“As soon as it occurred to me that there might have been other people who were impacted, I knew I was going to do something,” she said. “I want to see accountability and want to make sure it never happens again."

Boss.

Should spend more, 220m seems a bit low.

Why did you have to look? Now the magic that keeps it all together has been dispelled. :(

The only thing trickling down is piss. People still drink it though.

What an excellent way to further make sure this man never seeks help of any sort from any entity or person he perceives as the government.

IMO the term 'conservative' is somewhat fluid when the topic is other countries. For instance, Canadian/American conservatives/republicans (respectively) wouldn't even think of implementing a tax like that because in many ways they are the bankers.

I thought the first post in this community should be this video.

Cheers!

Funny, I was just going to mention Vietnam; they did the lockdown as it should have been. Closed borders, no gatherings, the whole shebang. And wouldn't you know it; economic damage from the pandemic was extremely minimal because of all the people (read: workers, read: customers) that didn't needlessly die or were permanently disabled.

I will always be salty about how they axed the bicycle lanes on Broadway because "there's bicycle lanes on either side".

No Ken, those aren't bicycle lanes. Those are shared use roads and not everyone is comfortable using them. Those that do are still at risk of being doored because it's pretty much a single lane for most of it.

Fr lol. I overheard the paramedics saying they were in the same place this morning for the same kind of accident, but that guy dislocated his shoulder or something.

I truck pulled out in front of me today, and I side swiped it. Luckily I know how to fall, and most of the impact went into the upper right portion of my back but the truck confused my roll a bit and I ended up with some cuts and bruises on my ankle and knee and a small crack on the back of my helmet. The one day I decide not to wear jeans...

My bike is still ridable but there's some weird vibrations when braking now. I hope the frames not bent... it probably is. The rear brake handle was bent too and I can't shift into the lowest gear. I might need a new bike and I definitely need a new helmet; not a big deal really, ICBC will cover it... I just feel lucky I grew out of the "I know how to fall so I don't need a helmet" phase.

My knee is starting to swell up... tomorrow's going to be a lot of fun. Good thing the paramedics gave some of their ambulance drugs.

I'm gunna miss that bike.

I went to this show in another city, and I highly recommend it. I would also suggest you watch the 2018 film At Eternity's Gate before attending. It will only add to the experience.

They're situated south of Esquimalt Road and east of Catherine St. (355 Catherine St, Victoria, BC V9A 3S9).
