I’m going to be one of those people unfortunately unless someone can recommend a better place to post this.

Dude that was at uptown Walmart today around 1pm, short hair, had AirPods in. Me, longer brown hair, glasses, and a sweater with Halloween stuff on it. We passed by each other sooo many times and made eye contact everytime too. Of course it just worked out that we were next to each other at self checkout too. I was going to approach you but wimped out at first. I actually did come back after loading my groceries in the car to see if I could catch up with you but alas, you were gone lol. If you so happen to see this, send me a message!

Transit / Traffic Alert This Small-Town LRT is so Good it Made me Angry

• Upvotes

Connecting Kitchener-Waterloo with a total population of around 600k. Ion Rapid Transit is a 19km LRT built under $1billion in just 5 years. They were able to do this by saving money building on existing rail corridors, and removing traffic lanes instead of extending the roads, on top of a very rigid planning commission. This area has many similarities to Victoria/the Island in general. Not only is the population similar, but the Island has an existing rail corridor going all the way up to Nanaimo. Many people say that its too expensive, and that Victoria doesn't have the population to make it sustainable. However other parts of Canada are showing that it very much is possible.

Politics YOU Need to Get Organized to Fight The Billionaires!

0 Upvotes

To fight the billionaires, you need to get organized.

The billionaires are making backroom deals to prepare for privatization across Canada. They have their own political parties, do you?

In order to fight the austerity on the horizon, we need a party for the working class, a Revolutionary Communist Party.

Come meet us, chat, and get organized! Bring a friend, or two, or three! See you there.

Trailer Hitches & Parking Lots

0 Upvotes

If your trailer hitch sticks out of your stall and into the general lot or an adjacent empty stall I will remove it and throw it into the bushes.

I have done so with three in the last week. If you can’t park properly then take it off.

Thanks in advance!

Basically the title. I am making a move to Europe and need someone to give me some tax advice. I’ll have pension and investment income in Canada as well as European employment income.

Some internet searching has led me to Hutchinson and co, and Beacon Hill wealth management. Does anyone have experience with either firm or have another recommendation?

Thanks!

Looking for recommendations for a budget-friendly place for a good shampoo and simple style (women’s med/long hair). I’m hoping to find somewhere that offers quality service but not premium salon prices (hoping to stay around $40).
Where have you had a great experience and what did you pay? Thank you!

Help Me Find Plastic surgeon recommendations?

8 Upvotes

I recently had a growth excised from my face at urgent care - the doctor left a huge scar and wasn’t able to remove all the affected tissue. She has recommended I find a plastic surgeon to remove the remaining tissue and hopefully reduce the look of the existing scar.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I have to pay out of pocket and find the doctor myself and I’m feeling a little lost.

Best steak ?

4 Upvotes

So I am a very pregnant person right now, and I just found out I’m boarder anemic levels for iron.
i’ve also had a pretty horrendous last couple of months as well, so my spouse said ‘let’s go out for a special steak dinner!’
I’m a former vegetarian/vegan, I don’t actually know where the best steak would be in Victoria, one would think the keg because that’s just what they’re known for but I’m really curious to find a local place, as that is something that we’re both keen to support.

also doesn’t have to be downtown or in Victoria proper but any surrounding greater Victoria area.
thanks in advance for your suggestions and reviews 🙏😌

Transit / Traffic Alert Anyone Know the Adelaide O Bahn? Good for the Island?

Thumbnail

Does anyone know about the Adelaide O Bahn busway in Australia? I think something like this would be good for the Island. I don't think a similar project to SkyTrain would be feasible for the Island and all the stations required would kind of destroy the landscape and lushness of the Island. But if something like the Adelaide O Bahn busway was created where buses can go from street to track in certain areas, it could be quite impactful for the people of the Island and tourists. The buses could have their own busway and travel much faster than the vehicular traffic. Thoughts?

Victoria police are searching for a man accused of following a girl and making inappropriate comments during a suspicious encounter near Blanshard Street and Hillside Avenue.

With Halloween approaching, police are encouraging parents and caregivers to discuss personal safety with children before they head out trick-or-treating.

Police said the youth involved in the incident took appropriate steps to protect herself by leaving the situation and returning to safety.

VicPD recommends children travel with friends or trusted adults whenever possible, remain aware of their surroundings and identify safe places to seek help, including nearby businesses or trusted neighbours.
