But what’s the term you use to mark the date you leave Vancouver, because you realise that arts degree you did won’t cut it as your day job barely covers rent and you have no time for creative stuff because your night job is so mind numbly boring that you lack creative juices and no amount of downward dogging or drinking bone broth will cure your ennui from a no-fun city? #vanexit doesn’t sound too good so I implore the wordsmiths of Scout to come up with something catchy for the inevitable facebook event.
