It's extremely upsetting to see someone walk up my front path and snap an entire branch off of one of my dahlia plants. The audacity.

If you know this person, please tell them to do better.

I think this one will be the next to Burn. It is at the corner of Douglas at Chatham.

I was interested in attending the Slow Burn Dating event at the Royal BC Museum last week but wasn't able to make it.

For those who went, how was it? Was it well organized? What kinds of activities were there? Was attendance fairly balanced between men and women?

I'm also curious about the age range, whether most people attended solo or with friends, and whether you'd go again in the future.

Island bus requires booking a day in advance, so I guess I'm just stuck up here for another day. If we aren't going to get a train, we at least need to get reliable bus route, this is absurd.

What are some good places for a big steak dinner? It’s a birthday dinner, but we’re also kinda poor so… maybe not the most expensive place around lol 😅

Somewhere downtown or at least not too far out of the area would be the best since we don’t have a car. Thanks!

Edit: to clarify on price, I just mean no crazy expensive, hundreds of dollars for a wagyu kinda place, should’ve been more clear there. Just one person is getting a steak. The $70 range is fine, under would be great, a little over could be worth it.

BC Ferries CEO has been let go.

So many clouds...but there were a few spaces between them.

Progressive ideas are great. I've been a progressive voter my entire life and will continue to be. I'm upset that the NDP lost as well.

But our democracy demands compromise and finding common ground with people that hold different values. It is VERY apparent, based on the endless stream of threads in this sub, that many in Victoria feel that something that was theirs has been taken from them. You're not allowed to be offended by losing something that never belonged to you. Politics isn't won and lost. It's a conversation, not a contest.

If you woke up this morning acting like the government of BC somehow became your enemy overnight, it's time for some serious self-reflection on how lucky we are to live here and have a role in choosing our own government.

Hey everybody! My friend and I want to be Christina and Meredith from Greys for halloween and we’re hoping to thrift some scrubs or get some for cheap- anybody know where we can get them in Vic?

How did it pass fire inspections? Were there working sprinklers? And since it is now demolished so soon after, I'm assuming there will still be an investigation as to cause. Firefighters took a defensive position, understandable, but what about news reports of missing person?

Robin Kimpton is in Van now. Will he be investigated? I hope. I've met him, and he is an ornery man with little care for others. He was renting suites illegally. Was the city aware of this? And no, this was never a supportive housing site. Just a vacant hotel owned and run by a slum lord.

Hi redditors! Looking for a quiet pub in downtown as my wife is retiring, has hearing aids and would like to be able to hear conversations without shouting.

Let me know.

These guys were at the confederation fountain yelling at the totally empty street this morning. Apologies for the poor picture quality, I didnt want to get any closer in case they tried to talk to me. I assume racists by the outfits?

And they only took out a few wires and trees branches.

Someone did Victoria a Favour.

After telling CTV that “The challenge in responding to these accusations is that there are also many fake posts attributed to me, generated by people looking to attack me” Wendy Bowkett has now deleted her X account, effectively scrubbing the evidence.
