Victoria actually gets a lot less rain than Montreal and less than Toronto too. We're a unique dry spot in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and get about half of what Vancouver gets.

Average annual rainfall:
Vancouver: 1119.2mm
Montreal: 834.9mm
Toronto: 714.0mm
Victoria: 583.1mm

Yep, they're everywhere! My bedroom windows looks out over one of the busiest bike intersections and I see one go by around every minute or so. The video below was taken at rush hour.
Happy birthday to the Pandora bike lane!

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
They're very abundant on the island, but they're actually an introduced species that isn't native anywhere in BC so not really fitting as a symbol of the province.

This might be the best photo I've ever taken and I expect it will win some pretty significant awards. In the meantime, feel free to make it into a meme format. #shitonyourenemies
“Includes bird sounds”.

Eager to know what David M. Bird sounds like.
My new butterfly ID book is written by John Acorn! Obviously acorns are not butterflies but close enough.
Fully agree, except that you could buy a lot of very luxurious toast with $100 so I'd be kind of excited by that tbh.
California quails are sooo cute. I don't even care that they're not native. I love em.
According to the Motor Vehicle Act, crosswalk rules only apply to the butterfly's larval stage. Once in adulthood, they're required to follow Transport Canada's aviation guidelines which don't say anything about crosswalks.
hey that was gonna be my next one
Taking all my besties out for a ride around town.

We need a party rooted in:

🟠 Moral clarity - on climate, oligarchy and genocide

🟠 Solutions as deep as the crises we face

🟠 Public ownership, massive reinvestment in universal services, transfer of wealth from the top to everyone below.
P.S. looking forward to your 2026 extension to Begbie/Shelbourne and Oak Bay Ave.
Happy birthday to the Pandora bike lane!
Yes! I’m hoping for next weekend. I’ll send an email later today! 😊
I haven't even had cable for a decade and the one and only thing I still know about TV timeslots is that Jeopardy follows Wheel and I had assumed this was a universal truth that has existed since the dawn of time.
