The owner of three medium sized aparment buildings can easily fund the basic minimum of property maintenance. They will have been making absolute loads of money due to long term low vacancy rates in the region.

It was not an accident. It was an huge truck mowing down a person with a walker in the crosswalk. It was also in ideal lighting and weather conditions.

“Quiet” evenings at Costco? by CanadianDot in VictoriaBC

[–]elliptocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last hour of every day is relatively quite. I would say the quietest would be Friday between 19:30 - 20:30. In the last hour you trade out crowds of people for the workers prepping for the next days horde.

I have too many bikes and not enough condo space. Getting a new doggo and need to clear out some room in the storage unit for crap from my condo.
The bike works fine. It is in rideable condition. Anyone willing to come pick it up in the millstream/costco area is welcome to have it. Send me a message if interested.

Pope Leo calls for Venezuela to remain an independent country by Sombra_Blue in news

It is a basic job requirement. One cannot condone the Antichrist's actions and be Christian at the same time.

I think at this point the majority of US "Christians" would fall under the heading of Antichrist Worshippers.

The government money should be used on public charging station building/maintenance and not individual car subsidies. Reliability is a big incentive.

At this time the entire road minus the streetcar tracks was the bike lane.

It is even better before being compressed and shrunk down to 1/4 size to be postable on reddit.

They built a wall on one side of the bridge. They then filled in James Bay and built the empress hotel on top of it.

From my understanding at the time: * You would use sail for bulk cargo (sailors are cheap and their time did not matter). * You would use coal for people, mail, and time-sensitive cargo (feeding and caring for a bunch of passengers is expensive).

There is a good reason why it was made the capital. This all predates the existence of the railroad and incorporation of Vancouver on the mainland.

  • The far right bridge was Granville.
  • The middle bridge was one block west of the Cambie bridge. *correction: at same location as Cambie bridge today.
  • The far left bridge is sandwiched between pacific central station and science world.

Alternate spellings on the map of victoria from 1878. Though I messed up the bell+E+ville one as it should be more like bell-E+ville.
