If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high ~~for Canada~~ compared to almost anywhere in the world. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

Slight clarification

I'm from BC and my experience is the same. I will say however I have stayed in hotels and Airbnb's with thermostats/hot tubs set in F. So whether or not that was deliberate, it's a simple setting to change. You could easily get by with F for all your personal temperature needs, just not talking to others about the weather.

For what it's worth, the link appears correct. The title matches what you posted, just not the content.

The title and article don't seem to have anything to do with each other. I'd assume this means they're putting doors on the left side of all the buses exclusively for drivers, but the article sounds more like they're putting doors on a warehouse to drive buses through.

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.
