I find both cities have a similar mixture of workaholics, laidbacks, and middle stream folks. Aggressive driving seems to be the norm in Vancouver and surrounds but drivers don't use the horn with the same frequency and gusto as they do in TO. Your reference to Vancouver as a growing tree really hit home. That's it. That's what is so different here. There is a nurturing sensitivity that can be misperceived as cliquish. Thanks for writing this. Hi there

Having just passed the 2 year mark in Vancouver I’m still forming my opinion of what it’s like to leave Toronto and do business in Lotusland.

I find both cities have a similar mixture of workaholics, laidbacks, and middle stream folks. Aggressive driving seems to be the norm in Vancouver and surrounds but drivers don’t use the horn with the same frequency and gusto as they do in TO.

Your reference to Vancouver as a growing tree really hit home. That’s it. That’s what is so different here. There is a nurturing sensitivity that can be misperceived as cliquish.

Thanks for writing this.
