Watch out for the Salmon Wellington
The Vancouver Port Authority has told the Cannery restaurant it must soon move off the site it has occupied on the waterfront off Commissioner Avenue for many years.
Security. Terrorism.
It's hard to believe that we are doing such a great job patrolling our very vulnerable waterfront that the restaurant somehow compromises that agenda.
The Cannery is one of those rare eateries that can legitimately claim Consistency over the years - consistently great good and great service.
We hope they are able to find an equally wonderful new location.

Just what is the difference between a restaurant and all the other businesses that need the public access along that part of the waterfront? Something is not right here. Smells like a political boondoggle where some bureaucrat has come up with a useless idea to justify a position. What next a floating chainlink fence to keep boaters away from the docks?
No, you'll have deep sea divers checking the bottoms of the boats.
Read the National Post's story, April 1 called What port security? by Jerry Amernic. Larry, Curley and Moe are in charge!
Supposedly the VPD and FBI are operating at Vancouver's port--paid for by the Vancouver taxpayers and not by the Port Authority. The Vancouver Port Police were disbanded in 1997 and those "Angels" moved in. Sleep well. Life is really under control at the 3 ports.
The Port giveth and the Port taketh away. Most likely their reason has less to do with security and far more to do with revenue generation. Waterfront container storage yards are probably more profitable than waterfront restaurants.
