Quite the discussion in this thread about the term "Pacific Northwest" in reference to Victoria BC.
I'm inclined to agree with the dissenters. PNW is an US term that sometimes bleeds into the discourse here, referring mainly to Oregon and Washington.
Few Canadians would call Victoria in the PNW.

I’m surprised to see a few people bothered by the term “Pacific Northwest“.
I get that it’s not as used here in Canada, and that not everyone in ON/QC will recognize it.
But apparently there are people in BC who reject the term.
