Christina HaskaCelebrated national film day!Universal Language was, as promised, utterly surreal, but it was also so much funnier than I expected. I literally cried my eyeliner off! This is one of those flicks that can only be made in Canada, and boy are we all the better for it. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CanFilmDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanFilmDay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheVic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheVic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yyj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yyj</a>

calvin 🛋️ Super short notice but there's a housing rally happening downtown at Victoria City Hall April 17 at 12 noon.<a href="https://victoriatenantsunion.ca/media/2025/04/16/rally-better-tenant-protections.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://victoriatenantsunion.ca/media/2025/04/16/rally-better-tenant-protections.html</a><blockquote>The rally has been organized by the James Bay Coalition, which has collected over 1,000 signatures on a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/urge-victoria-city-council-to-save-what-we-love-about-james-bay" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">petition</a> that calls on the city to adopt a “right of first refusal” tenant protection policy similar to that enjoyed by renters in Burnaby, prioritize affordability over density, and protect trees and green space. The rally will also call for better compensation for renters displaced by development.</blockquote><a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.sphericalcow.space/tag/victoriabc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.sphericalcow.space/tag/yyj" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YYJ</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.sphericalcow.space/tag/housingcrisis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HousingCrisis</a>

braydenwiseVery nearly got erased from the planet by someone in a Bromobile on what is normally a very quiet side street (essentially one lane) in my neighbourhood. Took me a minute to kinda process what had happened.

Christina HaskaThere is just something so very special about hearing a play reading of a work in development, and this had us rapt from moment one. A look at the immigration experience of an artist through the genre of magical realism, we laughed, we cried, and we all got really frustrated at stupid bureaucracy.

Westcoastmaven 🇨🇦I hate downtown Victoria. Went to my watch repair shop on Johnson St. today. Seems Cool Aid has moved in very close by. Three groups of junkies using within 100' of the watch store. Not comfortable walking along the sidewalk beside them. This is right beside one of 3 main roads in the main shopping area. The final insult: the watch store is closed on weekends. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yyj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yyj</a>
