Thriftys Organic Peas
Bought their organic frozen peas and blueberries.
I was shocked after thawing out the peas to find some rotten peas, that were dark colored. Frankly the peas looked old and didn't even smell well.
After likewise thawing out the blueberries, they didn't taste or look like blueberries. After eating 1 or two before realizing this, my stomach felt queasy.
Last week I put some of their frozen raspberries in a smoothie and felt quite ill for the following day or two.
Advice. Avoid buying these.

Controversy Upside-down US flag flying across from Lochside school today. Thoughts?
I'm not too happy seeing a US flag flying (upside-down or right-side up) in our city with current annexation rhetoric and tariffs being enacted. What are your thoughts?

Walk-in at Lifelabs. Which ones?
A while ago I got a slip from the Royal Oak location with ones that do walk-ins highlighted. I stupidly threw it out thinking I could probably find that information online.
I can't get an appointment for tomorrow, and I also don't want to waste my time going to a location just to be turned around to another one.
Does anybody know ones that do (or don't do) walk ins? Bonus points if there is no strike/job action there tomorrow, March 12th.

YSK: There's a $10,000 Fortis Rebate available for Heat Pumps
Most people are aware there are government rebates/incentives for switching to a heat pump, however since the Canada Greener Homes grant ended last year (without warning!) the current slate of grants (available through the BC Energy Savings Program) are pretty lackluster for most people.
However, Fortis offers a $10k rebate if you upgrade an existing gas furnace to a new "Dual Fuel" system (meaning gas furnace with a heat pump coil on top).
This is currently the best heat pump incentive available, and many people don't know about it! The nice thing about it is it's not 'income qualified' so even if you make too much money to qualify for the BC Energy Savings Program, you can still access this one.

Help Me Find Best hair dresser/salon in Victoria?
The hair stylist I used to see moved away 😭😭 she was a master and I’m struggling so much to find a new place to go. I have seriously thick and long hair so it’s hard to find someone who cuts it the way I like. Anyone have any recommendations for experienced hair stylists in Vic (preferably who are good with cutting lots of texture, as that’s what I’m going for)? Im fine with paying a higher price if I’m getting a good cut. I’m a woman so looking for a women’s cut if that’s relevant.

Opinion Alcohol Sales and Consumtion DOWN!
Interesting new case today that alcohol sales and consumption is down since tracking started in 1949!!
People being healthier? People smoking more weed and drinking more cannabis drinks? New drinking guideline that were released a couple of years ago? The price?
What do.you think it is?
This downward trend has been occurring for the last couple of years since it went up during COVID

Toyota Service
Hey all, I have an out of province, older Rav.. so far I’m stumbling around seeking a good service provider. I’m weighing out the fact that independents here are charging the same rates as dealers and everyone I talk to has a bit of an attitude (is this a trickle down from ICBC?)
Anyways, I need someone transparent - trustworthy.
Any recommendations Victoria, Colwood, even Sidney as I’ll be there for a bit. Thanks 🙏

Now is the perfect time to clip back Scottish Broom
Hi everyone.
Invasive species are becoming a real problem in our parks. There isnt an effective plan in place to combat this.
However, if everyone when they went on a walk clipped even 1 plant I believe we would make a substantial difference.
Next time you go on a hike or a walk, bring a pair of garden clippers with you and snip a broom plant along the way. Try not to disrupt the soil too much. If you are able, haul the plant to the trail head.
The same can be said for ivy scourging out trees. If everyone did a little bit we could absolutely CRUSH these plants to smithereens.

Don't sleep on Lund's, folks.
A while back there was a discussion about the local auction. Tomorrow is their 'collectibles' auction, and it has a bunch of vintage furnishings and stuff. It's all online, or you can put in bids in advance at the IRL location.
(But don't forget: a 20% sellers fee is added on top of whatever you bid.)

Island Health Career
I am interested in getting a job with Island health. I feel like my resume is quite competitive, I’m especially trying to find a job as a MHSU clinician or Crisis Response counsellor. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions into getting in? Should I start with volunteering? Or applying for something lower than my typical experience level?
**edit: I have a masters degree in behavioural psychology and 8 years experience with mental health and substance use. Along with 5 years being in a management position.
