The City of Victoria needs to drastically rethink downtown. Victoria needs much higher density like downtown Vancouver, with 30-to 40-storey high-rise condominiums and rental buildings, perhaps with affordable or assisted housing in the lower floors. I have asked my MLA to provide the provincial government’s studies on the impact expanding the work-from-home regime will have on downtown Victoria.
Insisting that all public servants commute downtown, increasing pollution and making traffic worse for everyone, just so that some of them might buy an overpriced coffee with what little discretionary spending they have, is ridiculous. But in the 1970s his son, Premier Bill Bennett, along with Education Minister Patrick McGeer, started funding for private schools by creating the Independent Schools Act. The name of the act was a farce because as soon as private schools accepted public funding they were no longer independent.
Now, just as the government funds public health-care, social services and income supports, it makes sense to show more support for public education and discontinue funding the more than $600 million it gives to the private schools.Bike lanes, street patios make Victoria better I took the bus or biked to my downtown job for all my years in Victoria.

If this behaviour has no impact on the outcome of the game, then it just becomes “my God is better than your God” trash talk and should be banned as unsportsmanlike conduct. In purely religious terms, breaking the 10th commandment by coveting their neighbour’s success doesn’t seem like behaviour that would please most Gods.
