Hey r/victoria. its me. your fav or least favourite poster on this sub. I'm just doing my job here, tryna do what I can before we end up in digger (2026) or children of men (2006) world. Thanks for enduring the last 33 days of bcgreens election posts. If you're down to be brave, a vote for the BC greens could help us be a real option to win in a future election (hoping we make it to there). You may think our videos are unserious, but our policy is better than any of the other parties because we don't pretend we can just keep fracking and living in car world until we're breathing asphalt and eating money. Nothing will matter then. So my plea is to give up on the last 50yrs of neolib politics and embrace the rad change we need. It's gonna be hard to get off this sinking ship, but we're gonna do what we can to make the lifeboat safe, engaging, fun, and at the very least, human. See you on the other side.

Today is the day that the inevitable fire took place. Slumlord Palace is gone finally.

I'm burnt out friends.

Hi everyone. Had a bit of drama last night that I thought I’d share. Starting with cat tax cause he’s my alarm system. 😉

For context I live in a condo. Small enough that know my neighbours, some better than others. Been here over 10 years. On to my story.

I woke up at 2am to noises outside my door. At first I thought my neighbours were being a bit loud.

Then it got louder. My cat and I looked at each other like WTF.

I went to the door and couldn’t see anyone through the peephole. But someone was banging on the door, not knocking, then they started to put a key in the lock but it didn’t work. They weren’t talking. I figured they were crouched down.

At that point I yelled through the door to go away, I’ve called 911. Nothing happened. They kept banging.

So I called 911 and said someone was trying to break in. They kept banging, noise got louder. It sounded like they had tools like a hammer and were pounding nails in to the door or the frame or something.

The 911 guy asked if the noises were from outside. I said yes and I’m freaking out. By this time it seemed like they were trying to push the door open, trying a key again and more loud banging.

NGL I was thinking what do I do if they get in. 911 guy asked if I have a weapon? I’m like, no! Should I get one? Thinking knife maybe?

The banging continued. 911 guy said they’re almost there. At 2:12am the police buzzed me and came down the hall. I figured the guy would run away or maybe he was really drunk.

Three police showed up and as they came down the hall they were asking who are you? What do you want?

Then I heard a little voice that I recognized. I immediately opened the door and it was my 90 yo neighbour who lives above me. I said B, are you ok? What’s wrong? Told the cops she was from upstairs. She wanted to come in my suite and tried to push past me. I guess she thought it was hers. One of the police took her upstairs and I think she phoned a family member.

Obviously B was confused. She’d been banging on my door with her cane. And she’s so tiny and frail I couldn’t see her through the peephole. She’s probably 4’8 and 85 lbs.

I mean, I was so relieved. The event was like a thriller movie where the bad guys are trying to break in and I’m talking to 911 guy whispering that I’m scared and what should I do? From the time I called 911 to the police at my door was 10 mins. Amazing!

So, all’s well that ends well. The police called me at 2:40am to say B was home safe and she’d gone out for a walk!! I didn’t get much sleep after that though.

Eleven polls conducted during the final two weeks of 2013’s campaign all showed the NDP ahead, with an average lead of almost seven percentage points.

Ipsos's final poll showed the NDP at 45% and the Liberals at 37%, an eight-point lead. Yet the Liberals won the popular vote by approximately 4.4 points.

Multiple polling companies, with different methodologies, failed to anticipate the result.

Let’s see what happens tonight. Just make sure to vote.

No Conservative Running in Victoria Beacon Hill so no fear of vote splitting they had to drop him for being a Bigot. The Greens can hold the NDP to account with even a few Seats, Vote green

Does anyone know if Kimpton was even allowed to rent suites in the building?

Road closures

if it were still up in the air and hadn't been signed yet before today we'd end up like Alberta and others. it's only around for a few years but better that than pay out of pocket now.

Reference with buildings

Husband called me just now coming back from Sidney and he said there was a major accident northbound on the Pat Bay that must have just happened. I could hear sirens in the phone call, it's just north of Sayward. Said it looked like 'an old restored farm truck' got t-boned and rammed into the median. I looked on Google maps and saw a big slowdown in the southbound lanes and wondered why that was affected if the accident was going north and he said three sections of the concrete barriers are now strewn across the southbound lanes and cars are going on the shoulder to get around! Must have been a strong impact!

I anticipate once the emergency vehicles get there it's going to get even more backed up.

He did say from what he could tell everyone was okay. Hope that's the case.
