Weird! Because if you spend a few years in Metro Vancouver (2.85 million people), you'll find that it's the smallest city on the planet.
Your new boss has two exes in common with you. You've blocked your mayor on Twitter. You've met several alumni from your high school at orgies. Your second cousin is your landlord's on-site manager. The father of one of your childhood bullies is a provincial minister. You just got in a crash with a truck driver who used to be your music teacher's favourite student. You've cussed out your MLA for having absolute dogshit bus etiquette before.
