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.

WE HAVE THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA POLICING COSTS IN B.C. the police budget increase is 5.06% of our 7.28% budget - how the fuck is that "going down the path of defunding the police" What. a. Tool. #yyj #yyjpoli (From here: www.timescolonist.com/local-news/v...)

I saw an actual VicPD Traffic stop this morning, in Victoria - whats even happening.

news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202... - The NDP are only doing this to distract from the fact people wanted it and voted for it #bcpoli

Ahhh spring - when the weather is beautiful, the plants are happy, and i am a miserable allergic mess.

Hey. sorry to hear about your mental health problems, but it could be worse. You could be a convenient distraction for a group of pedophile billionaires and politicians.

Friday Bonus Cartoon!

it's always hilarious hearing Gardiner make these sort of statements when her first instinct is running to the TC if she isn't getting the sort of attention she thinks she deserves - She also prolifically wastes council times with endless individual motions. #yyj #yyjpoli bsky.app/profile/pent...

Questions i ask myself every morning as i navigate the #yyj goose trail closure: Why, given two narrow paths to direct traffic down, do they direct all traffic down /one/ narrow path?

www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/23/n... - that headline tho #bcpoli

Yes. Please. #yyj #yyjpoli

Unsure if it's the CRD or @victoria.ca doing brush clearing on the north side of the trestle: Your flaggers suck - Maybe standing in front of a "Stop and Dismount" sign placed so that pedestrians can block it in a cycling heavy area is a dumb move if you want people to see said signage.

woops #yyjpoli #bcpoli

This decision will add an extremely interesting dynamic to the 2026 municipal and schoolboard elections - consequences. abbynews.com/2026/02/19/f...

Late-breaking news — the Chief clarifies that her initial assessment did not account accurately for the proposed request in 2026 in Victoria. If it gets approved, our per capita cost (for the combined Vic-Esq) would be over $700, meaning we’re back in first place in policing costs.

… i’m really tired of seeing “on accident” - no, American, it’s BY accident.

... Enjoying the General "Oh, it's not that bad" reactions re: the B.C. Budget. Have we learned anything about doom spiraling? No? OK - See you next 'crisis.' #bcpoli

🤦‍♂️

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinfo... #bcpoli - a single link (with cited sources!) is all that is needed to dismantle most of the far right fear mongering happening on social media right now around Tumbler Ridge..

These fucking ghouls out here layering hate onto tragedy for their own disgusting political purposes. The shooter's gender identity doesn't fucking matter. It only matters to sick fucks trying to exploit a mass tragedy to drive an agenda of hate that will kill more kids. Monsters, all of them.

Yeah but if the rumours are dispelled what will twitter "Independent journalists", people who wear billboards, disgraced staffers, and that one MLA ecstatically salivate over?

Marg Gardiner’s opinion piece in the TC today is really something. “Council needs to listen … to MEEEEEEE.” 1/3 #yyj #yyjpoli

We’ve entered a period of (primarily) right wing online message hunting - i usually only notice because there is an increase in startling bad takes as they throw stuff at the wall to see what gains traction - two examples from reddit re: Bike Lanes

Yessss. It'd be really cool if this could start a broader discussion on decoupling our car standards from the U.S. and strengthening Transport Canada - Lets start requiring automakers to consider pedestrians in their designs.. #yyjpol #canpoli

Good morning everyone. We are kicking off Thurs Feb 5 COTW from the Saanich Room of the Victoria Conference Centre today. Mayor Alto's land acknowledgment points to how the meeting is now held on traditional clam beds.

... is this the signal for the deployment of the Communist 15 minute city pro-bikelane anti-car lasers? #yyj #yyjpoli

saanichnews.com/2026/01/31/l... Oh man, this article hits all the "as an avid cyclist" concern trolling check boxes along with a lot of deeply cynical language usage. "I raise these concerns from lived experience"😅 in an anti bike lane post? talk about cheapening a phrase, wow. #yyj

This will be fun - i wonder if they'll run the loud and proud antisemite again? #yyjpoli

victoriabuzz.com/2026/01/rece... - Honestly the bigger point in this poll is that an over whelming majority (70%+) Support Fixed, Mobile, or Intersection speed Cameras.. #bcpoli #yyjpoli
