanderthals? Who speaks that way?) as it's not grammatically correct. You could at least call it Canadians Get Together.
@@joesutherland225 have you heard of Quebec? One of the provinces? Out east somewhere? I seem to remember there was something about Quebec and separation, but I must be getting them confused with Preston manning.
Where did you hear this? It sounds ridiculous enough that it could be true, but c’mon, even Ottawa isn’t that dumb. Are they?
I love fireworks display. As a Canadian of asian descent. Fireworks in our culture help scared away evil spirits and bring good luck.
Canada Day should have fireworks and bring good luck to our country
The real reason is because not enough people have their 13th booster shot. Coronavirus is still serious stuff, wear your gas mask. 🎉
Canada has been canceled in favor of Pride month.
There is pride to be found in being who you are despite gay bashing bigots.
There is no pride in being a genocidal invader from Europe.

@@rulinghabs stop supporting dictators. WE PAY FOR HIS VACATION. id rather my tax dollar go into celebration an important holiday.
Vancouver port authority is not federally funded, they fund themselves.
Looks like someone didn't budget for it this year thinking that social restrictions would still be in place. Honestly though 200 grand is a fair chunk of change and maybe the Port Authority was tired of having to budget it in despite not getting any increase for operations despite rising costs. Maybe this is their way of saying to the mayor that the city should buck up a 100 grand from somewhere else so that it's not soley on the PA. Either way it's a shame and I hope they can work it out.
heres an idea, put a tax on all homes owned by people who dont live in canada, who own homes in VANCOUVER. Its the least they can do since tthey drive up home prices for people IN CANADA WHO WERE BORN AND BREAD HERE... but letts be honest, the goverment will take the tax and lose it probably.
SHAME VANCOUVER!
The only annoying part of all this is that I gave CTV click bucks just to put a comment on the subject. Keep it up everyone, show the support for common sense, let these media organizations know that we the people do not want this insanity and that all politicians (Federal, Provincial and local) know that this BS has to end and get back to standard Canadian lifestyle. No one wants to lose everything we love about Canada for these childish and poorly thought out dreams. Fools all of them
Because its chinada thanks trudeau
That’s some stupid strange anti Canadian behaviour, cancelling a celebration that makes so many so happy.

Why is it that Canada cannot afford Fireworks, but private fireworks can be seen all around the world. Fireworks celebrate life.
from what was said on the video it wasn't just fireworks. they mentioned fencing and porta potties
Glad to see that No Fun Vancouver is still living up to its name. Next up - No cars..... cars are too noisy - we don't want cars. How many events they've cancelled over the 18 years I lived there. Moved away 16 years ago and I have no regrets. Vancouver is NOT a fun city. It's quite lame.
A price tag of 200,000 dollars and they can't afford that? Vancouver can't afford that? Sheesh!
Really!?! Shit even in saskatoon we spent 1.1 billion on art museum.
@@lozpro11 To be clear, Vancouver can totally afford it as it has a budget of $1.7 billion. This size of expense is smaller than the electric bill for a metropolitan city.
@MrBrock314 I'm being sarcastic, cuz 200,000 is not a very big number to be canceling fireworks over.
I dont think they realize the importance of them. There should not be a $ amount that stops a Canadian celebrating their country. There's the beauty, the comradery, the joy etc and to say "we just can't afford it" is a really disgusting eye opener to their agenda, because I don't even need to google anything to guarantee the money is spent elsewhere on the most ridiculously useless ploy in a separate area.
Cancel the mayor's pay check.
You can't take Canada Day away from us! I will be celebrating Canada's birthday on July 1st!
Give us fireworks… like god damn… enough of this
Fireworks sucks! Says people with small kids, pets, people who work early, veterans...
@@user-fy7ru4ii1i you should speak for yourself beta boy.
@@user-fy7ru4ii1i Do you live within 1 km of the fireworks display? Also, they go off before midnight so even if you have to work at 7am, you'll get plenty of sleep even if you live right next to the fireworks. (Not to mention there are these new-fangled inventions called earplugs.) And canceling the city's display will not stop a lot of private fireworks from going off constantly which is MUCH more likely the ones you'd be concerned about.
And yet they have the budget for celebration of lights...the hypocrisy is insane
Finally, AMAZING news
Good. That was a HUGE waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere!
200,000 is absolutely nothing for an individual if they are working in expensive city like vancouver 200,000 is toilet paper for a big corporation.
Idc where your from, what history you have, it doesn't matter to me. We are all Canadians native or not. Born and raised here and this is as much as my nation as anyone else's. So for anyone that thinks not celebrating your nations pride is okay, I think you shouldn't be here. My personal opinion, no hate.
In the spirit of selfishness, ill will, stoopidity, fear of offending anyone, including ones' pet hamster and the general need to further isolate families, and the community, Christmas is also permanently cancelled. Thank God we're saving a few bucks!
Can't even celebrate your own country... hahaha, that's rich.
No pride in Genocide.
Seems Canada Day celerations are going strong everywhere else??? Noone is stopping you from celebrating yourself 😂😂
Nationalism is a mental disorder.
Cutting Canadians love of nation has been job one of Canada hating Trudeau. The trickle down effect is everywhere other Canada haters have authority to discontinue long standing unifying and loved Canadian traditions.
Which is far far far too many places across the country.
OMG enough of the sensitivity, we took this land from the indians over 150 years ago! if you are so sensitive to them why don't y'all just given them back their land and return to Europe. How much longer are you going to fail at trying to make it up to them!
It was racist or something like that.
Yay Vancouver! Canada can't continue these massive gatherings if we don't deserve them. Citizens don't care enough about celebrating in a civil manner without requiring too much of Police, while those who attend can't even defend themselves and their families against the softest of looters by now. It's not a party. It's a tragedy.
Why can't people defend themselves?
You where a hall monitor in school...
I’m sick of all these free people walking around unleashed. Why can’t we get an adult to come and control us?
I just would like to know how much money Vancouver will spend in August when they have the Pride Parade for 2 days now, I am sure it will be way more than for the fireworks show, but I guess City Hall has it's priorities.

Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Canadians learn, recognize and reflect upon the history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, the trauma experienced by many, and the hope for a healthy future. But, what is there to learn? Who were the people in charge of these schools, were the abusers ever held accountable? What steps are currently being taken to fix broken homes as a result?
Not many Canadians were a part of the Catholic Church during this time nor are the average Canadians an influence on the government. Seems more like divisionary moves to take away the traditional events, whose purpose was to bring people together, of those who had no part of past events.
Lets not forget history, nor foster corruption that leads to fat pockets at the expense of others.

The Port Authority could have made First Nations people a visible part of the celebrations. In my view the celebration is of Canada and of being Canadian, and not specifically about becoming an official country on a particular day.
Why link Canada Day with First Nations history at all? It doesn't help First Nations .. these are separate challenges that need to be resolved.
@@susanstewart1402
One of the reasons for the cancelation given in the video was that celebrating Canada Day somehow ignores the fact that the first Canadians were the Indians, and that Canada didn't start on July 1st 150 years ago.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 Yeah thats all ballocks. Canada existed upon it's founding. Most natives have zero to do with it beyond doing their best to prevent it and ultimately being semi welcome to integrate.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 To be clear, Canada as a political entity did. Just not the land. Most First Nations I've heard who are opposed to (or more accurately, don't celebrate) Canada Day aren't opposed for it being less inclusive, it's a celebration of a political entity they've been at odds with for over a century. Including them isn't what they want from my understanding until the other issues (see that "over a century" part earlier in this comment) are dealt with.
In other words, when Canada (the political entity) actually reconciles, First Nations might be willing to be a part of that celebration but not so much before.
