It’s not immigration that is booming in Victoria, it’s in-migration from other parts of Canada, mostly.
That's right. I should have also added that. Nearly 85% of immigrants go to Vancouver, Toronto (GTA) and Montreal currently.

A View Royal couple, who had planned a meet-and-greet event for mayoral candidate Sid Tobias at their home over the weekend, say they were left shaken after an uncomfortable encounter with Mayor David Screech on their property.
Doug Wilson and Claire McDougald told the Times Colonist they had a tense confrontation with Screech at their front door Sunday morning about an hour before the meet-and-greet for his rival was to start. According to the couple, the conversation was adversarial from the start and escalated to the point Screech got into a loud, heated discussion with others at the event.
“A mayor will have challenges right, left and centre, but you don’t go yell at people on their doorstep on a Sunday morning no matter what,” said McDougald. “You can’t act like that. I have great concerns when a mayor behaves that way going to one of his taxpayer’s house.”
“Everybody’s welcome to their own opinion, but people are not free to behave in an unruly manner like that, and especially an elected official who has a duty to adhere to community standards,” added Wilson.
The heated conversation was the result of Screech asking to speak to those gathered at the meet-and-greet to address a flyer that had been circulating in the neighbourhood.
_______________________
View Royal Coun. Ron Mattson, who had the confrontation with Screech, said the mayor’s behaviour was “atrocious.”
“He can’t treat members of the public like that,” he said. “He yelled. He yelled at me for being disloyal but you know, I went there with a couple of people and my loyalty is with the people who elected me not the mayor.”
“It was completely shocking and totally inappropriate and, you know, certainly not befitting the mayor of View Royal. It was just awful.”

What is the legality of this?:
“..In the Criminal Code of the Canadian law, Section 184 states that recording private conversation is illegal unless one of the participants consents to the interception. However, if anyone is getting involved in intercepting individual interactions without the consent of the other person, they can face imprisonment for up to five years. Let’s delve in to know more about the implications of recording a private conversation in Canada…”: https://www.prowsech...rsations-canada

One party can be the one recording it, as is the case here.
You and I can have a private coversation, I can covertly record it without your permission.
You and I cannot have a private coversation while another party records us, unbeknownst to both of us.

Young’s Community First Langford slate includes long-time councillors Lanny Seaton, Matt Sahlstrom and Roger Wade, along with incumbent Norma Stewart, running for a second term, and two new faces, Shirley Ackland, former mayor and councillor of Port McNeill, and Shannon Russell Willing, who runs Langford’s support for Ukrainian refugees.
Langford Now, meanwhile, which includes Cobly Harder, Keith Yacucha, Kimberley Guiry, Mark Morley and Mary Wagner, is calling for a “sweeping change” in everything from transportation and recreation to affordability, sustainable development, environmental protections and transparent government.
Langford Now says development permits issued by council in the past 10 years had increased by 400%, to 1,670 units in 2021 from 336 in 2012 — significantly more than the 140% increase across the capital region.
The value of the building permits issued in Langford increased 680%, to $530 million in 2021, compared to just under a 200% increase across the capital region.
There’s no question that Langford is booming. It’s considered the fastest-growing community in the province — and third in Canada — as its population jumped 31.8% to 46,584 from 2016 to to 2021, according to national census data.

^ Sounds like Langford staff have made a decision on who they want to support for council! How can someone be accused of vote buying when they haven't even registered to run?!
