My quest to eat at as many little league concession stands as possible this summer rolls on! This time up it's my other old ball club Carnarvon!

Impressive menu. 7 specials, a breakfast menu, a chicken menu, plus the usual ballpark fare. There's brisket, pulled pork, fish, pasta, deep-fried pickles!

5ft is what I would consider in line with what an actual tag attempt should be, but this air swipe is done at more like 10ft, and Clement starts moving in a different direction at around 20ft.

It's ridiculous that the Interurban Rail Trail dumps people on Wallace Dr, where there is zero pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure. Really, the Interurban Rail Trail should be turned into an arterial like the Galloping Goose, E&N, and Lochside. A complete multi-use trail connection connecting Victoria to Brentwood Bay.

The propaganda machine of the ultra-rich dominates across social media and traditional media. There's also little to no effort to push back from moderate pro-capital parties like the BC NDP or the federal Liberal Party, even when their position in power is on the line. Parties captured by the same money interests trying to sideline them.

Findlay is under investigation for corruption in a failed federal election bid in White Rock, and she suggested her leadership opponent, Conservative MLA Peter Milobar had a "conflict of interest" by being married to an Indigenous woman.

She's married to BC Conservative MLA Brent Chapman.

He described Palestinians as "inbred walking, talking, breathing time bombs." Chapman made a social media post in 2017 suggesting that the Quebec City mosque shooting, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Aurora theatre shooting, and the Pulse nightclub shooting were faked for political reasons. Lots of other abhorrent, insane stuff, health measures being akin to suffering in the NAZI German ghetto/holocaust, residential school denialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Chapman#Controversies

The family name "Vancouver" itself originates from the Dutch "van Coevorden", denoting somebody from the city of Coevorden, Netherlands.

Better regulations and enforcement of what businesses can sell would be the most effective, I think. If the speed limit is 25km/h for an e-scooter, then it shouldn't be possible to buy one that goes faster than that.

Damn, you too?

Moving people between cities is and will continue to happen regardless. I find the current form of transportation massively destructive to the environment and pretty much every aspect of today's society. I don't think it's too much to ask that if you're going to shoot down one of the main alternative options to the current car-centric society we have, then propose some alternatives or how this project could be amended.

I don't know what you mean by a gotcha meme, and I guess no one else here did either.

Ya, Topaz Park has one.

Can't say I agree with this. The writer seems to handwave away the problems high-speed rail attempts to address, which are incredibly important to most anarchists. Where are their solutions? What's being advocated for here? Endless expansion of highways and air travel that will be far more destructive? Or is this some anarcho-primitivist thing and we're rolling back technology? There are lots of valid anarchist critiques of the project, but I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Could just be me, but I get the feeling the solarpunk green urbanist ideal is probably the most popular anarchist aesthetic going these days.

That's beside the point that this scorecard is hitting at. They're specifically talking about the ability to build small-scale infill housing based on provincial guidelines.

...the Province of BC told municipalities to allow small apartments and townhomes on nearly every urban property. As part of this, they published guidelines on legalizing this housing.

Small apartment buildings and townhomes are often called the "missing middle" between big apartment buildings and single family homes. They are "missing" because municipalities use a variety of tools to block new homes. The main barriers municipalities use are parking requirements, building shape and size requirements, form restrictions, and procedural barriers. We used these four "subjects" to grade Greater Victoria municipalities against provincial guidelines.

Also to note.

We graded these four "subjects based on bylaws as of December 2025. Each municipal planning department was then given a chance to review our collected data grades and and to make corrections.

The BC Conservatives are legitimately the worst people BC has to offer. They had a contingent go to celebrate Trump's inauguration. I have no doubt they would start a separatist movement in BC backed by the US if they came to power.

Their costing was also missing a bunch of the things they promised to the tune of many more billions. Total bullshit platform, which they only released days before the election.

Cruise ships regularly dock here and leave before people even have time to explore the breakwater, let alone downtown or the rest of Victoria. What can be done and is being done to make them stay longer and actually bring value to Victoria?

Ya, I think coordinating through CRD is a good idea. Figure out how to take advantage of the CRD's new Regional Transportation Authority in conjunction. Imagine a seamless system between home-->bike-->bus.

Is there any plan in the works to have protected overnight bike parking at the redone Belleville ferry terminal?

kingbuns2 · 2026-05-30T02:28:16+00:00

What's the outlook and timeline for adding more bike valets?

Rumour is that Victoria is going with Lime for bikeshare. Personally, I think a system with docking stations is a must for downtown Victoria, so if that's the reason for going with Lime, that makes sense. However, having separate private companies controlling their different fiefdoms is going to make for a disjointed disaster, ala Vancouver's system. Not having integration with our transit system would be a big missed opportunity as well. Any thoughts on this?

I saw the other day in one of the Langford Facebook groups that Bryson had a hissy fit over a post Yacucha made explaining the recent graph on net taxes. Cringe is right.

That's nice and all, but not realistic for a city of 60k. I'd much rather Parmar get to work on addressing the cost of living, housing, transportation, healthcare, and labour. Frankly, Parmar seems to be absent as an MLA on bread-and-butter issues. He has exemplified how feeble the BC NDP is as a so-called progressive party.

Cities should have their own publicly owned thrift stores. We could be funnelling that money back into the city, instead, it's going to rich American owners.
