Where I live in Canada we have a requirement with a specific start and end date for highway driving because our overpasses are through mountains and get very snowy. No requirement in the city though, so I could run unstudded winter tires year round as long as I don't mind destroying them in the summer heat.

 

A fight was filmed at the Two Eagles Golf Course in West Kelowna. Allegedly the blue shirt and cohort hit into the other group, causing the confrontation.

Not my video.

My riding last election was tied 50/50 liberals NDP and yet even adding up all those votes conservatives would still win. I assume a lower con and higher lib turnout this time around but honestly I can't be sure, I think the con voters here are lifetime.

Seriously. In BC it's 50km/h outside school hours (8am-5pm) or days. Unless signed otherwise, but I've never seen one different.

 

A man on fire was seen running onto the Bennett Bridge Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. The bridge was briefly closed while emergency personnel rushed the person to hospital.

This city is really starting to feel like one, huh.

I can't speak for coffee, but I know several good local tea shops! Still not as convenient as the Starbucks on every corner, sure, but often better.

Cool to see some brands I already use on here. Speaking of, I kinda thought everyone used Sun-Rype for their juice anyway. I mean, I am biased as I've been by their HQ multiple times so it just feels natural to buy their brand, but still.

The business I work for had flights, hotels, and rental cars booked for some of our employees which have to be rescheduled for several thousand dollars, not counting the later overtime from running late at the job site. I am quite happy to sit at home but I don't envy our admin team right now and I can only imagine the impact to other people and businesses.

 

A van has parked itself sideways, blocking the Eastbound lanes. RCMP has closed both lanes of traffic due to a suspected explosive threat. Current estimate for re-opening is in the afternoon after a bomb squad has arrived and inspected the van.

Update: Bridge has re-opened as of 2:25PM

Not sure if this is really a genre as I have only seen one artist make it, but almost anything Apashe released 2020 and beyond. It's a blend of orchestral and EDM/trap. I am unsure if this mix has a name or if it's just "Orchestral EDM" or something.

A few examples:

This is a double-edged sword! I find online events will often be scheduled to coincide with 3-6 PM EST as people get off work, meanwhile that's 12-3 for me and I am still working dang it.

 

The forum will occur today (Sunday) from 7-9PM at Killiney Beach Community Hall, 514 Udell Road. A live stream will be available at nwcaonline.ca.

Perhaps if I platform on banning Albertan drivers I may have a chance.

 

I live in the West Kelowna-Peachland district (side note, did that change from last year?) and Elections BC only lists BC United and BC Conservatives¹ as candidates. If another independent or party does not step up, does this mean I simply don't get a choice this election?
