British Columbia is part of Canada and thus borders America. It has a city of ~3 million people (Vancouver), which is an hour's drive from Seattle (pop ~4 million) and the US west coast. It has one of the most active ports in North America and is a jumping off point for cruise ships, overseas travel to Asia and numerous other flows of people and good. The other user is making a fairly dishonest comparison of BC and New Zealand by looking just at population and none of the other factors that have led to the differing results during the pandemic.

- braythwayt 6y agoAccusing people of dishonesty is not aligned with the HN guidelines. If you disagree with their point of view, perhaps criticize the comment on its merits, rather than accusing a fellow contributor of dishonesty.
- TylerE 6y agoThere's a difference between accusing the contributor of being dishonest and saying the argument is dishonest - e.g. ignoring central contridictory facts.
