I generally think there are way too many municipalities and arbitrary divisions in BC. We could be a lot more efficiently governed, and fairly taxed, if these were ironed out. The more than a dozen entities in the Capital Regional District are the prime example. I hope amalgamation of Saanich and Victoria happens. It should be a first step to merging a bunch more into one Victoria, and maybe other mergers around the province. #BCMuni #BCPoli #UBCM https://www.albernivalleynews.com/home2/victoria-and-saanich-should-amalgamate-public-assembly-final-report-8138996
Great local #Fediverse news and efforts to get Canadian politicians off American SM! #ElbowsUp folks! The Fedi can do its part! Elizabeth May, speaking frankly as she always does! "“I'm embarrassed to say that I started with Blue Sky. I'm trying to stop using Twitter altogether. The problem is I already have 300,000 followers on Twitter and the question is, do they migrate with you?”” Can we get her on #SocialBC :) Councillor @npub1clv3...fsmp championed this! #Mastodon #Bluesky
Today I learned there is a solitary, elderly yellow bellied marmot named Roger that lives at the Fairmont Empress hotel in Victoria, BC. He's not really supposed to be there (we only have mountain marmots here on Vancouver Island), but he's called the place home for 17 years and lives off the manicured gardens. lol. What a life! #Marmot #Bloomscrolling #Victoria #YYJ #Empress #RogerTheMarmot
