Get on my facebook, I have a live feed if anyone is still up? Or just google "vancouver riots. You don't even have to type it all, it's the top thing going on and google will finish your typing. Rediculous! I'm sad to say I come from Canadian decent. I'm sure most of you are sleeping, but look tomorrow. Cars on fire, then a building, and cops in full riot gear launching tear gas and rubber bullets from the red rifles if you see them, that's what they are. All over a hockey game. News from Vancouver is that thousands started flooding the streets at 11am our time and the Canadian Governmet shutdown all beer and liquor stores then. Just heard another shot of tear gas go off on the other window as I type. Looks like LA after Rodney King. If you are up, google it and watch the live feed I am.

Canada has cutoff all live feeds from being televised. I was watching a news camera ontop of a building for the past hour, it went black. I then googled more and foundout the Canadian Gov ordered all camera feeds shut off. Cop cars on fire, one building that I saw, and all over a hockey game? They talk about the riots of 94, but this is waaaaay more. Rodney King type stuff. I'll look for more youtube videos. This was a guy recording from his tv from a camcorder. This was the beginning. Only one cop car on fire. youtu.be/6Wi0PkO2rMwThis is so weak compared to what we watched live. Picture skyscrapers in NY with black smoke billowing over them from the street with 4-8 police vehicles burning. NO POLICE for almost 45 minutes and then they showup with riot gear. whacking drunk canucks with batons, shooting rubber bullets, TONS of tear gas and a big building on fire. Hopefully you will see it on our news tomorrow? It's true, the Canadian Government shutdown all live feeds and all youotube has is videos from people using camcorders rcording tv. youtu.be/izkDi0fng5w

By the time I got to this all of your links were dead. I was able to read some about it on BBC news though. What a mess. I thought that kind of thing only happened in Detroit.

They did the same thing when they lost back in 94 or whenever it was too. Classy people up there huh?

I think this one was worse than 94. I stayed up way too late watching this. I'd get a feed and then it would get shutdown. I don't cbc, but my cousin's wife was watching it and we were talking on fb while it was happening. I then was watching youtube videos where people were recording their tv's but then those were gone too. For quite awhile at the beginning the cops backed off, but then returned with riot gear. Well, time to pack the truck and head north. Rain showers tonight up there so Jackie wants to get a motel near the water for tonight and then to the campground tomorrow. I'm sure the motel will have wifi or McDonalds will, so if I get bored I'll check in on what's going on around here.
