Is it a public transit trip if it doesn't include a BC Ferry?

For some general ideals:
Westshore -> Downtown in 20 min or less with 5 min frequency
Uptown -> UVic in 15 min or less with 5 min frequency
Swartz Bay -> Downtown in 30 min with 10 min frequency

Rather than saying "let's build light rail", we need to ask "what gets us better service than driving"

The NDPs (apparent) virtue signal Act working as intended is a real shooting your own foot moment

I was eventually successful by calling clinics and asking if they had their own waitlists. It took less than a week to be connected. I think health connect is useless because clinics have no issue finding patients in other ways

Idk if it still does it, but you could ask it the origins of a made up saying and it would just make up the origins which is pretty entertaining and absolutely not what Google should be doing

Yeah I tried to use one for my thesis research to assist finding specific policies and its response included a citation. When I asked where in the source the response came from it then said it made it up. Don't trust it even if it has "citations"
