----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Victoria International Wine Festival will move into a new home for its upcoming edition, which is set for Sept. 18-24 at the Car Shop at Bayview Place.
Dinners, tastings, and seminars are being offered, with over 400 wines from 13 countries on display during the week-long Esquimalt event. Festival director David Bain of Surge Business Productions said the food and beverage showcase is geared to amateur enthusiasts and professionals alike. "We want people to be able to gain knowledge about new wines in a format that isn't intimidating," he said. "We then match this experience with another, where wines selected by a panel of sommeliers will impress even the most experienced wine enthusiast."

lpoutine,
Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "Federal Liberal Scandal: Nova Scotia mass shooting" in forum "Victoria Politics".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ QUOTE ----------
Three years after the events of the SNC-Lavalin affair, the Trudeau government is once again facing down accusations that they actively meddled in the Canadian justice system to achieve a political end.
With SNC-Lavalin, the charge was that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office pressured his justice minister to unilaterally drop bribery charges against a Liberal-allied engineering firm. This time around, it's that Trudeau's public safety minister pressed RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to "jeopardize" a mass-shooting investigation so that they could push a gun control package.
And in both cases, the allegations have come from some very reputable sources. The most inculpating details of the SNC-Lavalin affair came directly from Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould herself. With the RCMP scandal, the government's alleged actions were outed by its own federal inquiry.
The Mass Casualty Commission – the federal inquiry into Canada's worst-ever mass shooting – last week released a detailed report into how the RCMP managed its public communications in the wake of the April 2020 massacre that killed 22 Nova Scotians.
On page 103, the report outlines how Lucki allegedly dressed-down Nova Scotia investigators for their initial refusal to release details about the firearms used by the shooter.
"She had promised the Minister of Public Safety and the Prime Minister's Office that the RCMP, (we) would release this information," read handwritten notes by Nova Scotia RCMP Superintendent Darren Campbell after an April 28 meeting with the Commissioner.

The political intent was, it is alleged, to paint the weapons used in the incident as assault-style rifles available to Canadians, while the guns were actually illegally imported. The immediacy of the assault style firearm ban, therefore, was predicated upon on a mass shooting using weapons not available in Canada, making the ban a largely superfluous pursuit based on aesthetics and not the capability of the weapons.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Spot prawn, fiddle and rugby festival
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Spot prawn, fiddle and rugby festival" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're a fan of juicy B.C. spot prawns, rugby and fiddles — there's a festival coming up this month in Victoria that's just for you.
The James Bay Athletic Association is hosting its first annual Spot Prawn and Fiddle Fest Sunday, June 12 in James Bay, with three unusual worlds colliding to create what will surely be an unforgettable experience.
The inaugural festival, produced by CCGF Event Services Inc. — the same company that put on this year's Cook Street Village Block Party — runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in MacDonald Park and will feature rugby exhibitions, kids play area, a fiddle contest, and a flatbed truck full of B.C. spot prawns called the "prawn spa."
