One of the reasons I prefer reporting on local politics instead of provincial politics is that in local politics, people talk like actual humans, while in provincial politics, people talk like robots coached by communications advisors. Which brings me to this week in Victoria.

My advice to graduate students (and everyone else): Snack with chopsticks while at the computer to keep fingers and keyboard clean. They're great for chips and nuts.

Big criticism is having 8 lanes of single occupancy traffic. Mayors want to see better options for transit in a replacement project. – at Burnaby, British Columbia
