Zach Galifianakis reveals that he lives on a remote island in B.C.

Aww bc hes so guarded by the community as their own little flower. Galiflower. 🥲. Theyll cut a MF for even coming close to disturbing his peace. Sucks for you but i think its pretty cute What im more surprised is how hes not living on Galiano but i guess further proof hes not a narcissist lol

A friend of mine lived close to him on denman.

Have an upvote.

Salt Spring, Denman, Pender, Gabriola, etc are all VERY crunchy granola.

I remember talking to somebody from Texas, when my school visited NY. She believed most of us use outhouses because it's too cold for plumbing. I told her how most of us have septic now, but were not supposed to feed the polar bears that wonder through the streets of Vancouver.  She was out there thinking all of Canada is as seen on yvon of the Yukon.

I was once asked, in Pennsylvania, what it’s like to live in such a ‘vast, frozen wasteland’ as Canada. I laughed so hard I slid under the table as I tried to explain what Vancouver Island is like.

Very true. I live in Vancouver and my dad lives on Cortes Island and when we visit we leave home at 7am and arrive there 5 PM at the earliest. It’s a beautiful-but very long-trip.

Well Americans living on the east coast. I live in the Canadian Prairies, originally the American West. Just did a weekend vacation with my American family. 8 hours driving one way (16 hours driving total) My dad drives 2 hours to work. My aunt regularly drives 6 hours to see my cousin lol. Same mindset as up here. Ive done many many 4-6 hour one way overnight trips. Hell my best friends drive over 2 hours every day, the husband for work, the wife for a book club and our softball team lol, in separate vehicles lol. North America is massive when you get out of the metroplexes. Its just normal to us.

Remote is not necessarily distance. Driving 5 hours is nothing for most Canadians. I drive 1.5hrs each way to work. And the Gulf Islands are serviced with regular ferry traffic. Those islands are very touristy during the summer.

You can drive to YQQ in 30-40 mins from the ferry if you time things. It wouldn't surprise me if this guy has a boat and doesn't even need to worry about the ferry. Park in the Comox marina and then a 10 minute cab to the airport. 

If it's a place like Gambier that would be easy!

Yea I can stand at the beach nearby and see Vancouver, but it'll easily take 4 or 5 hours to get there from where I am.

3 hours from Victoria.

Harbour air flies out of Comox all summer long. I'd imagine he has a boat.. zip to Comox and he'd be in Vancouver in less than 90 mins. 

Oh my god. The Bruce Willis episode. Zach: So how many kids do you have? Bruce: Three. Zach: Which one’s your favorite? Is it Ashton?

Unless it’s tapioca. I have a special place in my heart for tapioca pudding

It’s not a private island.

okay that's a little more remote ig.

Yeah, by driving it is a minimum of 5 hours from Vancouver to wherever he lives on the island, and that’s only if you manage to time the ferries perfectly, with reservations.

He could be in Vancouver in 90 mins.. boat to the marina in Comox then harbour air.. or take a taxi to YQQ. Flying is pretty c**** out of YQQ so I'd imagine a movie guy could afford that if he needed to go anywhere in a hurry. 

You must be from Europe. In Canada we'll drive that far for a party

In Ontario we call that a drive to work

Remote is 24 hour ferry, not 2 hour ferry 🙃

Not in Canada

In South Carolina many of us will drive 3 hours on a weekend to go to Dirty Myrtle Beach (and then drive 3 hours back home at the end of the weekend 😭)

Denmam Island.

And an international airport is 5 mins from the Costco.

No, him had it right, bein’ from Wilkes Co., and all.

They experienced the American education system. What did you expect.

Hijacking your comment to rant about this grammar rule. It is almost always blank and I, but it CAN BE me and blank. “Will you go to the store with Jake and I” is grammatically incorrect bc you’re saying “Will you go to the store with I.” In my 11th grade drama class my teacher, who was also an English teacher, gave me a 25% deduction on my script because I had several lines that were written that way. Despite the fact that it was dialogue which doesnt have to follow those strict grammar rules imo, IT WAS GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT. But for years afterwards I was incorrectly believing it is ALWAYS “blank and I.” Dont get me started on how she always corrected us on the word “mature.” “It’s ma-tour not ma-chure” “Are you sewer (sure) about that?”
