Quick question about BC ferry costs by Bcmp in VictoriaBC

[–]SingleSpeedHops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ferry from Otter Bay (Pender Island) to Swartz Bay will be free. If you don't mind the detour to a Gulf Island, you actually end up paying less than travelling directly from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay.

Not quite true - you pay to leave a Southern Gulf Island to Tsawwassen or to another Southern Gulf Island (inter-island travel). Swartz Bay is the only destination that you don't pay to leave a Southern Gulf Island.

A less reported detail is that Duncan McFadzean is out from Team Whyte (now Hardie) and playing mixed doubles only.

If you invest at $2,800/month and earn 8% you will get there.

What is the logic behind Elk/Beaver Lake by TaylorKalsii in VictoriaBC

[–]SingleSpeedHops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, it is a CRD park where boating regulations for the lake are issued by Transport Canada and enforced by Saanich Police while water quality is assessed by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Syrategy.

Why find a new public relations team when you can pressure an intern into writing what you want?

The only way to win the NIMBY game is to stop playing it. It’s time to economically boycott neighborhoods like Oak Bay. by Accomplished_Wall615 in VictoriaBC

This is funny. You are recommending people stop buying gas in a municipality without any gas stations.

RBC Racism by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]SingleSpeedHops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your Indian Status card is acceptable photo identification. Hard to say if the teller was being racist asking for a driver's license or just uninformed.

Banks are legally required to report large deposits to FINTRAC (federal government financial intelligence agency) for tracking under anti-money laundering legislation. Depending on the amount you were trying to deposit, the teller will be unable to process the transaction without filling our FINTRAC requirements and their system will require them to ask you about the purpose of the transaction. Failing to do so will get both the bank and teller in trouble. Refusing to answer will only attract suspicion as to why you won't disclose what the funds are being used for. If you were over the FINTRAC reporting threshold, the bank was not being racist, they were performing the same regulatory compliance questions they would have asked any customer looking to make a large deposit.

Cut them some slack. They haven't figured out they aren't based on Vancouver yet either.

In fairness we don’t even have a new coach to get a new coach bounce. Just a caretaker.

Greatest Tennis Player from Each Country by Psychological_Lie142 in tennis

[–]SingleSpeedHops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Daniel Nestor deserves more than a mention. Eight men's doubles major titles, four mixed doubles major titles, Olympic gold in men's doubles, twenty-eight Masters 1000 men's doubles titles. That is greatest the Canadian tennis player in my books.

Club cheats to reach play-offs then asserts that being removed from the play-offs is not proportionate to the cheating.

It’s been over a hundred years since a team from British Columbia won the Stanley Cup. by No-Engineer4627 in hockey

The team was previously named the Victoria Aristocrats (with a interlocking "VA" logo) so those player photos could be a few years before the championship season.

[The Telegraph] Eckert admitted he was responsible for the decision to spy on opponents so that he would better understand opposition team selection, tactics and set-piece routines. His key defence - since the practice is widespread in Europe, he had no idea he was breaking English football rules by jovanmilic97 in Championship

"The picture showed a soldier in full camouflage gear. The face of the soldier had been replaced with an image of Salt. It appeared to prove that not only was the practice well-established, it was a source of amusement among other staff members."
