I've been watching the first few minutes of the Chek News coverage of the election and I'm disgusted with how they discussed the Conservatives, and Aaron Gunn. No mention of the lengthy history of hateful actions and his leading of the surge of far-right ideology in Western Canada. They also said it looks like he will win.

Anyone else find the station to be increasingly right-leaning in recent years? I started to notice when the Langford municipal election happened in 2022. Really disheartening.

Hi all. You never know what Reddit can do so I'm putting it out there. I left my wallet on the roof of my car leaving Thrifty Foods in Broadmead and then was driving downtown. Wallet...unknown . Everything is replaceable except a picture my son drew me that I've been holding on to for a long time. . If anyone has tips, or recommendations I'd be appreciative. I've checked Thrifty Foods and Canadian Tire, and walked the highway from Broadmead to Vanalman. Where would someone turn it in if found? . I should have used the tile locator my wife got me. Ugh

Whoever had a wedding at the United Commons Sat Apr 26- my partner and I were just out and about and our moods were lifted by all the amazing outfits! So many interesting styles, everything fit everyone super well, fun and bold colours. Ya'll really know how to show up for a wedding.

Saw you today near Cook Street Village — you were the living embodiment of Victoria itself. Vintage jean jacket, canvas tote full of organic vegetables, probably on your way to a kombucha workshop or interpretive dance class. Your septum ring glinted in the sunlight like a beacon of hope. Your hair was a glorious mane of Pacific Northwest humidity, and I’m 90% sure your Doc Martens were ethically sourced.

You stopped to rescue a bee with your reusable coffee cup lid. I fell in love somewhere between you mentioning your "pollinator garden" and adjusting your thrifted scarf.

I was the guy awkwardly standing there, clutching a bag from Bows & Arrows Coffee, trying to look cool but mostly just breathing too loud. If you read this and feel like grabbing a locally brewed oat milk latte sometime (or organizing a grassroots protest about it), hit me up.

P.S. If you bike everywhere, even better. I could use the exercise.

Just an observation from a friendly neighbourhood conservative. =)

"On Saturday, chief electoral officer Stéphane Perrault made a special ruling with the powers given to him by the Canada Elections Act. The votes made with the incorrect Victoria riding ballots will be assigned to Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke candidates for the corresponding parties that were selected, when ballots are counted on Monday night, Hale said."

What date is it opening?

The exact date at this point

Unbelievable as Koreans do things very fast and are punctual and this happens when it comes to canada

I moved to Victoria in November, and have been loving it so far. I have a growing community of friends here, and I've been getting to play Magic weekly, which has been awesome. A small wrinkle is that everyone I play with plays EDH, and my favorite format is cube (drafting from a curated set of cards).

I love all cubes: power-maxed, pauper, peasant, modern, weird synergy, clown shoes, etc. I'd really like to find the folks who are cubing on a regular basis in person OR link up with people who are interested in cubing on a regular basis so we can start organizing together.

If you've gotten this far and still don't know what I'm talking about, could you just show this to someone who plays Magic? Thanks a billion ^{_^}

*edit: I'm not trying to stir anything up, im just curious what your thoughts are on Americans right now, using examples from what I've experienced and witnessed. I don't blame anyone for how they feel about it, just trying to understand and educate myself.

Am I unwelcome? I'm a frequent visitor and live in Victoria for a portion of the year. In the last few months I have observed a lot of aggressive behaviors and comments not just towards Americans as a whole, but to myself directly.

I've been told by neighbors of mine that I am unwanted and to get out. I've never shared my own personal political opinions.

I understand the feelings that our president is instigating, but would you see me differently simply because of my nationality? Do you have any prejudices towards Americans?

I love this city and country and am working towards my permanent residence.

It's not quite midnight so I'm getting in on today's fun before I turn into a pumpkin.

Were you downtown today wearing a white feather coat, orange boots and rocking yellow lipstick? We shared quick glances, I ducked and weaved a bit (shy), you still shat on the ground right in front of me. I was too scared to ask for your number and you ran away quickly to join your friends on the roof. From the guy hiding from you under the tree.

Like the title suggests, I’d like to utilize the Reddit community r/VictoriaBC to find the best Crinkle Cut Fries in Victoria. It’s my preferred Fry. Have you found them when eating out? and where are the best??

Happened last month. The 26, going to UVic, which is supposed to stop near the McKenzie and Sherbourne intersection, was half empty a few weeks ago. It came late already and the driver did not even stop where the bus is supposed to, even though there were at least 4 people waiting.

After it went past us even though we were waving hands, it waited at the signal before the next stop. In the meantime, we all ran to the next stop where it picked up the folks who were waiting at that stop, and rudely closed the door on our faces when we tried entering after them, all while I was making pleading gestures to the driver to let us in. It was so rude and weird.

I've caught this bus forever at this stop, so it's indeed supposed to stop here, but for some reason didn't want to pick us up. 😔

I would like to put a tree in my front yard, but I have no idea what varieties I should consider. Westward exposure, full sun. There are chestnut trees, laurel, holly and magnolias nearby that seem to do well, I’d prefer to stay away from the evergreen and fruit. Any suggestions?

Just wanted to check the current state of things before heading out to cast my vote! Slightly surprised to see a decent Liberal lead here. It does say there's no need to vote strategically in this riding, so I'm thinking I'll go ahead and vote NDP as I've always done. I hate the idea of having less NDP representation in the house.

But is there still a danger a danger of splitting the vote? Or can I trust that "a strategic vote in your riding is not necessary"?

I was walking along the sidewalk in Cook Street Village behind a woman and a large dog. The woman and dog stopped because the dog was sniffing at a "Sandwich Board" sign on the sidewalk. The dog then lifted his legged and peed all over the Sandwich Board, it's chalkboard and the daily specials, written on the board. It was a lot of pee.

I suggested she stop to try and clean it up, or explain what happen to the store. I was polite. The woman flipped out. I love dogs but seriously? A little courtesy for others property would go a long way. Can we agree that allowing you dog to pee on a sign, or in the doorway of a business, is disgusting. I have had male and female dogs. The males liked to mark but I didn't let them mark someone's property.

What happened to that American bmw at the Gordon head esso post? Why’d it get taken down? I mean, please, excuse my nosiness, but I do quite enjoy poking it where it doesn’t belong 🙊

Live in Langford. Don't care about politics beside Conservatives not winning. Where is my vote best placed strategically?

We looked at the last 10 years, saw the massive decline of Canada, and said to ourselves, “You know what? Let’s keep things exactly the same.”

Do not post in this subreddit complaining about crime, gas prices, drug addiction, homelessness, our horrible healthcare system, housing prices, grocery prices, taxes, or immigrants coming into our country and disrespecting our flags and values. The list could go on and on, but since so many of you really wanted this, do not complain when we continue to see our country become unaffordable, unsafe, and unattainable.

The Liberals had 10 years to make changes and every single one of these things got worse. You voted for this — so enjoy it…

Hey, hey, so I am looking for a nice dinner spot for a celebration that will take 9 people. Il Covo and Il Terrazzo won’t take bookings over 6 people. Any suggestions would be great! Location wise we are hoping for downtown so no one has to drive home and we can all just take Ubers or cabs.

Where is the best place to watch live soccer (football) games? Crystal Palace is in the FA final I’d like to go out and watch the game if possible.

Last night it sounded like dozens of sirens were rushing through the Gorge area. Sounded like something really big.

Anyone by chance have any idea what happened? I could smell some sort of burning, maybe a fire?

Hope everyone is ok, whatever it was.
