The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

He apparently did a lot to decrease illiteracy and the wealth gap. Developed the country, supplied oil to the poor, blah blah. He's pals with Iran, that's enough for me to dislike him.

Not to mention the mainstream US media told me he's a baddie so I don't ask any questions... I just wave my stars and stripes, rewind the Superbowl halftime show and contemplate the next episode of the Bachelor.

He bankrupted the country selling subsidized oil both domestically and to neighbouring "friends" (Belize still buys subsidized fuel from Venezuela - full payment due at a later date...). Their currency recently had to be devalued but it did nothing to ease the shortages of basic food items.
