Those of us closely following and reporting on this were repeatedly turned down for follow-up interviews as RCMP were lining up an interview with a reporter from outside the province. There are a lot of gaps that would have been filled by someone who knows the history and area.

Amazing long read on the dangers and difficulties of driving logging trucks. "The driving conditions are too hair-raising and the constant pressure to exceed maximum hours to ensure that the logs are delivered are too intolerable to continue for much longer, he says." #bcpoli

Homeless people sleeping on your apartment complex because it’s safer and there is more shelter is not a crime wave, it’s a humanitarian crisis.
"A wealth tax, aimed exclusively at Canadians with net assets above $10 million, could raise $28 billion a year — enough to seriously enhance key social welfare programs, according to @ccpa." Thx @LindaMcQuaig for shout out on this! #wealthtax #cdnpoli thestar.com/opinion/contri…

And this group of 5 bullshit. They all won on the same agenda because, let me check notes, that’s what Victoria wanted in a council. Not Better Victoria who couldn’t get their shit together and had the handle @BetterVictoria2 😝😝😝
It’s funny to watch Stephen Andrew and others run the opposition like they are some shadow council standing up for the “real” Victoria. The guy had double the budget of Alto and lost by a huge margin.

It's not odd, it's irresponsible and bad governance.
It's odd we're not tracking shelter rate housing. There are more than a dozen housing needs assessments and annual housing reports in Greater Victoria, yet none are tracking net changes in shelter rate housing. The province requires housing needs reports. /4
@coaching_yyj @Eric_Doherty he specifically didn’t like the inclination of “streets” in the motion (which given the rest of the motion heavily implies AAA but he ran ahead with what was in the clip, even given both staff and the rest of council explaining..)
Shelter allowance = $500 One-bedroom apartment rentals are at least $2,000 monthly in Victoria. Vancouver? Worse. The math doesn't work. We need a MASSIVE increase in income assistance (great idea!) or something called 'shelter-rate housing." /2 cheknews.ca/victoria-renta…
