Woman has complete meltdown after missing B.C. ferry

[Kreskin]

Great story Kreskin!

I remember driving on the Jersey Turnpike and some change dropped out of the Toll Taker's hand and onto the ground. I said sorry even though it was a mutual drop.

As I drove away he yells...

"F*ing PR*ck!"

Lol. Ill bet you wanted to give him an earful.

. Bring on the bridge.

A bridge isn't even half of it. The approach work would be more onerous than the bridge. The infrastructure in place would be overwhelmed with the surge in traffic. A lot would depend on the location of the terminal points of the bridge.

Not to mention how are the people of Victoria going to be able to maintain their distance if n' us mainlanders can simply stroll across any ol' time we feel like it? I wouldn't be surprised if this thread alone has the twead curtain a twitchin...

As an ex resident of Victoria, I think it's changed now a bit beyond the old Tweed curtain mentality (mostly confined to a small area)- some areas are even known for being a little rowdy at times.

you may be right. But there is still a Us vs. Them mentality when it comes to Victorians and the mainland. They also have a real blind spot to the goings on in their own little backyard. I grew up in Victoria and heard all kinds of terrible things about the mainland.

When I moved to the mainland my friends were worried I'd be mugged or beaten. Once I was here for a bit they asked how I liked being the only white person. In Victoria they call Vancouver, Hongcouver. I've said it before on this forum, but the amount of racism openly displayed by Victorians is phenomonal. You'd think it was 1950...

I hear you- (Don't breathe this to a soul) I have a sister (born in 1950) who has lived in Victoria since she was 7 years old and she can be slightly opinionated (contrary to me) .................anyway you never heard it from me.
