#VictoriaBC It's time to submit draft budget feedback to the city, and once again it is a good year to tell the city not to approve a ridiculous increase in the police budget. This time the draft budget tries to inflate the police by pulling funding from arts, events, neighbourhoods, climate action, affordable housing, DEI, and more. Terrible!
DefundVicPD has some great talking points and all the details about sending your feedback:

Sorry that was depressing and everything is already terrible. I would normally post a photo of my goats, but they are far far away right now.
So, here are some very happy goats in Victoria we found yesterday, happily eating Christmas trees.
If you have time you should head out to My Chosen Cafe in #Metchosin, just West of #VictoriaBC . You can have some great pizza while admiring the goats and the disco chickens!
Looks as though a new bakery is opening on Broad Street. Anyone have any details?

Coffee and Contemplation - 7 1/2 hours of work. I am almost done. Just cups, boxes of tea and other small things.
Coffee and Contemplation - 6 1/2 hours of work. The last hour was mostly spent on drawing those little postcards on the green wall.

I'm at the fiddly (but fun) background details stage of things.
Aww this is a sweet and uplifting little video about how my city tripled its bike mode share in 10 years. Interview with a senior transportation planner with the city and so many bike pov shots on AAA paths.

A little downtown street photography while Christmas shopping yesterday.
It's been very rainy of late. I haven't gotten out much, but this evening I had a chance to get some photos of downtown Victoria in the rain.
