Dark Victoria

Dark Victoria is a site devoted to the grimy underbelly of Victoria.

All these people think of Victoria as a paradise. It's nice and better than a lot of places, but when condoms and hypodermics start showing up at your front door, you get a clearer picture of the City of Gardens. The Liberal neo-cons who took over the province have screwed social services to the point where it's dangerous to walk the streets. Heck, it's even dangerous in small communities. If you try to escape it and take off to Hawaii, liquored up neo-cons are there to run you down too. This situation is so messed up, that MADD gave this twerp a mulligan.

The A-Morning crew would crow over how many episodes they had ("This is Episode 120, Eric!"). I thought that they were feeling that Wile-E.-Coyote-off-the-cliff sensation too. When the last owner of the channel had to cut back they nailed the morning show. Then a new owner rolled out a morning show in markets like Victoria. They dusted off the format and started doing the show again. Monday morning, I popped into a Thrifty's where Maggie Cox was wrapping up her live spot. There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
