I expect there may be some who aren't, but in a dozen trips I've not met one.

Love my brothers and sisters to the north and can't wait to visit soon!

Wonder how much USA Today was paid to run that ad?

Good question...but most likely paid by the BC Grape Producers Association (and supplemented by BC taxpayers). A small price to pay for benefits, breadth and depth of tourism into our beautiful province.

BC, especially Vancouver, is awesome. That's probably why housing is shockingly high.

You can Snow Ski, Play Golf and Water Ski all in the same day.

One of the most beautiful places!

Can't go wrong with Nova Scotia on the other side either.

Similar to California, it has 7 out of 9 of the temperate climates....

All currently a moot point, fellas. The border is still closed.
