Vancouver no longer the world's most livable city:... →
I think I’ve had this Economist survey link emailed to me about 500 times this morning from my non-Vancouver based pals. To be honest, I don’t really care about this… but I do care about when the media twists up statistics to create a story.

A Funny Thought
