Here's a thread with an annual reminder that VicPD is overfunded and overstaffed. VicPD likes to say it's a special exception as a "downtown" police force, but they cost more per capita than every other department in B.C., including Vancouver. #yyj 🧵

Guess what 67% of British Columbians have in common? They see themselves in the political centre. #CentreBC is for the majority who want to move past extremes. Join us in making balanced, pragmatic, evidence based solutions the norm.

Public Hearing coming up likely Dec. 1/2- would be great to hear voices that are concerned about the process followed here to speak up. Addressing the false dichotomy between what the mayor proposed and “massive densification” is important. This is not an either/or, and the process is at issue.

The number of these new family vehicles in #VictoriaBC and Paris has soared in the last decade. So nice! #yyj
The new family vehicles of Paris. I think that if a Parisian cycling activist came out of ten years of hibernation and went into the street, what would seem most unbelievable to them would be seeing all these bikes with childrens on the back ;)

Breaking news for the hardcore fans of my Breakwater Mysteries! “The Sinking of Souls” has a brand new creepier cover featuring Craigdarroch Castle. This means if you have the old cover it’s now a collector’s item! #bookstagram #yyj

Nerd thread alert. Woke up this morning and started skim reading the provincially commissioned independent review of E-Comm 911, the body that handles 911 phone calls and dispatches.

Let me relate this to the police budget in #yyj, and #bcpoli more broadly.

Just a cancer warrior sharing the picture book she wrote after losing her hair to chemo. “A Gnome With No Comb” features a bald girl gnome hero going up against the sometimes scary Beetlebub! It’s got a theme of inclusion! #cancer #yyj #alopecia

OMG THERE IS AN INDIAN GROCERY STORE DOWNTOWN! Yay!

They have produce too!

Masala Mart is at 1010 Fort Street. Didn’t have time to visit as I passed, tho. #yyj

Peace is precious and fragile. I'm grateful to see so many fellow Victorians at today's #remembranceday ceremony. Proud of my grandfather, who fought the fascists of his day. #lestweforget #yyj

I did two one-night trips to Vancouver in one week and that's enough big city and BC Ferries for me. I'm hermitting on the Island for the foreseeable future. #YYJ

Just got home from @zerowasteemporium.bsky.social in #YYJ
Bulk unscented detergents, hand soaps, witch hazel, nut butters, rice, pasta, biodegradable dental floss, scrubbies! Plus lots more. Just what I purchased the last two weeks and it’s walkable from home. Bonus!

Hey #yyj #yyjpoli this shit is roosting right here at home.

It felt weird to speak in favour of funding book prizes in the city budget by raising literacy as a way to avoid political extremism (deep reading teaches empathy). But now I think I didn't go hard enough?
1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties.

Oak Bay continues to willfully stagnate, unfortunately. #YYJ #OakBay
At the meeting of Nov. 10, multiple motions were made to try to return elements of the OCP that the public had input to. All were rejected save one- affecting a grand total of two properties. The design now moving to readings removes nearly 90% of the potential housing that the public weighed in on.

I am so willing to pay a bit more tax for youth bus passes and bike & roll infrastructure. However, I am concerned that the police budget seems to keep taking a bigger and bigger slice of the pie. More police and bylaw officers is not an effective or ethical response to homelessness. #yyj
