Question

Mike Harcourt failed to protect residents of this city from evictions in the leadup to an event with the theme “Transportation and Communication: World in Motion - World in Touch.” That event led to the coining of the term SkyTrain for this city’s public (15[1])transit system. The Asiatic Exclusion League led a series of 1907 Anti-Oriental Riots in this city, in which demonstrators advocating for indigenous women tore down the statue of an ex-prospector who founded this city’s (*) Gastown (-5[1])neighborhood following the (-5[1])Cariboo Gold Rush. This city hosted the 1986 (10[1])World’s Fair, and the Sea to Sky (-5[1])highway connects it to Whistler, where the ski events (10[2])of the 2010 Winter Olympics took place. For 10 points, name this large city on Canada’s Western shore, the (10[1])most populous in British Columbia. ■END■ (10[3])
