My Reddit and FB are both locked down pretty tight.

I made a similar comment on r/victoriabc that had very positive engagement... but also a fair number of racist bot replies. Which always always always happens when posting about racism on Canada on that subreddit.

I've noticed increasing anti-immigrant sentiment and outright racism aimed at South Asians in local FB groups and the local subreddit, r/victoriabc.

Anyone else from #yyj know why Used Victoria has simply disappeared from the internet with no explanation?

There’s a Reddit thread with more questions than answers and I’m confused. www.reddit.com/r/VictoriaBC...

A new Sidewalking Victoria article is up and it all about transit shelters new and old. Maybe also a little bit on placemaking and community building too. Have a read and let me know your thoughts!

It's kind of amazing, I live over 4km away from Trial Islands, but can hear the Sea Loins and seals like they are just up the block.
