Central Saanich candidates are a joke. Even Zeb King who i might have voted for didn't complete it.

Curators and Exec Directors esp. of small museums have enough to do without this. This is ridiculous. They are being victimized by an elected council. Hopefully these fines will be cancelled and some real solutions can be found. Also hope the community rallies to their support.

Great article! Hope lots of folks read it and see what is going on. I'm a senior and now worried that the right wing & conservatives will jump on this and use it in the B.C. election. I'm voting BC Green Party. They have a position of supporting trans rights.

Totally manufactured by the right wing to cause fear and confusion so they can get votes.

2015-“Steelhead says the National Energy Board has approved a 25-year licence for the annual export of up to six million tonnes of LNG from a proposed floating liquefaction and export terminal in Saanich Inlet.” This was cancelled 2017 due to community opposition.

Here in Brentwood Bay the GVRL Central Saanich Branch was cut back 1 hour last year on Tues nights, was open 10-7 now 10-6. Didn't seem to be a peep from anyone but me. It's the quiet drip drip loss: cla.ca/canada-quiet...

Last time they had 5 candidates for mayor and ended up electing an abusive guy who can't follow rules and now this time they have 6 candidates. This is an improvement? Did they learn nothing?

Already bought two sets of these wonderful stamps. They are so beautiful! Plan on getting a few more sets, they will look great on my holiday cards. Will be enclosing a copy of the article to those receiving cards/greetings so they know. BTW-congrats for this recognition!

Live in the riding and wouldn't have voted for Rob Botterell after going to a meeting, he was weak and indecisive. Lowan is so much better. Goodbye and good riddance Rob. Hello Emily!

'Inaccuracies' about LNG is an ol' political game here in BC. Way back when, Christy Clark and Rich Coleman-LNG 'riches' were based on the highest world price.They didn't bother with the fact that price had already fallen by 50%. She also proclaimed that LNG would solve child poverty'-BS continues.

Wow so impressed! Obviously they have the smarts to run the Province. Bring on the election, can hardly wait!!

Lying about LNG is what politicans do in B.C. It's how they get elected.

Why are we "hobbits"? Like this? "..live barefooted & traditionally dwell in homely underground houses which have windows, built into the sides of hills, though others live in houses. Their feet have naturally tough leathery soles (so they do not need shoes) and are covered on top with curly hair".

No use posting link to blocked article unless you pay. Anyway releasing bad news on a Friday is just another sleazy trick by politicans.

Read that the average saving is around $17 per month or 1.4% of the average cost $1300 monthly of a vehicle. Those billions not collected could be used improve bus service esp. here on Vancouver Island where there is no city to city regular bus service. More buses less cars makes sense.

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Calling it an 'action' talking to politicians seems a little contradictory. Do you really think the Liberals are going to listen? Also as you are going by electric vehicles, they have a significant environmental impact and need roads, bridges etc. as reg. vehicles. I think you are wasting your time.

Isn't that a bribe? She also declared bankruptcy in the past. She even 'fled' her own press conference in her run for leadership when questioned about breaking rules during the 2025 election. She had denied this but choose to flee in a in 'a black SUV with tinted windows' instead. Wow!

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Heard her on the CBC radio this morn, 'On The Island'. She was asked if she was going to increase funding? After a long meandering word salad, she was finally asked again if she was going to? Finally said no-like pulling teeth. She's a disgrace. Total jerk.

i heard that yesterday too....just crap so called 'news'...geez. turned radio off-was trying to figure out my budget! last thing needed to hear rich former PM's daughter gets high paying job at climate destroying Royal Bank.

Shopping is shocking these days. Every time now something has gone up a lot! I have given up buying many items-just do without. Still buying local & stocking up on sales, refuse to buy junk and 'convenience' food. Avoid U.S. products. BTW-very few can afford that small piece of meat in the photo.

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Coroners office is a big problem. There needs to be a big change to accountability not hiding the truth. The Minister doesn't care and is part of this 'cover up'.

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Good signs/banners. BTW-heard interview on CBC, On The Island, with owner of the Dutch Bakery, she equated bike lanes with homelessness as a 'problem'. The interview went political, she basically hijacked it and took the opportunity to bash Council. Wow! Very poor job CBC.

Excellent article. Minister Miller obviously was influenced and made a ridiculous statement in identifying what he called the 'error in curation'. Being Minister now makes him an expert in museums exhibitions? No 'Smithsonians' in Canada! He needs to be called out on this.

Carney's shifty. Lookin for a big job when he leaves office. His 'reward'. He'll be hauling in millions, that's what he cares about. Too bad he got a majority, sleazy deals with opportunists-takes one to know one.

000

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Gotta wonder what 'reward' from the fossil fuel industry Eby is going to get when he leaves office? He can't be that stupid, he is their lackey for nothing? Or maybe he is?

000

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Don't wait for Eby and the NDP. Remember John Horgan sat in his a/c office during the last heat dome and did NOTHING! Then after leavinng office he joined the board of a coal co. Eby is busy pushing LNG. Who knows how he is going to get 'rewarded'? Some cushy position with lots of money?

000

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Really good interview by Julie. Great idea's & actions to protect and save lives discussed. Local politicians have to play a major role in getting their communities equipped to handle the heat. Head dinosaur Eby won't do anything. This is a crisis folks! Organize to save yourselves & others

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Good question. Why are you so uninformed Jeff Bray?? Maybe Better Transit YYJ needs to respond with the facts? It would be a public service and stop the 'fact free culture war' before he opens his mouth again.

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Very good interview lots of info. The more people who know about this 'land grab' the better. The only thing is it will be good when there are more places to have this exhibit and that can be announced as well. Have a good summer Kelly and thanks for all you do!

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

So glad this is happening. Call out those politicians! Build community and take action. Media better give this major coverage. BTW-Local governments gotta start opening the libraries/community centres as cooling refuges during the summer heat crisis-they can do this-make this policy.

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Unfortunately this is getting more common now. The Conservatives starting under Harper promoted moving constituency offices from storefronts to spaces not street accessible behind locked doors-to avoid 'bothersome' constituents and unwanted media coverage. A cowardly move @wgreaves.bsky.social

salishseadrifter.bsky.social @salishseadrifter.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Does he have a storefront office accessible from the street?
