Why Canada is Falling Apart
Something is wrong with Canada and this is why Canada is falling apart in real time and how the country is becoming unliveable with all of the problems it faces.

On Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver. Autumn of 2017.
Robson Street is a major southeast-northwest thoroughfare in downtown and West End of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its core commercial blocks from Burrard Street to Jervis were also known as Robsonstrasse. Its name honours John Robson, a major figure in British Columbia’s entry into the Canadian Confederation, and Premier of the province from 1889 to 1892. Robson Street starts at BC Place Stadium near the north shore of False Creek, then runs northwest past Vancouver Library Square, Robson Square and the Vancouver Art Gallery, coming to an end at Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park.
As of 2006, the city of Vancouver overall had the fifth most expensive retail rental rates in the world, averaging US$135 per square foot per year, citywide. Robson Street tops Vancouver with its most expensive locations renting for up to US$200 per square foot per year. In 2006, both Robson Street and the Mink Mile on Bloor Street in Toronto were the 22nd most expensive streets in the world, with rents of $208 per square feet. In 2007, the Mink Mile and Robson slipped to 25th in the world with an average of $198 per square feet. The price of each continues to grow with Vancouver being Burberry’s first Canadian location and Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood (which is bounded on the south side by Bloor) now commanding rents of $300 per square foot.
In 1895, train tracks were laid down the street, supporting a concentration of shops and restaurants. From the early to middle-late 20th century, and especially after significant immigration from postwar Germany, the northwest end of Robson Street was known as a centre of German culture and commerce in Vancouver, earning the nickname Robsonstrasse, even among non-Germans (this name lives on in the Robsonstrasse Hotel on the street). At one time, the city had placed streetsigns reading “Robsonstrasse” though these were placed after the German presence in the area had largely vanished.
Robson Street was featured on an old edition of the Canadian Monopoly board as one of the two most expensive properties.
Kickboxer (1989) Music Score Review - The Action Elite
Not only is Kickboxer one of JCVD’s best movies but the score from Paul Herzog is also a bit of a classic; sure, some of it sounds a little 80’s by today’s standards but it remains one of my favourite scores.
I can listen to it if I want to work out at the gym as there are some great training montage themes or if I want to chill out as there are several tracks which are perfect meditation tunes.
Stand out tracks include Tai Chi, Advanced Training, The Eagle Lands, Stone City, Ancient Voices and Buddha’s Eagle but there isn’t a dull tune on the soundtrack.
Then we also have a few songs by the great Stan Bush like Streets of Siam, Never Surrender and Fight for Love which are all awesome and inspirational work out tunes. We need more songs in modern action movies which inspire us to go and get fit and better ourselves.
Overall, maybe one of my shortest reviews ever but there isn’t anything else I need to say; the score to Kickboxer is a classic and one of Van Damme’s best; it’s perfect for either working out or chilling out and is a must have if you can find it.
