Is James Bay the only neighbourhood in Greater Victoria where residents close their windows to escape hours of pollution each day? I'm curious. I've lived in big cities where 7 x 24 smog and general pollution was a definite issue. That doesn't seem to be the case here, with cruise exception.

I'm glad the piece touched on the lack of housing variety (even if at bottom end, shelters), suitable for low-income seniors.

Manitoba is Canada's heartland. I know it as a creative, unique mix of east, west, north, indigenous... when it comes to thought and innovation in the political sphere.

Thanks Ben. People who have a car spend over 20% income on mobility; those who walk bike, public transit, 4%.
Imagine if people downsize from 2 to 1 or 1 to 0 cars. Winning a lottery, 16% add. income every year. Forever!
Where does it go? Local economy, restaurants, hardware, recreation… #ShopLocal

The car industry makes its profit on the financialization of car buying; eg interest on your car payments. More public sharing of that fact and of the financial benefits of life without car ownership would increase good feelings for public transit.

Given the CDC layoffs, I wonder if there will be any local (Victoria) health controls re: disembarking passengers? Perhaps @mattdellvictoria.bsky.social (James Bay liaison) would know?
