Excited to have grabbed 4 tickets to see the Vancouver Canadians (Single-A affiliate of MLB Toronto Blue Jays). ⚾️🧢
Tickets are cheap! $35ea!
The scary part is travel on August long weekend, and we're making it a day trip from #PortAlberni so busy ferries and other crossing modes are in our future!
Here's the price breakdown for the various transportation modes from #Nanaimo to #Vancouver, return, for 4 adults.
Results are predictable. The spread is wide between walking onto BC Ferries and flying 4 people on a sea plane! The Horseshoe Bay route on BC Ferries has a premium right now because of construction but it's actually shorter transit time to/from Vancouver from Tsawassen anyway.
My only worry about walking on the ferry is there might not be day parking at the terminal in the middle of a long weekend!

super fun day. even with the unfortunate loss of Colombia. The Plaza crowd erupted on Colombias last penalty goal, and then fell silent with a few Swiss fans cheering. 😢
If Colombia had won the whole city would have been partying. The number of yellow shirts and jerseys was crazy!!

Why do Transit planners in Canada make transit worse and then expect to be congratulated?
I’ve ridden buses, in whole or part, to work for most of the past 25 years. In that same period, the bus system has doubled the amount of time it takes to get to work.
Labour Day is when the new schedules come out, so I have tracked them all the way back to 2000.
I gave up on the bus from Qualicum after the pandemic. And this year the schedule is so bad and so long that I might give up completely on getting the bus from Parksville. I’ll probably still go to Woodgrove sometimes but I am tempted to cancel my bus pass.
I used to be able to get to Qualicum at 6:20 or Parksville at 6:45 and be at work by 7:35. Now I have to be in Qualicum by 6:00 or Parksville by 6:22 to get to work by 7:54.
It’s so frustrating. I hate driving all the way in but driving for 1 hour versus taking 3 hours by using a bus part way is just not a reasonable trade.
We need proper commuter transit on Vancouver Island.

I am glad that the Qatar player, Assim Madibo, who broke Koné’s leg, sought out Kone immediately in the dressing room to apologize before Kone was taken to hospital.
He seemed genuinely distraught and upset after the tackle.
Some of the people on the Qatar bench need a good slap for their reactions... but on the whole, Madibo reacted in the right way, and that goes a long way to making what happened truly a tragic accident that can happen at any time in professional sports.
I wish Madibo well, and I hope Koné's recovery can be as quick, and complete as possible over the next few months.
And of course, I hope this gives Canada at least some added motivation and drive to get to the knockout stage and really make some noise in this thing!
