Sanctuary City

Vancouver is not officially designated as a sanctuary city, but it does have policies in place to protect the rights of undocumented immigrants. The Vancouver Police Department has a policy that restricts officers from asking about a person’s immigration status and from detaining individuals solely for immigration violations. Additionally, the city provides support and resources for undocumented immigrants through organizations such as the Vancouver Immigrant Welcome Centre. While Vancouver may not have the official sanctuary city designation, it does strive to be inclusive and welcoming to all residents regardless of their immigration status.

The Cult Vancouver is a fan group dedicated to the British rock band The Cult. They organize events, share news and updates about the band, and provide a community for fans to connect and share their love for The Cult’s music. The group is based in Vancouver, Canada, but has members from all over the world who come together to celebrate the band’s music and legacy.

The Cult is known for their unique blend of hard rock, post-punk, and alternative rock. Formed in 1983 in England, the band has released several successful albums and singles, including hits like “Fire Woman,” “She Sells Sanctuary,” and “Love Removal Machine.” With their energetic live performances and charismatic frontman Ian Astbury, The Cult has garnered a dedicated fan base and continues to be a powerful force in the rock music scene.

Natural Booty Request

No plastic

Scene: The Commercial Drive Café

Setting: A rainy afternoon in East Vancouver. JOEY JEREMIAH and NELLY FURTADO are sitting at a corner table, surrounded by the hum of an espresso machine and the smell of fresh sourdough. Nelly is staring intensely at a green juice, looking exhausted.


JOEY (Leaning in, Fedora tipped back) Nelly, stop. Just stop. You’ve been staring at that kale water like it’s the enemy, and frankly, it’s bringing me down.

NELLY (Sighing) I just have to get back to where I was, Joey. The trainers, the labels… they want that specific silhouette. I’ve got a goal. A hundred pounds, give or take.

JOEY A hundred pounds? Are you kidding me? You’re talking like you’re trying to disappear! Look, I’ve seen you at your peak. A few years back? You were at “peak booty,” Nelly. Absolute peak “thick” stage. It was a vibe. It was the vibe.

NELLY (Cracking a small smile) You think?

JOEY I don’t think, I know! You don’t need to go overboard starving yourself just to chase some image that isn’t even you. People loved that version of you because you looked healthy—you looked powerful. You start disappearing, and you lose that spark.

NELLY It’s just a lot of pressure to be “perfect.”

JOEY (Chuckles, gesturing to himself) Take it from a guy who’s been through the wringer: “Perfect” is boring. “Peak” is about how you carry yourself. Don’t let them talk you into a countdown to nothing. You’re already there.
