I only remember going to Harvey's once, probably because the only one I ever saw was inside a Home Depot, but it seems like they left BC completely quite a while ago.

I haven't worked in many places with a walk in freezer, but the several I have all had alarms in them. Not automatic, but if the door was stuck there was a big red button next to it that would set off a siren and flashing light outside.

Yeah, these crown-corp/government owned corp systems are run like a for profit business because they aren't funded enough to run like a true public service. On the flip side this is exactly why governments do it, they can say, "hey we gave them $x. It's their problem if they can't make it work, not ours."

I don't have one of these so I'm not sure, but couldn't you leave the default network as-is for the tvs to work but still plug in a separate router for everything else?

This is such a weird riding. You can't get from the Western Communities/CRD side to the South Cowichan/CVRD side without passing through a different riding. The new boundaries across the Island are all kinda weird. Another good example is Ladysmith Oceanside, another one you can't get from one end to the other without passing through 2 different ridings.

I'm not sure which riding makes less sense, this one, or Ladysmith Oceanside.

This is a good thing, but why aren't people giving the "discount" brands a shot? I use Public Mobile (it's been fully owned by Telus for years) and I have 50gb that also works in the US for under 40 bucks/month. I can't think of any reason people should be willingly giving these companies twice as much money for less service.

Ironically, her analogy works way better for her own party than it does for whatever she's trying to say.

I can think of several times one of my coworkers was guilted into showing up when they tried to call in sick which ended up with 5 people calling in the few days after.

Isn't there a huge difference between safe supply and safe consumption sites? I agree with safe consumption sites if it keeps people from dying on the streets, but if the safe supply is allowed to leave the site it's not really solving any of the problems.

I don't think the original story would've blown up if that was what she was initially charged with.

The original owner was the car dealership that's now selling them. So officially, they were stolen from the dealer, but it really sounds like they were stolen by the dealer from their own customers
