US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store

The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers

“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”

Saanich News · U.S. produce wears out welcome with Victoria grocery storeBy Liam Razzell

The anniversary of my Dad's death from #covid cardiac arrest is coming up again in June. If anyone wants to support me & my family with our remembrance of my Dad & also help support us in long battle for justice from unmasked #SaanichPolice - please add me on your Signal - phoenixserenity.54

I'd like to compile a bunch of audio messages & any kind of artwork for this year's ceremony of beloved remembrance for my Dad. He died after getting infected by unmasked staff in local hospital. Unmasked cops, including the lead cop, Jason Whittaker - who is president of the SPD union abused us. I also want to compile something to let Saanich PD know - I am not fucking letting this go.

Please record:
Fuck you, Jason Whittaker & add whatever you want to rest of audio recording.

Please create Fuck You, Jason Whittaker or similar messages to #Saanich Police & tell them what you think of their antimasking egotistical loser of a 'leader' they chose to represent them.

If you live in #Saanich / #VictoriaBC / #YYJ area & need nice used clothes - I'm doing wardrobe cleanups over 2 weeks in mid April & will have several fashionable clothing items, shoes/boots plus accessories to give away to local folks who want some free styles for themselves or someone you know.

Petite sizes & would fit smaller sized women who wear sizes 00/XXS-XS. Shoes are size 8.
I'll post pics in April

Doing some meal planning for next week before heading off to VGH for 6am pre-op support, before my orthotics appointment at 8:30am.

I'm a huge fan of the tomatoes based Manhattan clam chowder. I'm lactose intolerant so tend to avoid creamy soups - not a fan of the more popular New England cream based clam chowder. I've only found one place in #VictoriaBC that offers it on their menu, White Spot. Finest At Sea used to sell it too but now only sell the NE style, which I can't eat without feeling sick.

I found this #ManhattanClamChowder #recipe to try out next week:

Continued thread

And here's the finished piece.

Victoria Sunset. This piece is acrylic on wood. It's 16x20 inches (41x51 cm). It's based around a glorious sunset I witnessed from Chateau Victoria last September.

I would love for this piece to find a home in Canada but given the current state of affairs I know that's not likely right now.
