Victoria is older than Vancouver, there is a lot of history that entrenches our city as the capital of this province.

The Lower Mainland had their chance back in 1866 when New Westminster was the Capital ... but they were outsmarted by the city slickers from Victoria.
That's right, Vancouver might have had the ambition to host an Olympics, a World's Fair, etc, but Victoria had their sights set higher. What will it take to wake Victoria up though?

Welcome to ghost town Victoria. Maybe Len Barrie could buy up property and expand the golf courses. Turn it into one big golf course.

So what if we relocate 25,000 people?

No, we would pave it. It could be one big surface lot.

Perhaps Vancouver Island should become its own province.
If P.E.I can make it work why couldn't we? We could resurrect Vancouver Island's Colonial flag ... let's do it!
