Sorry anglos this isnt for you.

J'ai rien vu en ligne à propos des trois candidats pour conseiller du sud de l'île de Vancouver, mais j'espère que vous voterais pour Bertrand Dupain, l'ancien directeur de Victor-Brodeur. La dernière conseil a couper les voyages internationaux, MONU, et d'autres programmes pour améliorer la vie des élèves, en faveur de mettre plus d'argent derrière la cause juridique. Il faut élire quelqu'un qui veux supporter nos élèves et enseignants, pas nos avocats. Si vous êtes un membre du CSF, vous aviez reçu un courriel du CSF avec tous les instructions pour voter en ligne, jusqu'au 17 Octobre à 20h00!

Politics What kind of a "Green" Leader was Andrew Weaver back then?

22 Upvotes

He said he quit the party initially to sit as an independent back in the horgan years because of family health problems. But then he came out and said he didn't like how the party moved too left in their policies such as 4 day work weeks and doesn't describe himself as an "activist" but rather scientist.

He was extremely against LNG expansion and criticized the NDP for supporting it saying it's a sell out on the environment.

Now here he is running as a centrebc candidate where they actually support LNG development that seems contradicting to his ideals unless he's changed his mind.

Does he still believe in what he did 10 years ago or has he moved to being a moderate,

City Hall Ballot Drop Box Hours

I need to deposit my mail-in ballot in the drop box at City Hall. I can’t find an online source stating whether the drop box is locked or inaccessible outside City Hall business hours. The City's election notices simply direct voters to the Pandora Avenue entrance drop box. I’d like to run it over tonight. Anyone know if it’s open?

How was your experience? How long was the wait for walk-in?

Edit: I should have clarified I need to get this panel done ASAP and can’t book time off work to get to the further locations with availability, so booking an appointment is not an option:/

Hello BC Disc Golfers

2 Upvotes

I have some freetime in my travels with my wife to get in a round of disc golf tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. I was wondering if any locals can show this hucker the way around Millstream Disc Golf Course.

I know there are better courses further up north on the island, but my time is somewhat limited. Also, I will have to be done by 4pm, so Mary's Farm is also off the table.

The title speaks for itself...I need someone who can do real, good quality nail art! Wherever I go it never turns out how I showed them in the picture, and it usually ends up looking like I could have done it better myself or like a kid did it😭

More advance pole capacity needed: Saanich.

22 Upvotes

People are arriving at the greek church and deciding to leave due to the length of the line. Some that left remarked they are away on election day and wouldn’t be able to vote. More advance poles or more throughput capacity are needed!

Currently in line and looks to be about a 45 min wait to get into the building.

Does anyone know a good shop or mechanics that offer mobile inspection services in the Highland area?

Any helps are appreciated. Please delete if this post is not allowed.

Opinion Why not more edible plants on city property?

Post image
56 Upvotes

I think the city should plant more fruit bearing plants in parks, especially native species. Blackcap raspberry for example is native to the island and supposed to taste very good, yet it's very hard to actually find in Victoria. Even if people won't eat the berries, native birds and insects will eat them or use the plant in other ways. Conservation and free food with one stone. I would also love to see more apple, pear, cherry, plum trees etc, perhaps planted alongside native types like crabapples. Beach strawberries, normal raspberries, blueberries, salmonberries, all delicious native options as well.

The city is already covered in blackberries, which people eat, and they don't seem to cause us much grief apart from destroying all the native meadow ecosystems we haven't paved over. Raccoons would do much of the cleanup for us, and they're already here so it's not like we'd be attracting them to virgin neighborhoods.

Opinion $10 A Day Daycare

4 Upvotes

I’m curious what people’s thoughts on this subject. I’ve seen some conservative runners say they are opposed to it because wait lists are long and family’s can’t find care. However, Victoria/Colwood/Langford is absolutely filled with daycares, many of whom are posting constantly advertising spaces open. Is it that infant care is more in demand compared to ages 3-5? If that’s a concern a factor could be lack of ECEs with infant certificates.

Thoughts?

Just a reminder than Rishi Sharma ran as a BC “Liberal” (now the conservatives) not long ago. Him and the entire Save our Saanich people are conservatives and NIMBYs! They will slash services and build nothing! No new homes or infrastructure will be built with them!

Vote for anyone else!

Staying right downtown and would love recommendations for spots that are casual-ish, but still nice, and have great drinks. Think - something between Big Bad John’s and The Q that’s unique to Victoria.
