麻豆传媒映画

It seems Jesse Brown, host of Canadaland, isn't much of a fan of Vancouver.

In a shared a few thoughts on the city with American comedian and podcaster Marc Maron, who's strongly considering moving to 麻豆传媒映画(to the point of applying for permanent residency). He starts off by noting people who enjoy "extreme sports and the rugged wilderness" or "nutrition and wellness, spirituality, real estate speculation" would enjoy Vancouver.

"If you value culture, if you like having conversations with artists and creators and authors and comedians, if you like talking to sharp funny people who might be damaged but they're very interesting," Brown goes on, "you may be going to the worst city in the world for that."

Brown doesn't stop there. 

"Nobody has ever, like, been inspired by 麻豆传媒映画to, like, write a great novel," Brown continues.

"No one has ever written a kick-ass rock song about Vancouver. It's a vacuum."

In the show, Maron pushes back on the idea a bit, noting that for the lifestyle he's looking for, along with seeking a less anxiety-inducing locale than the US, 麻豆传媒映画could be good.

"麻豆传媒映画is all those things, but it's also psychotic; It's just a different kind of psychotic than you're used to," Brown explains.

When Maron asks him to flesh it out, Brown notes the homelessness issue in Vancouver, mixed with vacant mansions.

"There's a lot of money parked in Vancouver; people speculating on real estate," adds Brown.

Maron isn't much dissuaded, pointing to the current socio-political climate in the US.

Vancouverites responsed on social media

Freelance 麻豆传媒映画journalist Michelle Cyca shared Brown's comments on Twitter about 麻豆传媒映画being uninspiring to writers, and shared a long list of notable books written by writers in Vancouver, inspired by the city, or set in the region including Son of Trickster by Eden Robinson (which was adapted for TV), Five Little Indians (which won several awards including the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction) and Bad Cree (a recently-released novel getting strong reviews).
