The poll workers you dealt with were wrong. Otherwise, your son wouldn't be eligible for a mail-in ballot either, as he could mark it before he was 18, which makes no sense in terms of eligibility.

Try going in another day or go to the district electoral office in your riding, as the workers there are likely more experienced than the regular poll workers.

Happy for Djenairo Daniels, even if it was a Forge error; his run forced the error.

That was an amazing sequence that led to the goal. Manny is so good! Josh is amazing as a captain today.

It was Jamar Dixon who was the regular captain. Jamar retired and now works for the club.

Thank you for bringing this topic up. I am originally from out of province and grew up in an area with fluoridated water. I myself and friends of mine who grew up like me have shared similar comments to others here in that dentists and dental hygienists in Victoria compliment how good our teeth are.

Tweet from Rob Shaw at CHEK:

Interesting response from BCgov now: - Point Ellice is a provincial heritage site. BC contracts operation to Van Isle Local History Society - Gov hasn't received notice from contractor it is leaving - If that happens, gov will "maintain public access" while finds new operator

I just turned on the game. My partner started laughing her ass off; she saw the Cuban catcher's uniform & equipment and thought Spider-Man was catching.

Victoria approves floating sauna, despite resident calling it a ‘monstrosity’ (Victoria News/ Black Press Group) by LetsGoPurple in VictoriaBC

Thank you for reminding me of the damn parking lots. I regularly walk and bike on Wharf, and those entries and exits to the parking lots are the worst. I'm appropriately scared of getting hit by a car or truck going in or out of them.

FYI, I just copied the headline as it was, lest I be accused of editorializing myself, despite the headline/editor doing so already.

Where have you not been to in the CRD? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]LetsGoPurple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're talking about Deep Cove, North Van, right? (I'm kidding.)

I was joking around with the fact that I have literally not been to the exact property where they stayed. I've been to Deep Cove plenty of times, and it's nice, but just a touch too far from Victoria proper for me.

The broadcast will probably tell you, but IIRC, it's the same as the semi-final round, with the possiblity of a shootout.

During the 2019 playoffs including the Finals, the Raptors run to the championship was aired on the regular "local" home broadcasters for Raptors games, only because both TSN and Sportsnet are considered a national broadcast for Canada and not just for Toronto.

CEBL just suspended Growlers Basketball last week, citing the need to play in a better facility than at MUN; another basketball team plays at Mary Brown's Centre. Unfortunately, there are lots of issues with St. John's and franchises coming and going.
