The Real Housewives of Vancouver | 2012/13 TV Series | A mercifully short-lived reality television program that sought to give Vancouverites “a glimpse inside the world of some of the most affluent women in the country […] as they enjoy the lavish lifestyle of luxurious wealth and pampered privilege […] where being seen and who you know is everything.” What it really gave us was further evidence of the fact that money buys neither class nor happiness. Oh, and a reason to cancel our cable.
