M/Cncl in their twisted ideology; prefer crime and attacks upon residents and biz (so long as no one especially police, report on it) ; to #cheapskate citizens patronizing d'twn biz. But hey, we're *vibrant* eh? #YYJ
#YYJLowValueCouncil
So what is logical progression of No #Cheapskates allowed in d'twn YYJ? Will it include: 
random demands ala border crossing guards, to show ur wallet, search ur phone to justify ur purpose in being here? Being denied entry if you don't produce >$50?
Will enforcers (who will do this?) be converting the Cdn/USD exchange when making their determination?
50.00 Cdn =36.7389 USD Mar 07/2023
no #CheapskatesAllowed in #YYJ
A woman has detailed her frustration after her boyfriend labeled her a “ #cheapskate” for refusing to spend her lottery winnings on a list of things he wants, including a house with a swimming pool and a Tesla.
ProTip to #YYJ M/Cncl
Critics called her a ‘cheapskate’ and mocked her money-saving strategy, but there were also plenty of fans who hailed her a ‘genius’ for the tip and couldn’t wait to try it out for themselves

Bear with me #YYJ folks, got a bit of a thread coming on. Cumbersome, cutting and pasting... and a glitchy computer to contend with; so I'll unroll at end.
working title: I don't think Matt Dell and I are that different
I don't think Matt and I are so different. We both dream of and desire things for our beloved city of #YYJ; that bring joy to ourselves and to our neighbours, now and in future

Help me #YYJ. I'm curious about t/ HumberGreen proposal to include Transit passes.
During the Feb 09 CoV PH re HarrisGreen, didn't t/Starlight rep, when queried on that idea by a cllr,  give a very cogent reply as to why that wouldn't be doable? 1/
2/ It's a 4 hr meeting, and not available via text, (pet peeve of mine) so I'll have to wade through the entire vid to refresh my memory on the specifics
pub-victoria.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?I…
3/Also, doesn't city bylaw 80-159 still require min # of off street parking?
Shouldn't we amend bylaws if needed *before* approving variances?

The Maskless Masses
A Fri. eve tale (I'll unroll it at end for ur reading ease) Chapter
 1/ I'm so angry at all 'pretend covid is over folk'. Tho' that anger is aimed in large part to health officials, this eve it's the unmasked public to whom I direct my wrath. Let me explain:
2/ I was forced to visit LDrugs in person for an urgent Rx. 
I really didn't want to expose anyone else and my RATs all week have been neg. but I really had no choice as w/out the meds, my precarious health would be further at risk.
3/Waiting for 1/2hr, w/my always worn N95, coughing almost uncontrollably as dozens of pharmacy patrons. all unmasked (presumably ill/vulnerable) show zero level of alarm, or don a mask even to protect themselves.

Dear *everyone* in BC: if you don't already do so, you really must follow @PoP_BC for their expertise (and sharing of it) re: Covid

Healthcare workers & researchers united to provide accurate information on COVID and support evidence-based health policy #PoPBC

BC rec'd 140,000 free doses of Paxlovid, and have used only 10% - rest are in warehouses...

I have a serious ? #YYJ #YYJPoli . We're all debating/arguing #housing- what is the best path to get the results we want? BUT - how can we possibly agree on best route; if we haven't even discussed where we want to go? 1/
2/ I mean, really... think about it...
What is our destination?
What do we want #Victoria #YYJ to be now and in future?
How big?
How dense?
How many people?
3/I'm sure we can agree, that the need for housing keeps increasing, both from:
current residents (and I'll add former, who have been forced out)
AND rising demand from ppl wanting to move here to enjoy the west coast life style, climate.
