I'm always impressed by Sarah's articulate understanding of the issues we face in Oak Bay.

Happy to see a funding commitment from the NDP on this! It's been sitting vacant for something like six years now, and we haven't come close to building anything since Council killed the last proposal in 2011.

Congrats to @dianagibson.bsky.social for her successful advocacy!

Did you know we have an oceanfront dump in James Bay in Victoria? It’s on private property, so there’s nothing we can do about it. It smells awful, leaks an unknown fluid that smells like a combo of poop & vomit that drains into the ground. Not to mention — rats. Don’t we have bylaws? #yyj #yyjpoli

Former councillor Eric Zhelka is going to bat for Kevin Murdoch on Oak Bay local. #yyjpoli #oakbaybc

Not a single *accomplishment* listed as far as we can tell on this flyer from Councillor Cairine Green, who has served 3 terms and wants a fourth. Putting on reading glasses to take another look 🥸. #yyjpoli #oakbayyyj

Let's talk about waste management. #yyj #yyjpoli

Great article shared by someone on Reddit looking at the ramifications of amalgamation in Ottawa—a warning of what might happen if we pursued the same thing in Victoria. I'd rather not be held hostage by the Save Our Saanich demographic: leveller.ca/2023/02/stuc... #yyjpoli

We had a wonderful all-candidates forum tonight, organized by the Community Association of Oak Bay.

Here’s my parting sentiment: I think I was a bit more eloquent, but this is an excellent summary. #yyjpoli #OakBayBC

Grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the Oak Bay All Candidates tonight!
I think it’s very clear which candidates have a vision for Oak Bay. I find it unfortunate that Mayor Murdoch used his time to spread misinformation about my answers to the LivableCRD survey.

... Lets leave him unmentioned because he's a blow hard and doesn't deserve the recognition, but, Somewhere there is a definition of "Confidently and loudly incorrect" and it's this guys picture. Woof. #yyj #yyjpoli

www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/va... #yyjpoli #yyj #victoriabc 'The chief of the Victoria Fire Department is dispelling apparent “myths or rumours” from a civic election campaign, which he worries could mislead voters about public safety.' 🍿

Our first all-candidates meeting, focusing on truth & reconciliation. It was wonderful to be able to speak on some important questions and to hear many candidates go beyond platitudes. #yyjpoli

That's a wrap, everyone. Organizers close by inviting folks to re-read the TRC Calls to Action and the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit People Report annually. #yyjpoli #bcpoli

Murdoch says he's proud of the foundational work that's been done, knows there is more ahead. Takes a dig at Holland's platform. Holland says his reconciliation platform will be released on NTRD tomorrow, asks us to "consider who has a vision" #yyjpoli #bcpoli

Starkweather thanks everyone for attending, says it's unfortunate there are no Oak Bay events tomorrow. Will be at @capitalbike.ca Reconciliation Ride to the Powwow at Royal Athletic Park, invites people to reach out. #yyjpoli

Starkweather talks about education, humility, demonstrating that we are a trustworthy partner. Braithwaite talks about making some progress, says we need to ask Indigenous people what would make OB feel more welcoming - so they feel they have a "genuine place in our community." #yyjpoli
