Yesterday I watched a group of about 20 people at albert head lagoon get confronted for releasing balloons for a "memorial service". They claimed they were biodegradable so it was fine, and got angry and aggressive with the person who confronted them.

This is still littering. Biodegradable doesn't mean anything when a bird, fish, or sea mammal can easily eat that balloon by accident, choke on it, and die. There is also a protected bird sanctuary less then 5km away on the other side of the beach.

They got extremely aggressive with someone that confronted them. With the men in the group shouting threats, getting in their faces, shoving them, and calling them a lot of nasty words like "Re****ed liberal"

If you were in that group, you should be ashamed. Your behavuour was disgusting and when confronted with littering at the beach you chose to be hostile and use threats of violence to try and get your way.

Lastly, this is VICTORIA. Using liberal as an insult makes you look really really stupid. Conservative bigotry has no place here and your loud mouth spouting off made me go out and vote NDP.

Man you guys wont believe it ,I’m in line to vote and who to i see strut in with his god damn smug head , that’s right MY BOSS . This guy has been wetting my bread for weeks about this election , blasting c fax ,prancing around the office like a jack ass. Now I’m here fired up to vote ,and he comes up to me and tells me im not allowed to have my groceries with me in here and tries to swipe my chips. Enough is enough . This isn’t the office , you aren’t my boss today , pal. Im voting for dell and you can’t do anything about it . see ya on Monday , your gonna be one sad little fat bald man . Get out there and vote guys . No bigots no land barons.

Its been here all day, its been entertaining to see the crows try to start a territory beef and then chicken out.

It’s 8 am and I’m waiting for the store to open for shopping and it’s a huge line of dead eyed cardboard hunter-scalpers waiting for their turn to buy tulip- I mean cardboard. Not to yuck anyone’s yum but this can’t end well for anyone but the Pokémon company.

If you, like me, are interested in what abomination KD has released upon the world you can get it at the Uptown Walmart by the dairy section. This is not a good pop, and I would not recommend trying it. It tastes like cream soda and the smell of powdered cheese. But, I had to try it for my friends and maybe you also want to try it.

Yep. It’s just as good as when I first went this summer.

First time did their pasta tasting. This time we did the à la carte options.

1. Pesce in saor
   
2. Tigelle
   
3. Lingua di manzo
   
4. Agnolotti
   
5. Casunziei

Cuteness overload. 🥰

Fyi, the Petsmart at the Victoria Uptown is having a kitten adoption drive.

I am so, so, so sorry for all the smoke coming out of my truck. It broke down earlier and I managed to get him going just enough to limp home. Im so sorry for all the smoke I made and I actually just sobbed on the whole way home because of how bad it is. Please forgive me :(

Voting has already begun in BC without the release of the Conservatives costed platform which Doerkson says is "imminent". The interim leader says he's seen the platform but wants to make sure they aren't going to promise anything they can't make happen and want the numbers to be right and doesn't want to overpromise such as David Eby's $1000 grocery rebate.

Eby and Lowan released their costed platforms already on what to spend and how to reduce the deficit.

Doerkson pledged to cut income taxes by $1000 for most working BC Residents as Eby said their promises would cost up to 5 billion and have not explained how they would pay for it but says the answer is obvious that they would pay for it with cutting services that every family relies on

I present... 4 municipalities! Barely makes a difference to Langfords population lol

** I got the map off Google and drew lines don't judge

Just drove by Mt Doug entrance off Shelbourne and they had it roped off with a “search in progress” sign. Is this training?

I just had dinner at Hanks* A Restaurant for the second time, and I don't get how it's not more popular?

Last time we went, we way over-ordered, had a little bit of everything and it was all AMAZING! One of the best meals I've had in Victoria in almost 7 years of living here. The food is unapologetically rich, but it's excellent! I also feel like for the portions and the quality, the price is pretty good.

The first time we went, it was the day before brewery and the beast so we kinda chalked it up as just an off night, and while it was a bit busier tonight, I thought for sure it would be impossible to get a last minute table, but the place was still half empty or more the whole time we were there.

TL;DR awesome food, cool atmosphere and music, friendly staff, menu changes frequently but it seems like there are some solid staples. Why is this not more popular? I feel like it should have been hard to get a last minute reservation on a Friday night?
