Capital Daily

I think you mean ego.

It might be a bit of each, yes.  

Not unlike David Letterman.

If I had to choose between Jonathan Kay's twitter feed, or Hoppers, I'm choosing Hopper, even though I'd learn more from Kay.

From the Capital Daily today:

“… the rerouted buses will turn left from Blanshard onto View rather than passing through the Inner Harbour.”

The Inner Harbour route would have been such a mess: throngs of drenched tourists, dredging barges retrieving busses, etc.

Capital Daily owner Andrew Wilkinson has purchased the $13.2 million mansion in Oak Bay, according to the land title.

Here some more details: https://victoria.cit...ncouver-island/

Word on the street is that he also purchased a $5M+ home at Shawinigan Lake. 

Presumably, he'll be offering shelter to the region's "most vulnerable" in his home(s).

Paid the 12 bucks to confirm. Hilarious. What a guy.

Inter Alia mortgage on the place. Cant help but wonder how its all structured.

We can surmise lots.

Don't have the address. 

Ya you can probably read between the lines, but with that early warning filing on WE, and the inter alia lending... Really? The stake is down to ~$35m at this point. I just hope that's not the case. It's not worth it.

Yeah the early warning was a big red flag for me. Perfectly legit but huge exposure. Perhaps it is the HODL mentality with younger people who have never experienced a real unwinding in their careers. 

Good morning,

It’s time to announce our next hire: a municipal reporter.

Today is what I’ve been thinking of as Municipal Monday (nobody else calls it that, but they should). It’s the day when the whole team pitches in to cover the 13 municipalities of Greater Victoria—the big decisions, the incremental changes, and, increasingly, the people throwing their hats in the ring for the upcoming election.

The municipal reporter will be our eyes and ears across Victoria’s local councils, seeking out the most important stories coming out of local governments and diving deep into them. They’ll also be our municipal election correspondent, responsible for creating tools to keep us all informed of the issues and people duking it out for our votes.

In order to create this vital position, we need 500 people to join the more than 1,300 people who have become Capital Daily members this year. Can you help us?

Municipal governments determine what our streets look like, what our homes are allowed to be used for, how we get to work, and who our neighbours are. They influence our taxes, our most basic services, and the way our city changes or resists change.

And yet municipal governments are largely ignored in favour of the high drama and big budgets of federal and provincial governments. We want to change that, but we need your help.

So, will you be part of the one-percent who help us bring this vital coverage to Victoria?

They need 500 people to "join" in order to "hire" one reporter?

What is Jimmy up to here?

Well, membership is $100/year and up.  So presumably they get 500 new members and they have $50,000 extra per year.

They are always asking for donations. This is just a new angle IMHO.

Yes, but it's the way they are asking that is nauseating.
