$3.5M to be spent on bylaw and police enforcement

The announcement comes on the heels of a number of violent incidents across the city within a 12-hour period on Sunday.

Police said in a statement on Monday that a business owner was assaulted by a man unknown to him around 6 p.m. on Yates Street.

A man was arrested shortly after the attack and taken into custody by Victoria police but was later released on conditions, police said in the statement.

On Sunday morning, a man with a weapon threatened the Victoria Fire Department building on Queens Avenue, preventing the firefighters from entering the building to attend to a potential fire. He was subsequently arrested, police said.

Another "stranger-on-stranger attack" on Yates Street Sunday involved a man who assaulted a victim with an "edged weapon," Victoria Police Chief Del Manak said.

The victim "ran into London Drugs to seek refuge for their safety," Manak said, and the alleged attacker was subsequently arrested and was held in custody pending a court hearing.

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

League ‘hopeful’ to add 2nd expansion team ahead of next season

The Professional Women's Hockey League will expand to Vancouver and begin play next season, the league announced on Wednesday.

The decision to expand to Vancouver had been rumoured for weeks, and was finally confirmed at a press conference in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday morning. The official announcement was made by a local under-11 girls' hockey team. The girls crowded around a podium, waving signs to show how badly they wanted Vancouver to get a PWHL team, before announcing the news.

Vancouver was chosen as the seventh PWHL franchise after an eight-month process that saw expansion bids from groups in more than 20 cities.

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"

Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)
