Is Vancouver going to be safe for FIFA?

I am taking my first vacation in 26 years this June. I am flying to Vancouver Island. I have booked a hotel close to my 2 cousins and plan on enjoying my well-deserved get-a-way. Even though it would be a dream come true ~ I am not actually going to a FIFA game at BC Place while there. The tickets were just too expensive and hard to get. But I generally find that going to a local pub or a fan-base area where they set up jumbotrons playing the games can be just as much fun. I haven't actually 'planned' anything yet as we are still awaiting any schedule of who plays who and where,... but I know I will catch some games. And I'm really looking forward to that. In the words of Dani Rojas (Ted Lasoo) "Football is life!".

But after seeing the news last night and the Iranian threat of retaliation on 'tourist destinations' I had to sit up and take notice. FIFA is probobly the biggest event that is going to happen in North America this year in terms of massive amounts of people from all over the world converging on one event. Football. Fifa is to be played in 16 cities across Canada, Mexico and the United States, with Toronto and Vancouver being the Canadian venues. 

Normally I would not even be concerned. But with the climate of what is happening in the Middle East right now and Trump being such a loose canon,... I have to be a little concerned. I am telling myself that IF anything were to happen it would more than likely happen in one of the 12 cities in the States. I really can't see Canada becoming a target. However,... I honestly couldn't see this war coming either,.... it just seems in this world right now ANYTHING could happen. So I am not concerned,... but I am aware and following the news. I am pretty sure I will fly out there and have a great time. But the whole trip will have an added concern of travelling during a war. But football is my life and the risk is worth it. I will definitely go. But I will be a tiny bit more aware when I travel this time. 

So roll on June 30th,... it can't come fast enough,...
