@CHEK_News We should be going to standard time, not daylight savings time. This is an extremely bad decision!

@mattdellok @myDVBA “Most importantly, our new Driftwood Chinese Buffet has had massive line for their first three weeks…” 1.) The Google reviews… which I take with a grain of MSG… are… alarming. 2.) I love my downtown, but there are so many boarded up spaces…

Downtown Victoria is packed again on this beautiful Sunday March 1st. People and families everywhere. Most importantly, our new Driftwood Chinese Buffet has had massive line for their first three weeks. Downtown is the best place to open a new business! #yyj #victoriabc @myDVBA

@Dean_Murdock Incredible Ramadan sunset feast with his worship… @saanich - diversity strengthens neighborhoods.

@CynthiaMD92 “A bit of a generalization on the boomer comment🤣😅😂” I have just retired after almost 40 years - and the quips I get from millennials through Gen X’ers incl. “Boomers… the last generation of people that will be able to retire…”

@CynthiaMD92 “There’s the Wild Bird Store at Shelbourne Plaza…” Twice the price but 4X as nutritious. Funny: last time I mentioned bird food, someone commented… “Boomers care more for birds than the unhoused…” I love a good generalization.

@CynthiaMD92 “many universities have a lot of very pro Palestinian students…” I’ve worked at a University for 30+ years - you are correct. Based on numbers and ratio of students from S. Asia and the Middle East, the sentiment makes perfect sense. We are on the eve of incredible tragedy.

@snufflewort “Breaking news! Blood on the Breakwater now available at #bolensbooks …” Ack. Was there yesterday mid afternoon. It wasn’t in their database.

Breaking news! Blood on the Breakwater now available at #bolensbooks in Hillside Mall in Victoria! #yyj Now I just have to figure out a way to bring my cozy mystery to Vancouver! #yvr #indieauthor #crimefiction

@ChillAsHellYYJ @dewolfe001 We’ll increase progress as we reduce bias and polarization. Shawn has a valid point - VICTORIA has an increasingly elderly base. Heck, I’m 60+. When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I’d cycle an average of 15-20 km daily. Now I can’t make 5 km w/o puffing out. Victoria is not Paris.

@KimberWitch Went out to SHIRLY Delicious once. Arrived mid day… around 1 hour wait. Was hungry. Went back to Sooke. One must arrive early it seems. 🫶🏻🌲🏡

@Eric_Doherty “#VictoriaBC is so much better without cars. #yyj “ I’m 60+ I love my bikes and my car (I’ve owned 2 cars in my life.) Not everyone is able to scoot around on a artisan bicycle. Can’t we all get along without generalizations and platitudes? A world with bikes AND cars is fine.

Government Street in downtown #VictoriaBC is so much better without cars. #yyj

@rosepoptosis “Sunday night sex show with Sue…” I met Sue @uvic - I was assisting her with the multi - media gear…. I was giddier than a fan meeting Mick Jagger… she was amazing, down to earth, no nonsense.

@drumroaster “Sure, you can buy great coffee, but you can’t beat the Drum!” Year after year, still one of my all time favorite cafes, roasters, brewers and bakers of exquisite treats.

@ErikWdV @RaynaRambling @JohnsonStBRDG @ChillAsHellYYJ @winkgrant @ZambrisVictoria @CityOfVictoria “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand the complaint here…” I apologize to the @CityOfVictoria for throwing kindling on this 1st World issue. My dear friend @RaynaRambling reminded me that I don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand the issues. 🤪
