Vancouverites are being invited to talk about their feelings 鈥� in particular, feelings of loneliness and isolation鈥�

Here鈥檚 what our readers had to say ():
鈥淕. M. Hiltz I鈥檓 a pretty much born and bred Vancouverite, and no, absolutely not, 麻豆传媒映画is not at all the friendliest city in the world. Full stop. There鈥檚 many cities I鈥檝e been to in Canada and the US that are much friendlier than Vancouver, including Halifax.鈥� - Anthony Lee Matthews
鈥淭hat鈥檚 completely false! 麻豆传媒映画is a cold, cliquey, unfriendly, expensive place. So many other beautiful cities/towns to live in, in BC! So happy I don鈥檛 live in 麻豆传媒映画anymore!鈥� - Tara Olivia
鈥淏ull crap. Lived all over the world. Definitely not the friendliest city.鈥� - Carol Bignell
鈥淗ahaha. As a public servant who works with the public, I can clearly say this is not true. I say hello to people I pass by and they don't say a word, nor make any eye contact.鈥� - Maria Jackman
鈥溌槎勾接郴璱s a snobby city. The only friends I've made here in 25 yrs. are either from Europe, S. America or other parts of Canada!鈥� - Ellen Garthofner Ruane
鈥淯mmmm, what? I think they meant most stand-offish, passive-aggressive, and bitchy.鈥� - Travis Bourque
鈥淚 know one thing is for sure. It's a very difficult place to meet a woman, and to find a life partner.鈥� - Brad Williams
鈥淚t's a facade for tourists.鈥� Cdub Wy
鈥淚 call bulls**t..Come back East for the friendly folks..I was just in 麻豆传媒映画and used to live there, so nope...鈥� Sue Silliker
鈥淚'm from Halifax, 麻豆传媒映画isn't the friendliest city.鈥� - G. M. Hiltz
鈥淚 wouldn't call it friendly. Lived here 7 years. It's fun and the people are definitely nice. But friendly? Not at all. It's definitely a bubble city.鈥� - Ovber Michael
While most disagreed, there were a couple who saw the positive side鈥�
鈥淲ell, I am not from Vancouver, I have been to 46 Countries and more than 300 cities worldwide and I agree with this survey! I love Vancouver.鈥� - Carlos Machado Kannan
鈥淚've had 7 family members visiting from Scotland and they are all giving positive feedback on the friendliness here.鈥� - Tim Spencer
