Vancouver is a major city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2021 census recorded 662,248 people in the city, up from 631,486 in 2016. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,642,825 in 2021, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,400 people per square kilometre. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 72 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 88.9 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 80.6 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups. Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in Canada and in the world. In terms of housing affordability, Vancouver is also one of the most expensive cities in Canada and in the world.[15] Vancouver plans to become the greenest city in the world. Vancouverism is the city's urban planning design philosophy. Indigenous settlement of Vancouver began more than 10,000 years ago, and the city is on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh (Burrard) peoples. The beginnings of the modern city, which was originally named Gastown, grew around the site of a makeshift tavern on the western edges of Hastings Mill that was built on July 1, 1867, and owned by proprietor Gassy Jack. The original site is marked by the Gastown steam clock. Gastown then formally registered as a townsite dubbed Granville, Burrard Inlet. The city was renamed "Vancouver" in 1886, through a deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended to the city by 1887. The city's large natural seaport on the Pacific Ocean became a vital link in the trade between Asia-Pacific, East Asia, Europe, and Eastern Canada. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, APEC Canada 1997, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; several matches of 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup including the finals at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver,[18] and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 1969, Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver. The city became the permanent home to TED conferences in 2014. As of 2016, Port Metro Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While Money Laundering remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North"

One of China’s largest overseas buyers just had its operations seized by the government. The China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), the state runned regulator, has officially begun prosecution of Wu Xiaohui, the former CEO of Anbang. The process has led the government to seize control of the assets “temporarily,” placing billions of dollars of Canadian real estate in the hands of the Chinese government. Oh yeah, and the Chinese government may be deciding which assets need to be liquidated. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Mike in The Night ! - The Great Reset - #mikeinthenight #talkshow #Thegreatreset" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3SCIZ0zge4 -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd-IummaTxg

Pandemic Economic Recovery Could Worsen Climate Change Health Impacts By continuing to subsidize fossil fuels, recovery plans could exacerbate threats from diseases like malaria, cholera and dengue fever Pandemic recovery plans that invest in or subsidize fossil fuels will increase the spread of infectious diseases globally by contributing to climate change, according to a new report from The Lancet, a leading medical journal. Increased infections of dengue fever, cholera and malaria are just some of the ways, along with more severe heat waves and wildfires, that failure to act on climate change will have catastrophic health impacts around the world and in the United States, according to “The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change,” which has 93 authors across 43 academic institutions and United Nations agencies. “This report is a code-red for our healthy future,” said co-author Anthony Costello, a professor of global health and sustainable development at the University College London. The report, released last night, takes particular aim at policy missteps—such as coronavirus economic recovery plans—that could worsen climate health impacts. “A fossil-fuel driven recovery, although potentially meeting narrow and near-term economic targets, could push the world irrevocably off course for the ambitions of the Paris Agreement, with enormous costs to human health,” the report states. The report notes that just 18 percent of post-pandemic economic recovery funds are expected to lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and that economic recovery from COVID-19 already has led to a 5 percent increase in greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. What’s more, 77 percent of countries reviewed in the report are still subsidizing fossil fuel development, with some of those subsidies “accounting for many times their whole health budget,” said Marina Romanello, a “Countdown” author from the University of Cambridge. “Current COVID-19 recovery plans are threatening to lock the world into a future of increased emissions and ill-health,” she said. “As trillions of dollars are being unrolled for COVID recovery, we are really risking that those dollars are assigned to high-carbon intensity activities and a carbonized recovery.” The report’s release comes just weeks before world leaders will meet in Glasgow, Scotland, for COP26 talks, where scientists say nations must agree to sharp declines in fossil fuel usage in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Costello said he hoped the report will serve as “a wake-up call” before that meeting. “We are calling for urgent, globally coordinated action to mitigate climate change and to integrate climate change mitigation into COVID-19 recovery plans,” he sai ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9imXBVD6igw
