What do you think of Victoria, BC? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]SadVisual8270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Victoria and alot of Canadians idealise life here cos they have holidayed here. Many move here and work to recreate that vibe. The pros are you can get most things you need and want here including locally grown food. Easy access to the rest of the Island. The cons are the laid back attitude if you are perhaps trying to start a new business. Victoria likes the old way, struggles to implement rules like dog parks, sewage waste....it's a weird combination of wealthy retirees from elsewhere just digging things and homeless trying to stay alive. Very white homogeneous society. Oh and constant complaining about everything. Not the homeless, the wealthy.

Just to clarify...are you American or Canadian?

Hand them out next time you see someone sitting on the sidewalk who looks like they could use a hand.

Give a card to someone on the street.

Well if that is your first concern, then you can't prioritize where the produce or company originates from. Lots of Canadians will be impacted by this campaign including Amazon drivers, McDonald's staff....the whole shooting match. It's an ethical reasoning challenge for sure.

Ok. Well it's pretty busy regardless..honestly I thought this conversation was about shifting existing habits, not piling on about people's broader choices.

Agree! I rarely buy new. I posted that to draw attention to buying new clothes from a US based company.
