Sukhi Dhami for Mayor of Abbotsford is promoting 'Priorities over Politics and People before Policy.'

I don't understand the - 'Priorities over Politics'. According to Wikipedia the definition of Politics Politics[a] is the activity of settling affairs in an organized society. [1] Politics is usually concerned with resolving issues within a society via a government. [1] Politicians are individuals engaged in the activity of politics.'

Does this mean that what's important to him will override the governance of Abbotsford?

And 'People before Policy'. Will Policy that governs Abbotsford be ignored to put some peoples actions above it?

I've looked at the and still don't get it. Does anyone here have any insight into the campaign tagline?

Priorities over politics.

People before policy.

I’ve been missing this dish so much, my Russian neighbours used to make it before they moved and always gave me some. Anyone know any restaurants making it? Grocery store where I can buy Russian stuff specifically the mayonnaise? I tried once to make it myself and it wasn’t quite the same

Anyone here going to the Bruno Mars concert? Kinda wanna ask to ride along otw back to Abby since I dont drive yet 😭 I’ll contribute gas + mcd’s drive thru on me!

Does anyone know what was happening here? I saw a lady on the ground. It looked like she was getting arrested.

I can't eat diary products cuz it gives me bad acne. And recently I've been craving brownies or anything with chocolate in it 🥲 but I can't find any restaurants or bakeries that make vegan / dairy free desserts in Abbotsford - Chilliwack area. Do you happen to know any such place around? Thank you 😊

I dunno man, I just live here

In two months (Dec 11), it will mark four years since 38-year-old Marc Ellis was hit by a car and killed on Lefeuvre Road after stopping after midnight to save a stray dog.

The occupants abandoned their 2019 red Dodge Ram at the scene and fled.

Authorities believe the driver and passenger attended a party nearby prior to the crash. The business owner the truck is registered to has refused to cooperate. People in our community know who was in that vehicle.

If you know who was there and are staying silent, how do you live with that decision?

If you hold religious beliefs, what answer will you give when you eventually stand before your higher power?

By staying silent, you are actively protecting those responsible and denying a grieving family answers. You carry that burden every day.

Please do the right thing. You can submit information 100% anonymously through Crime Stoppers or local police.

End the silence and help bring closure for Marc

Sorry I know this is random, but does anyone know a good place to just let out some emotion and scream? I lost my father in May and even with the counselling and medication everything is still so hard and I just want to take some time to be able to just scream and let it out without people just being able to stare and judge thank you

Hi everyone,

I was wondering where I could drop off some books I’m no longer using. They’re aimed for youth/young adults. I’d prefer to not give any money to value village, so I’d love to donate them to those “take one, leave one” community libraries or to a youth shelter.

Thanks :)

If anyone here knows someone named Tessa Thiessen, can you let them know they dropped their credit card in the Willband creek trail.

They should report it as lost asap to lock it down.

I will dispose of it safely.

Others, with their big, obnoxious, stupid signs, not so much.

I know it’s under new ownership which is the biggest reason for this. But man I wanted to give them a shot. I really miss the in depth journalism from Tyler, both Graces and Joti. There was a large sense of community and hometown journalism by people who really live and breathe the Fraser Valley. It really felt like our communal news.

The original reporting is just not there with this new crew and the pulse on what’s happening in our region is non-existent. I wanted to give it a chance but the way they’ve outright neglected to cover anything about our local elections leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I felt so much more informed in the 2022 municipal election cycle because the FVC did great in depth reporting clarifying each candidates‘ policies and positions. This year? I’m relying on platitudes politicians are all giving on their socials and luckily on the helpful analysis of fellow redditors here. But overall, I feel so much less informed this time around because the local news outlet I relied on is a shell of its former self. Overall, this election cycle felt like a big test for the new group and I feel they failed to meet the moment.

I don’t know. Call this a rant. Call it a lamentation. I guess I just missed the old FVC. Thanks to those who read this. Just felt like airing out some frustrations and was wondering if anyone else felt this way.

Bit of a minor topic, but I am curious with demographics how many Sabaton fans we have locally .

I find based on events at the Rogers Forum that there doesn't seem to be the largest metal scene locally and I am left wondering how much that is venue promoters thinking there isn't a market here and how much is there actually isn't a market here.

It was a bit of a trip back and forth after work, but I think it was worth it, sore the next day I will tell you that.

So how many other Abbotsford residents were there?

Whats with this lane?

Why is nobody using this?

It clearly says cars, yet its always unoccupied.

Last few times, I took the courage to take this lane but somehow when you reach at the end, there is no lane 🤷‍♀️. The lane just disappears and forces to merge to the other lane.

Just an idea, if someone would like to go for skydiving in the near future?? Ive never done it myself yet, but just something id like to do.

Specific location pls or a Moroccan grocery store would be appreciated. Thanks

Looking for someone local who makes meat related snacks, or sausages/Salami as I have a garlic, onion, spice and lactose allergy and looking to get them custom made.
