OK - I didn't quite pick up on the significance of this section in the screenshot because of the tone difference between "Province" and "province" #bcpoli #yyjpoli The Province in this took action separately from the Ministry of Education. Who was apparently aware of, but didn't disclose, the Texts.

cheknews.ca/sd-61-truste... #yyj #yyjpoli - So uhh.. No mention of Del Manak at all eh? He seems like one of the major 'changes' in all of this.. right?

Two Victoria Police vehicles were involved in a crash at a downtown intersection on Friday morning, and the department says the intersection will be closed for "a period of time."

This Thursdays CoV Council meeting will have easily one of the most consequential council member motions put forward TO DATE. Bigger than bike lanes, bigger than the Safety and well being plan. #yyj #yyjpoli Thank you Councillor Hammond.

ok. now please do something about it. #bcpoli #yyj

At the second annual Pandora Street Bike Lane birthday party — the lane actually turned 9 years old — the attendees brought and signed a lovely birthday card for the bike lane. I put it up in the foyer of Victoria City Hall. Long live novelty-sized birthday cards to municipal infrastructure!

Victoria's protected bike and roll network is 9 years old! Beautiful day for a celebration. Kudos to previous Councils for getting Victoria started on safer spaces for people using bicycles, electric wheelchairs, and mobility scooters. #yyj #safety

www.timescolonist.com/opinion/comm... - Someone needs to do a history on “BC municipal councillors running to news paper comment sections whenever they don’t get their way” #yyj #yyjpoli

Radio head is genuinely awful.

For the Record: my fucking allergies.

A man has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act in connection with a fatal crash that killed a cyclist in Saanich last summer.

Not that it specifically matters for me any more (since i’m perma banned from the Meta stack..) but i’m /really/ worried about the insistence that Facebook is where discussion/campaigning is going to happen for the 2026 Municipal/School board elections.. #yyj #yyjpoli

The B.C. government has just introduced legislation to create a streamlined approach to deal with mayors and councillors causing dysfunction. It's a moderate improvement, but won't solve the biggest issues. I'm not working today, but here is a brief overview. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

Today is about visibility, dignity, and the right of every person to live openly and safely as themselves. I’ll keep standing up for people who are marginalized, keep calling out discrimination when I see it, and keep pushing for a world where everyone belongs.

THEY REMOVED THE BOLLARDS AT PANDORA AND STORE! 🎉🎉🎉 #yyjbike #yyj Thanks so much to @victoria.ca staff - amazing change.

... Good news for the NDP - #bcpoli

globalnews.ca/news/1174246... We're far to lenient on drivers. It's amazing to me that you can modify your vehicle in such a way to make it dangerous, kill someone with it, then have your charges downgraded to a none criminal fine of $1150 and 6 points on your license.. #bcpoli Disgusting.

Today in B.C. Social Media outage - People Doom and Gloom about Moving from "Rated as high quality and very low credit risk. " to "Rated as high quality and very low credit risk. " #bcpoli

Hey - if it was good enough for Caesar…. America..

Judging by the insanity that is Gladstone/The Hanami market Victoria really needs a lot more markets.. #yyj - Maybe the Romeos/Fisgard Plaza needs to be a permanent market space?

… i’ve now been “well aktshullied” twice today for making an offhanded post about two local councillors being allergic to tax increases and seemingly unwilling to make cuts. Hopefully we aren’t reaching mastadon levels of pendanticness.

NOW Marg cares about statistical validity? She cares about it when it applies to the deaths of homeless people - but not with the MNP report? or Transport Canada noise studies? Cruise ship emissions? ಠ_ಠ #yyj #yyjpoli

Approve the Community Safety Wellbeing Plan passes with just Gardiner opposed.

Dell: Proud we kept almost all our social services and grant funds. Happy we didn't have to cut $ to community centres.

... it has been "118" days since council relitigated council pay.. #yyj #yyjpoli

🔥🔥🔥🔥 #yyj #yyjpoli

FFS - We have the second lowest tax rates IN CANADA #yyj #yyjpoli - We have only two councillors who go with this line of rhetoric consistently and my god i'm sick of it.

Marg "Doge" Gardiner over here asking HR levels questioning about performance reviews - Also i vote we give back that two minutes of talk time if it means i don't have to listen to Marg struggle through 'fast talking' every point she makes because she can't be concise. #yyj #yyjpoli

... Is there really no mechanism outside of recall that will stop/discipline Armstrong's repeated attempts to introduce targeted/hateful/racist legislation? #bcpoli

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

I’m in Council and staff are presenting on our Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan. 1. The total number of unsheltered homeless on Pandora has reduced to 25-30. 2. City objective is to reduce encampment, enable housing, ensure safety and services. 3. Commercial vacancy rates are DOWN in 2025 Q4.

cheknews.ca/fernfest-can... - well that sucks :( #yyj #victoriabc - Victim of their own success i guess.

Hey @christineboyle.bsky.social - time to step on Oak Bay for being dumb again

… had all my meta accounts banned/disabled today - neat.

YAY! #yyjpoli - @davethompsonvic.bsky.social and @mattdellvictoria.bsky.social 's motion to prioritize the 'gap' in the Pandora street bike lanes to Oak bay junction and Shelbourne passed unanimously after Gardiners bid to defer failed.. (I bet we'll read about how awful this all is in the TC btw)

... Imagine being fired and replaced by a guy named "Markwayne"

lol Marg is unsurprisingly 'put out' by this (extremely supportable) Councillor Motion.
