Post-Apocalyptic Canada

Vancouver seems to be on the west coast, with Quebec being a territory just north of New England

Just across the river from Vancouver is some national park. That could be forest land. Obviously no deserts, instead I'm thinking untamed wilderness is creeping back into the cities and towns. Think I Am Legend, when there was grass and trees growing out of the streets.

Vancouver doesn't actually get much snow in the winter, it's one of the warmer places in Canada what with being at the southern edge of BC. It's close to the state of Washington, so just go a little further north and that's the type of climate you're looking at.

The rest seems fine, though.

I live there. Its boring. The nickname is No-Fun city. The nightlife is dull as fuck.

Bitterness aside..Its tour time.

The downtown core is small when you think of "downtown". Mostly apartments/condos. Granville street north of the bridge is the "entertainment distict" sort of. all the new night spots are opening there.

There is little interesting about the core

"East Hastings" is the poorest postal code in the country. Homelessness and drug addition is _normal_ there. And utterly harmless. The chance of getting mugged/murdered is 0.

Out south across the bay from the core is the weathly part of the city. rich people and houses, but west of there is the University of British Columbia. Its a big University.

East of the Core and East Hastings is East Van. Poorer, but bohemian. Commercial Drive is very Italian.

South Van is mostly Indian (from India).

The Canucks are the hockey team, and they suck. IF they make it to the finals, they will choke. Bandwagon jumping fans are present in vast numbers. If the Canucks are winning, the jerseys are everywhere, otherwise, not so much. The Giants are our minor league team. Good team, does well, no one cares because they aren't NHL

Aren't there are a lot of Chinese people in Vancouver, too?

PT 2

The Lions are the football team. CFL not NFL.

There's a soccer team and a baseball team, but no one cares.

Chinatown. Huge Chinatown. Largest on the west coast of North America. Old school Chinese immigrants (isolationists, but pleasant). Not like the ones in Richmond who are recent rich hiding from The Communist Party. (arrogant shitlicks.)

The entire city is entirely too proud of the fact that you can get from the ski slope to the beach in 20 minutes. Everyone wants big city events, so long as its held in a different part of the city (NIMBY).

Vast swaths. Lots of houses are now owned by Chinese who haven't immigrated yet. There is a possibility that they are fucking up the market. Housing here is idiotic. Just look it up, then compare it to the average income.

Its fucked.

this is really helpful, keep going plz user

Alrighty.

Get a map going, It'll help.

Off the core, north west end is Stanley Park. Its huge. Used to be you could feed the squirrels. They got real comfortable around humans. Like dive inside your jacket to get food themselves. The ducks were ...british. Polite, patient and orderly, but would scrum around whatever you threw to them. Drop a couple of peanuts and walk away. Stop, look back. There's a cult of ducks following you. The one in front will speak for the rest. Quack. (they're ducks). One quack, and they wait for you to throw food.

The geese are bastards. Canadian geese are assholes. all the stories are true. fuckers. They will straight up assault you for food, for getting too close to their food, or just cause they can.

They are why its now illegal to feed the wildlife.

There are small homeless camps hidden in the park. And the homeless keep it that way. no screaming rants, no fires. Just a quiet, hidden spot where the can live.

Running through the park is a causeway leading to Lions Gate Bridge. 3 lanes. The middle one changes direction during the day for traffic. Was built by the Guiness family for access to the old money part of town (back in the '30s). Leads to "West Vancouver" rich part of town. no middle class there.

"North Vancouver" is a typical suburb. One neat feature is the Seabus. Runs from Lonsdale Quay to Waterfront station. Commuter shuttle straight across the Burrard Inlet. The area is locally reffered to as "The North Shore" . Three ski hills, Cypress Bowl, Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour. Cypress and Seymour you can drive up to. Grouse requires the use of the Skyway, an alpine cable tram. Not fun when the wind picks up. Beyond that is all wilderness for a long way.

PT 3

Further east is the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. Just look that up, IT will be worth the few minutes of reading and the tradition of iron rings for the UBC engineering graduates (look up UBC engineers too- cars. cars hanging from everything)

Next part of the city, heading east is Burnaby. Its a semi urban suburb. Not a lot to report. The north side, along the inlet are several refineries. At the eastern end of the city is Burnaby Mountain, topped by Simon Fraser University. Oddly high suicide rate. Questionable architecture.

Burnaby leads to New Westminster. The original capital of the province (now Victoria). Tiny geographically, and a lot of towers being built there. New West (locals call it) is getting ass fucked by the rest of the cities over traffic. All the bridges for the bedroom communities lead to it or through it, but the city isn't set up for heavy traffic..

South of Vancouver is Richmond, or Ditchmond, or Hong-Kouver. Chinese population exploded in the late 90's when Hong Kong went back to the Chinese. All asshole drivers. No willingness to assimilate or even learn english. The Olympic speed skating oval is there.

The Airport is in Richmond. Its an airport. nothing special.

East and South of Richmond is Delta (real creative there) Its really four areas;Tsawwassen (sa-wa-sen), Ladner, North Delta, and farms in between.

Ladner and Tsawwassen are small towns unto themselves, North Delta is suburb hell. Houses and not else. In between is farms and Burns Bog-a huge ass bog nature preserve. Just on the edge of Tsawwassen are the Ferry Terminal and Deltaport. Deltaport is a coal export thing and the Ferry terminal is one of the two ways to get to Vancouver Island (Victoria is there) West of West Vancouver is the other terminal to The Island (local term).

East of Delta is Surrey:Where Dreams Go to Die. Its the poor white trash and Indian immigrant area. If it was nuked, no one in Vancouver would cry. South of Surrey is White Rock:Home of the Newly Wed and Nearly Dead. Old people and young people and a beach.

South Surrey runs down to the US border. It doesn't look it, but nothing gets across that without being reported. The residents on both sides see to that. No violence, just call the cops.

East of Surrey is Langley. More suburb. And shit urban planning. After that, you head out to Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Hope. Then its mountains for the next fucking forever.

Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Langley, are considered "South of the Fraser", referring to the Fraser River, which runs right through the city. That river runs way fucking north. Prince George is 600km straight north and its on the Fraser River.

We pronounce it Hongcouver up here,see if you can guess why.

This is all terrific, you're the fucking man. Let me apoc this up a bit.

Ok, so mutated wildlife includes highly aggressive and/or social ducks, squirrels and geese.

We've got tribes of druid-esque vagrants hanging out in the park.

To the North, old ski lodges provide for some fun exploration, and rich people mansions could be power bases for Hard-Holders (the landlords of Apocalypse World).

Old car pile-ups clog the streets, making navigation difficult but is a haven for salvaging auto parts. Maybe a bunch of auto-garages have sprung up in the area to make use of this supply.

Hong-Kouver could have lots of Chinese influence, obviously, with Brainers taking on a more mystical quality here, probably on purpose to play upon the more "exotic" culture and make themselves seem more mystical.

The airport could be another interesting scavenge zone. Maybe some lucky asshole managed to scrap together a homemade plane or two.

Then we've got old suburban hell. Lots of petty hardholders here trying to remake the "good old days" of the Golden Age. I'm thinking a Fallout vibe of forced and/or oblivious optimism in a wasteland.

PT 5

Continuing East from New West and Burnaby is Coquitlam and Port Moody. Port Moody surrounds the end of the Burrard Inlet Not much to say about it. Coquitlam is a suburban sprawl. It crawls up the mountain to the north of it. Its expanding that way quickly and people who live there have problems with bears. Used to be bear country 10 years ago and the bears didn't get the eviction notice.

Port Coquitlam is like Coquitlam, with less money. a run-down twin.

Hop across the Pitt River bridge into Pitt Meadows. Slowly expanding suburban area that used to be much more isolated.

East into Maple Ridge. (lacking any real identity other than being way the fuck out there by local standards) East of that is nothing, then Mission, then more nothing then more nothing. Just north of more nothing is Harrison Hot Springs. Its a touristy thing known for hot springs.

Keep going east and you end up in Hope

Oh yeah, the Raccoons in Stanley Park run in gangs. I'm sure one group tried to shake me down one evening. I'm sitting on a bench, just after sundown and 5 of them come out of the bush, surround me, and one of them comes a little closer, rises up on its hind legs and chitters at me while guesturing with its paws.

Just evolve them and make them urban youth, and you got 50's style gangs of tough guys looking for trouble.

Apocalypse World has psychic powers, so I'm thinking they're not too much more intelligent, but now some of them (pack leaders) have telepathy to coordinate the other racoons and make rudimentary communications with people. They mostly just try to peer pressure people into giving them food, but they're still thieving little shits.

PT 6-other shit

Skytrain is our automatic elevated train that runs from Surrey to Vancouver (Expo line), New Westminster round the north side of Burnaby to East Vancouver (Millenium Line which links up with the Expo Line there) and Vancouver to Ricmond and the Airport (Canada Line) South Burnaby to Coquitlam (Evergreen Line-in construction)

Pitt Meadows and Delta have small airports. Abbotsford has a proper airport and the Abbotsford International Airshow, which has been big in the past (saw the SR-71 and that big Russian Antonov there)

Expo 86. Gotta mention that. It was the big game changer for the city. Before that, Vancouver was nothing, really. Shit all internatinally. Then Expo 86. Everyone got a look at the city, saw that it wasn't a complete clusterfuck, didn't have killer weather (unlike the rest of the country, winters in Vancouver are mild as fuck, hovering around freezing)

The world saw this pretty, unfucked city and decided to move here and fuck it up.

Gang violence:Not like anything Hollywood shows. Gangs have been killing each other aggresively here for a few years now, but it's very targeted. Drive bys are rare and done to gang member houses. Very few bystanders get hurt in those killings (not none, but few)

Its rather Canadian that way.

Vancouver is young. I'm not at home so I can't post it, but there's a picture of an American Battleship sailing into the Burrard Inlet taken in the early 30's. The shore in the background is West Vancouver and there is exactly O signs of human influence. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Less than a century ago, A major part of the city had nothing there. If this thread is up tomorrow, I'll post a side by side with a recent picture taken from the same spot (lookout point in stanley park). Its erie.

Until Expo 86 there were two cement factories in the Downtown Core.

Jaysus, three decades from Bumblefuck (sorta) City to North North North California. I've watched similar growth rates with smaller population numbers, and it's unnerving at points.

Yup, that;s them.

PT 7-Drugs

Marc Emory was based out of here. If you don't know the name, look him up. "The King of Pot"

Weed is not legal here, but no one cares. The cops barely care. An asshole high will get busted for intoxication, a nice guy just as high will be told to go home. Its fucking everywhere.

East Hastings, where the serious addicts end up are mostly cocaine injectors, or were. Now its crack, which has cut back on the spread of blood borne diseases like AIDS. Crack cocaine does good by the city, I guess.

Traffic is shit here. Most Congested City in Canada. The idea of mobile car scavengers in purpose built shops on wheeled stilts would be the gods of the roads.

The only military bases are CFB Chilliwack (CFB-Canadian Forces Base)

A not on the military. Canada has the Canadian Armed Forces, which consist of Army, Navy and Air Force. But its all one force. If you fly, you're Air Force, if you float, you're Navy, if you walk or drive you're Army. This can be weird for Americans to get used to. Each has its own uniform, but an Air Force base might have Army handling logistics and Navy doing admin. Think of it as one fighing force, with specialist branches that have their own uniforms.

Military might is not Canada's thing. The West Edmonton Mall had more subs than the Navy for a while. A fucking shopping mall with more naval power than the fucking Navy.

groups of Quebecers have used the apocalypse as a way to finally become independant of Canada and have begun attacking other areas of Canada in order to claim them under the banner of "Nouveau-Quebec"

Hollywood North, my man.

Stargate, Smallville, X-files, Andromeda,

X-Men, Deadpool, Blade Tron;Legacy Lots of filming here. Production companies love us. The locals don't fuck with them.

Deadpool completely fucked up the already fucked up traffic for the city, and we loved it. The fight scene with the cars happened on the Georgia Causeway (downtown). The Helicarrier was parked in front of the Patullo (pu-tell-ah) bridge (orange one in the back ground-New Westminster).

Beware the raiders from Quebec. They're a little odd.

PT 8 Other places

Fuck Toronto. I cannot say this hard enough.

FUCK

TORONTO.

Everyone hates Toronto. I've been there, I get it, Its an arrogant shithole that produces nothing but assholes.

Fuck Toronto.

Fuck Quebec. Fuck those froggy not-really-french-speaking-whiny-bitches.

The only reason we hate them, really, is because they're whiny "we're special" crybabies who want to separate, but not really. If you hate yourself and want to punish yourself, look up Sovereignty Association and be filled with hate.

Its the nationalist equivalent of a teenager demanding independence while still living in the basement.

Fuck Quebec. The only reason BC wasn't more aggressive on the seperatist vote issue is because we didn't want to be That Guy.

The rest of the Country we are kind of meh about, except the Maritimes, who we like, but will never challenge to a drinking game.

Japan we like, China we're stuck with, India has mostly tried to move here..

Seattle.
Damn. Statistically, economically, geographically, environmentally we're eerie similar. Mostly the differences are in the details. Injected cocaine here, Heroin there. Ferry use levels is similar,

Violence is 3 times higher there, Gun violence, specifically. Everything else tracks by use vs population, except that.

Victoria is the provincial capital. We don't loath the city, just one building in it. Actually, Vancouver really like Victoria. Its pretty and English there.

The rest of the world is just the rest of the world no really strong opinions.

First Nations People (aka Natives)
Being first nations is Canada is a ticket to sucksville. Take all the contempt that the US has towards blacks, and then take away the hip-hop culture, and gang violence and replace it with loathing, alcohol and drug addiction, and despair

A First Nations Person off the reserves is a stupid chug who should go back to the reserve. A First Nations Person on the reserve is a lazy chug who should get a job

Not enough porn stores and an accent that sounds like a concussed Frenchman having a stroke. Its an unfortunate accent.

Man. Why do you have to be spouting realities... No one wants to really hear that Canada is really just the US and shittier in slightly different ways. It's not even worse weather.

I was enjoying the Mounties riding mutated moose. Hope realism inspires something creative at least OP.

PT 9 Nuke here! and here!

It looks like if you nuke Hope, you cut Vancouver off from the rest of the country. Not true. That will cut the Highway 1 connection. Highway 99 runs north from North/West Vancouver to Whistler, then to Pemberton, Lillooet (the Japanese were interred here during WW2) and then to Cache Creek where it connects back to Highway 1 (which runs across the country) There are lots of places to cross into the US, then run through the Rocky Mountians and then back into Canada.

Cutting Highway 99 just north of Horseshoe Bay will make it hard to drive, but not impossible. There are villages along logging roads north of Allouette Lake and Pitt Lake and those connect back to Highway 99 near Pemberton.

...

I was gonna have the mounties be really hardcore and grimdark, but it'll be in stark contract to their appearance, which will just be totally silly.

And I like the realisms, it's giving me lots of good inspirations! See here:

I was in Vancouver for like a day. I vaguely remember a dock area that was all prettied up by artists and it was hipster central. What was that called?

>I was enjoying the Mounties riding mutated moose

Not entirely unrealistic, my grandmother up north has a pet moose.

The Native Band: A united collection of various native Canadian groups that barely noticed the Apocalypse. They rule their own territories without question, but are very xenophobic.

The Hortons: A religious idolatry group that consider any Time Hortons as a temple of the old civilization. They offer hot drink hospitality to visitors, but members are generally just a small step above slave labor. A monkish organization.

Wild Rose Republic: A hyper-Libertarian/Religious group of extremists that enforce individualism even if you don't want it.

The New Chinese Conglomerate: A group of formerly elite Chinese power-families that used to rule Vancouver with an iron fist. They'd probably own the West coast of Canada if they didn't blow all their resources on looking drastically more prosperous than they were.

The Quebecois Nationale: A powerful socialist state of French speaking fucks that have a quasi-religious view of the characters on Telefrance and consider the gags on Just for Laughs as allegories for how to live your life.

The Seattle Western Union: A west coast group committed to uniting the West coast along old Canadian/American groups. Seen as a generally reliable third party in most disputes because they always want to see the best outcome. But they also do some shady shit to get groups to cooperate against the East. Their economy is based on sacred weed.

The CSIS: A shadowy, Brotherhood of Steel type organization. They have a subset of Mounties that act as holy paladins. They guard Canada's most guarded secrets, as well as the hidden nuke stash that never got a chance to be launched before the world fell apart (Seriously though, Canada has nukes and we won't admit it. There are radiation leaks in the Canadian shield that prove it and will get you a spooky visit from officials if you talk too loudly about it).

The CSIS irl spook me out, do we rarely hear about them because they're really good at their job? Or because they're unbearably shitty?

Either Steveston, in Richmond or Granville Island. How long ago, and was there a bridge over it? Or big cranes?
Might have been near Lonsdale quay, but that would be very recent and temporary.

Both. Plus they're more about info processing than direct action.
The get the intel, turn it into evidence and then pass it on to the RCMP

They are that good. Go Google what they have pulled off. It's a he'll of a list of acomplishments. Quebec is full of bastards and some of them have tried to be like the IRA.
The mounted are already hard core and badass. The ones you see on horseback are campy yes, but not to be messed with

Seems like people forgot to mention curling.
You can have enemies who use curling equipment.
PCs come across onto an open patch of ice, and notice that at the far end is a couple people with hockey masks.
One person launches a round flat disc, (a land mine), and another person is skating in front of it, sweeping a path which will allow it to glide ride into the feet of the PCs

They're fantastic at keeping a low profile.

My grandpa used to work for them. He very rarely talked about it except for when he had a lot to drink. It's a very spoopy MiB type of organization. They like to turn info over to other organizations for arrests though, and keep their hands clean. Sometimes they'd do "anonymous" reports to avoid any legal hurdles with how the local police/RCMP got their info.

Van user here. If this thread is still here tomorrow when I'm done work, I'll post more.

Good night. Keep your stick on the ice

Curling explosives or spinning blades, done

Never heard about these claims, and it kinda doesn't make sense considering our best friend to the south has nukes falling out every orifice.....do you have a source for this?

no they're that good. One particularly absurd event of which I've read was an event in which they couldn't surveil a meeting between two gangs, I think one being hell's angels, they just decided to burn down the barn in which it happened. It sounds retarded, and it kind of is, but it's indiciative of the profile they like to keep.

You won't find one. 90% certain they are American bombs on British launch equipment, the hidden boot knife of the Western World, not listed on anyone's TOE, they basically exist to fuck whomever the aggressor was in the event that USA/NATO gets utterly blindsided. Security via Obscurity. Necessary because the US didn't think the Russians would ever be capable of the kind of CEP needed to take out a Minuteman silo (whoops), and so put all their missile bases out in the open where they'd be easy to build and easy to service.

Less important in the GPS era because of the options that precise targeting give the USA's SLBM arsenal.

But the leaks are probably closer related to the Uranium mining than the weapon storage, bombs are pretty well contained by nature.
CSIS is very good at rumor suppression. Several American traitors have been taken in under CSIS direction, because the FBI didn't trust domestic apparatus to be discrete enough to allow the creation of a double agent.

Also: it could be a plot point to find a crate of frozen beavertails from "civilization past" or timbits, or nanaimo bars or something similarly Canadian. It could even be a two-four of molson.

...you know ... you know Canada is an actual place, right? Like, it isn't Atlantis. We're real. There is more than maple syrup and caribou up here. You know this, right?

Just watch the beginning of Strange Brew, that should give you all you need, user.

Jesus, seriously?

I don't get the fuck TO attitude. Fuck Calgary, sure, but fuck TO? Never understood it. It's okayish.

I like being in TO for short periods of time in the summer, at least downtown TO. You can check out all kinds of comic stores, music stores, clothing stores, whatever you're into. Plenty of people too, who tend to be nice (assholes are everywhere, and where I am they seem to be in higher concentration than most in Canada). I would NOT want to live there though. Too many people and the traffic is crap.

Dude, you wanna do Canada right, you gotta set it in Winnipeg. Geographical centre of Canada, so you could go in any direction. Major trade hub with rivers and trains makes it a perfect apocalyptic centre for regrowth. Manitoba has every type of climate. You want wetlands, we have wetlands. Want forest, we got em. Want a desert, got that too. No mountains, though. Kinda flat.

Exchange District in the heart of the city is a national historical sight. Entire neighbourhood with preserved early 20th century archetecture. Great vibe. The Forks has been a meeting and trade location for 6,000 years.

Culturally, we have large populations of Caucasians, Metis and first nations, Ukranians and african immigrants, just a huge fing cross section of the entire planet.

Wiki The Red River Rebellion, The Winnipeg General Strike and If Day for story ideas.

Also, we were the murder capital of Canada for like a decade. We likes our violence.

Blistering heat in the summer, freezing blizzards in the winter.

Winnipeg. Tell your friends.

The Saskatchewanians, a group of mutated inbred freaks and raiders.
Of course that's basically modern Saskatchewan so I don't really think that counts as an idea.

>If Day
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Day

Christ. That's the most hardcore LARPing I've ever read.

Interesting theorizin' on that, I can't say I completely buy it but the place to put secret nukes if you were gonna do it WOULD be somewhere way out in the Canadian Shield. Although I do wonder how difficult it would be to keep such an operation running unnoticed.

Where'd this....idea, for lack of a better word come from, a friend?

Also. To become Aesthetically Immersed with the game. People committing Bestiality would be a common item in post war Canada, mainly around heavy liberal based regions. To the point where entire industries to fuck your local animal begins out of the un godly desperation of mankind, who's ability to stick their genitals into anything knows no bounds. Like for example,some Animals would be priced higher than others per rate of population. Taking this, let's say, a common house pet. A dog. Now, considering people would rush to the safe areas with them, they'd more or less surplus as breeding continues. This makes your local bitch, metaphorically and literally. A cheap item to fuck its holes up. But now, here is where things get tricky, with a nuclear holocaust there would be times where prices of this item go high in price with famines. And with famines equal less dogs as we are using in this example, and with less dogs are less ficke ficke. Making it drive up in price. And that's not to even count out the different species of dogs, ranging in aesthetic. So it all just keeps getting complex were Survivors in the Industry are often solely tasked with accounting and keeping up with the Daily Keem. Now, from what I told you with a single family of Animalia. It's not hard to think that with all this going on. There would be torrents of Animal relations (I.E Fleshlight makeshift attached to some furs.) Or glory holes of Animal Noises. The Fucking Animals in Canada Industry is large and complex, and you can make great resource in this new world by providing an Entertainment, every local Canadian needs.

Doggy Style: Animal Planet if it were the Red Lights District

Nigga what the fuck. This was here to discuss Canadian Apocalypse.

No they mutated into giant leeches, I mean it has to seem somewhat realistic

If any of the facts were verifiable, it'd be a horseshit secret, but I have relatives that were involved in the negotiations around the the time they cancelled the TSR.2, Canada was in a "Me too" mode, and had been planning to buy 30 to have a native deterrent force. SAC didn't want to turn over any warheads for FB-111 duty, and given missile mount warheads, they decided to do weird shit.

It was supposed to be very low resource, like maybe not even regularly manned, which makes me think solid fuel.

If it's not already gone, it's probably only not dismantled because of SALT related embarrassments that would result.

This is beautiful.

>The mounted are already hard core and badass. The ones you see on horseback are campy yes, but not to be messed with

Perfect

Christ on the Cross, I don't want this game to turn into a magical realm.

>liberals are dog fuckers

Hilarious. Get back in your containment board, you fucking degenerate.

Whiny Quebecfrog here, I'll try to contribute a few things, but most of what was posted by people closer to Vancouver is better.

If you're including mutated monsters and stuff, check out some Native Canadian folklore. The Wendigo is always a pretty obvious inclusion.

IIRC, Canada's west coast has some really nice coral reefs and marine life, if your party somehow gets close enough to the sea. Not sure how you could incorporate that, but might work for something.

Just because I need a reason to shill The Red Green Show, I'd say look to it for vehicle/tech inspiration. Swiss Army Canoes, hybrid cars from golf carts and satellite dishes, and vans held together only with duct tape could fit a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

If you want a few keks, look up the Rhinoceros Party of Canada; they had plans like annexing Britain and abolishing all laws. Probably not the best people to get involved if you want a semi-serious game or don't want politics involved, but otherwise could work as recurring goofballs.

10/10, would join puppet cult.

Don't listen to this guy, Canada doesn't exist.

Next thing he'll say is that not everyone in the US brings guns to McDonalds everyday, and that there are more than communists and bears in Russia.

Sounds great, thanks. Vancouver is right on the water, so I'm thinking we could do a Fallout 4 Far Harbor type environment nearby, with crusty fisher folk and harbor people.

This is pretty funny. And all true.

> implying /pol/ is a containment board
Found the SJW

Hyper-moose

Sentient maple trees trapping prey with projectile syrup

Unfortunately I can't contribute all that much as an edmontonfag, but I can tell you that in Alberta, Vancouver has the reputation of being a liberal paradise where everyone smokes pot all day and makes art.

Oh, and they definitely steal all of our oil money to fund their commie pinko garbage.

I fucking wish. Just talked to my GM, he's aiming for a more grounded "man is the real monster" style setting. Dammit, even the Moose Mounties were too farfetched!

Sounds like a right boring cunt

I suppose you could twist that into periodic invasions of the eastern barbarians, looking for the oyul munny that the heathens in the West stole from them.

>liberal paradise where everyone smokes pot all day and makes art.

Sounds great, shame about the cost of living

>Oh, and they definitely steal all of our oil money to fund their commie pinko garbage.

You're thinking of Ontario

Man everyone who isn't #BERTASTRONG is stealing our oyul munny, if you listen to half of the crusty old fucks who work the patch.

Nah, he's just trying to maintain the tone of Apocalypse World which, while kinda weird, isn't nearly as crazy as we're making it out to be.

That's precisely what /pol/ is for

Yeah my background is petrology and Alberta has some of the dumbest hillbilly fucks in the country. Nothing beats a Canadian who hangs up confederate flags in his barn.

At least the joke's on them, where do they think the oil companies are going when it's gone? Hint: Saskatchewan

I for one can't wait for all of the crusty old fucks to get out of here. Between Edmonton and Calgary we almost have a little bit of culture!

>Canadians hanging up the Cuckfederate flag

wot

>apocalyptic vancouver
Asians, male feminists, and runaway trams.

I know right, it's always the rural meatheads who get scared of things like school and vaccinations

Ignorance is Strength

>Ignorance is Strength

That's the Conservative motto here iirc

Alberta is pretty goddamn retarded. Everyone I know from there is either /pol/ incarnate or the one total SJW. This one guy actually had the word "Sheeple" in his vocabulary.

Alberta, is basically the deep south of Canada, and somehow also a good chunk of southern Ontario. Goddamnit most people are complete hicks here.

If we're going with folklore, potlatch is traditional among the first nations on parts of the west coast. Not really monster fuel or anything, but it's a fascinating practice, and it DID happen, if you want to go for realism.

It's everyone's motto, m8. Everyone has selective attention, cherry picking the facts and instances that help their cause.

> Everyone behaves the way, I, a young man on the internet, imagine

Exactly!

>ey equipment is extremely common, with pads, helmets, jerseys, and sticks being common components of one's loadout. Bandits and raiders are especially fond of hockey armor and weapons. Hockey sticks getting turned into spears and halberds is not unusual.
>-The descendants of the Canadian Mounties wear battered, torn up uniforms as they ride about on mutated moose, serving as a hard-ass lawbringer group. Think stereotypical wild west themes, but Canadianized.
>-Snow is frequent, and thus snow vehicles are too.

Dude it NEVER SNOWS in Vancouver. I live here. It rains. ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

yeah, I've been told that, I believe it was called Chinook, warmer air coming in from the pacific warms the place up pretty well.

Also Vancouver is 40 minutes from Seattle. Not exactly far north.

Flight, I should add.

You've got to avoid Calgary and Edmonton. People get better in Red Deer and Lethbridge, not good mind you, just better.

Of course, if you keep going to smaller and smaller towns it swings back to full redneck again...

Not just Vancouver. Southern Alberta is consistently windy with Chinooks being commonplace. Temperatures can vary wildly in short periods of time.

I'm talking shit tons of snow and frigid cold air one week, sun and t-shirt weather the next.

Are you high? Red deer is a wretched hive of inbred fulltards

Can confirm. Alberta is the most retarded province and are insanely delusional about how well off they were.

Those retards had an oil boom and based their spending on hoping it'd last forever. Handed out massive subsidies to oil companies and did retarded shit like make deals where they only pay taxes after X years. The companies instead just moved their HQ away after oil prices dropped and the leftover shells declared bankruptcy.

They put the oil money in the general revenue fund to make up for tax cuts for fucks sake, and called everyone else jealous when we warned them what would happen. It was the second most fiscally irresponsible regime in Canada next to the Ontario Libs, and probably would have surpassed them over time if they didn't get the boot.
