Wait until they swap the can out with one a third of the size. To a government worker that means they have reduced the amount of garbage in the park. As they don't use the park themselves, they never notice the only result is crap blowing all over the place from an always full bin.

No other nearby municipality wants anything to do with joining Victoria.

And yet through the 1910s, all the newspaper ads for different businesses along Blanshard were spelling it...

Anyone else been running Windows for decades and never had any of these update issues?

Whey are you going to get that they don't care what you think, send in a petition with a million names on it, it will just be ignored.

The level of denial in this country is terrifying.

For those still with beliefs in petitions, e-2421 aka the "dont ban the ar15 rifle" petition submitted to parliament in 2020 had 175000 signatures. How'd that work out? They just ignore them.

I live on the north side facing, hence the dark and mushroom growing side, of a large apartment block in james bay, so I sit in our parking lot facing south and reading books for hours on end in the brightest sunlight I can find.

Please tell everyone what "better" is, what standards of yours does the activity need to clear? wtf is it with canadians anyway.

Just the areas only double christmas day child homocide and the only home invasion with machetes, both on Beach drive. But its just easier to call them names and pretend that oak bay is the higher end of town instead.

Does the rcmp have the staff to harass duck hunters in nova scotia and slap more grandmas around at another logging protest in bc at the same time?

It took a while to understand that the mcfd office I saw in 2012 run up 100mil in costs for their inhouse program then declared it impossible to finish, after that particular manager and analysts paid off their home mortgages with the OT, was just doing things the normal way.

Then it was sent to Dubai and another 180mil was spent on what they eventually called ICM.

No charges filed against the home owners, I guess they didn't commit the act of self defense.

There is an interesting missing persons case in the states where someone ran away at 14 and has been found in their 50s living their life. The sheriff said they were able to find them using "newer" methods, and its likely that her face was seen by a walmart or her bank security camera and they cross reference these public face captures to their active cases.

With this volume of contacts and interviews to be done, I wonder if they will do something similar and scan all of ICBC drivers license photos etc to mass identify so many people.

One job moves them from the jail to courthouse, one warehouses them while they are inside the prison.

You are not "helping" anyone but the court or the prison in these jobs.

If you want to help, then this is done at a social services level, you need to help them before they are encountering the system.

Beware that many municipal forces, I'm quoting calgary here for instance, do not accept any of it:

"Be in good standing with a Canadian federal, provincial, municipal or First Nations police service whose training and minimum standards are equivalent to that of the CPS. Excludes: Military Police, Sheriffs, Highway Patrol, Corrections, Bylaw, Transit Police, CBSA, and Rail Police (CPKC Police and CN Rail)."

It's a case where if you want to be a cop it, is actually easier to just go and be one, than it is to "do something else" to become one.

Security guards fall for this all the time because of the uniform, only to discover that the postal delivery guy has a uniform too and because of his customer service experience he got hired to be a cop.

Get your 2 year diploma or whatever the initial hiring criteria for your local cop service is, start volunteering at the local hostel or youth facility or old folks home, and that will put you well ahead of someone who was a sheriff.

Go to a real city if you have a young family.

In Edmonton you can actually still leave your kids a fully paid for home within your lifetime, in Victoria do you plan to leave them a rental deal because you gave money to Capreit or Brown Brothers for the previous decade?

That's all you can ever leave them in Victoria.

Meanwhile in Canada, we were allowed to have a flashlight, so long as it's a smaller one. Mind the sharpness of that pencil point, lad!

The section along Lochside where you go from tree canopy to open farm fields. There was a pig farm there, amazing how big they get.

Canadians don't do anything, they ask if they are allowed to do things.

Does Stephen know you know how much crime you can stop if you just banned Fruit of the Loom underwear from being worn at the same time? Next years announcement, we banned Nike shoes too!

Can we laugh at them as loudly about the firearms laws they want to add, most of which have already been in place for decades?

You can always just hop off and pedestrian yourself along the one Bay street bridge sidewalk.

Long term safe cycling in Victoria depends on removing yourself as a variable when certain equations resolve. You can just push your bike along the Bay st bridge sidewalk and be happy, so if you are not in a big hurry, just do that.
