She’s My Blackout Baby
It’s good to see that Vancouver’s infrastructure is in tip top shape with large swaths of downtown totally without power due to a power substation fire. The cause, the suspicious and yet unexplained failure of a power cable. Not only are parts of downtown having to shut down (including luxury hotels and high-rises) but the Harbor Center and the many major internet service providers inside are also out of luck, affecting service not only in the city but in the states as well.
It all goes with the fine Vancouver tradition of shotty workmanship. To keep our fraying electrical system company another major problem creeping up on Vancouver is the leaky condo syndrome starting to be found not only in the low rises but also the massive high rise towers. Yes, fifty stories of faulty construction to fix. Good Job Vancouver.
