    If I wasn't established in Calgary I would move to VCI in a heart beat. Low cost of living, slowed down lifestyle, no snow.. It would be great.

    Vancouver Island isnt as cheap a place to live as you think. When you live there you find it can actually be a pretty fucked up place at times as well.

    What part did you grow up in? Nanaimo? My mom is retired in Victoria and I try and visit her a couple times a year. Any time I go it's just newly weds and nearly deads.

    Campbell River area

    I visit quite a bit, but if I stay more than about a week I start seeing all the reasons why I left

    Nanaimo actually took the "Heroin capital of the world" title for use per capita from CR about 10 years ago.

    Good article for people who don't know:

    Agreed. It's a messed up place but the tourism and beauty hides it all. Just open your eyes and do non tourist stuff, you'll see.
    Suppose you could live out of a camper van and bank the $ or live on a job site if they'd allow.

    Pretty sure they'll keep the name.

    They sold the remaining 497 company-owned stations. There are a total of 1,700 stations operating under the Esso brand.

    Exactly, they are out of the day to day operation and turn into franchise based support. I'm surprised they hung on for that long to get out of the retail game.

    Gas retail margin is so low that ever since grocery stores started gas stations as loss leaders, these independents just couldn't compete.

    That said, I assume this deal is for the physical locations and hardware. They are probably not all going to continue to be Esso as Mac's align themselves with Petro Can.

    Why do companies do that, have some sort of announcement that the axe is going to fall so people have time to stress about if they will be a statistic?
