Whats going on out there? More sirens than I’ve ever heard somewhere downtown or James bay?

The title speaks for itself...I need someone who can do real, good quality nail art! Wherever I go it never turns out how I showed them in the picture, and it usually ends up looking like I could have done it better myself or like a kid did it😭

Yeah but if an odd question but does anyone know where in Victoria I would be able to get the new KD Pop

I know it’s “disgusting sounding” I just wanna try it

I bought a bunch of homo milk for Thanksgiving guests never got used, and does not expire for several more days. I cant drink it. Where can I donate it?

Hi!! Any chance anyone has an extra ticket to the RUSH Halloween event that they’d want to sell? I left it wayyyy too late and they’re all sold out :,( I would super appreciate it and would definitely pay extra!!!

The man behind me at the UVic voting station when asked if he was voting in Saanich or Victoria he answered that he was a "readhead voter" and could "vote anywhere but not for school board trustees" What is that about?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some advice because I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.
I was born in the U.S. but have lived in Canada most of my life. I previously lived in Ontario and moved to BC about three years ago. Until recently, I had no idea that I might have U.S. tax filing obligations.
I’ve tried talking to my parents, but they weren’t aware of this either and keep telling me I don’t need to worry about it. I’m now confused about what actually applies to me, especially since I may have missed previous filing years.

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction:
-Where should I start?
-What documents or information should I gather?
-Are there any reliable tax professionals in BC who specialize in U.S. taxes for Canadians?
-If I’ve missed previous years, what are my options?

I’m not trying to avoid anything; I genuinely didn’t know and just want to figure out how to handle this properly. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Like, older conservative Saanich residents, let me spin my chair and my baseball cap backwards and sit down for some real talk with you for a sec. You don't like me building skyscrapers next to your house so that young people have place to live, and I don't like you pretending to care about individual mature trees so that things can stay exactly the same.

But can we set that aside for a moment, and agree that the concept of having a slate of candidates is garbage?

It insults your intelligence first of all, by asking you to just vote for a brand rather than for each individual who best represents you.

It reduces your choice, because everyone in the slate makes the same ambiguous promises, so they're functionally interchangeable.

Finally, you don't need to vote for them because there are alternatives that represent you. Karen Harper isn't on the Save Our Saanich slate, but she ain't no progressive, she'd represent your older homeowner interests just fine. Same with council, there are plenty of non-slate candidates opposed to development, opposed to bike lanes, opposed to all the same things you oppose.

Can we all please agree that slates suck, and make it known with our votes on voting day so that no one tries it again the next time around?

Has anyone had blood taken at yarrow life labs?

How was your experience? How long was the wait for walk-in?

Edit: I should have clarified I need to get this panel done ASAP and can’t book time off work to get to the further locations with availability, so booking an appointment is not an option:/

Does anywhere in Victoria still offer or sell rapid antigen test kits?

Sorry anglos this isnt for you.

J'ai rien vu en ligne à propos des trois candidats pour conseiller du sud de l'île de Vancouver, mais j'espère que vous voterais pour Bertrand Dupain, l'ancien directeur de Victor-Brodeur. La dernière conseil a couper les voyages internationaux, MONU, et d'autres programmes pour améliorer la vie des élèves, en faveur de mettre plus d'argent derrière la cause juridique. Il faut élire quelqu'un qui veux supporter nos élèves et enseignants, pas nos avocats. Si vous êtes un membre du CSF, vous aviez reçu un courriel du CSF avec tous les instructions pour voter en ligne, jusqu'au 17 Octobre à 20h00!

I have some freetime in my travels with my wife to get in a round of disc golf tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. I was wondering if any locals can show this hucker the way around Millstream Disc Golf Course.

I know there are better courses further up north on the island, but my time is somewhat limited. Also, I will have to be done by 4pm, so Mary's Farm is also off the table.

By cactus club downtown, tons of green uniformed bulletproof vest with dogs and guns. What did I miss 😭

Hi, question for anyone who has a smart car with a soft top, and parks outside.

How has this gone for you in terms of weathering over time?
Do you use a cover?
And if so, do you recommend your brand?

I am thinking a half cover would be smart to protect the top, but want to be sure I buy the right type — with Victoria weather, I wouldn’t want it to trap moisture.

(Ideally I would prefer a regular top, but this is what has worked out for me, and I am happy nonetheless)

Thank you !

It's one of the only things going on in Victoria this Halloween. I have never been there before and just wondering if it's worth it.

These are the candidates endorsed by Victoria’s firefighters. I know where my votes are going. Whoever you support, please get out and vote on Saturday, October 17.

I'm curious about people's views on independent candidates and municipal slates, and how they affect democracy and governance. Thanks, Colette Baty

Hello Victoria,
I haven’t seen much about the school trustees running. Is there a place like the mayor/councillor website to read up on them?

I moved here after the previous scandal and don’t know much about it besides the very gist of something to do with police in schools. Hoping to learn more and make a smart choice. Thanks

By that I mean a person you see around constantly. Someone who shows up in your day-to-day who you are aware of but know nothing about them.

I'm curious if anyone has been to one of these events and what their insights might be. Google just reminded me that I have a ticket for next week and I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. Are there games or group activities planned? Is it just a solo mission? What's the flow and facilitation like? Should I just take up knitting cat outfits and give up on dating?
