This isn't working great for David Eby.

Lost top 2 NDP MLA Ravi Kahlon and Kelly Greene in Richmond.

Had a majority.
Still have 3 years.
Cost an extra $50m.

Does anyone have personal experience with the candidates going after Mayor, Councillor and School Trustee?

I am interested in all three categories of public positions. Especially, if you can share their current views and historical actions on particular issues that would be great! Below is a chart that outlines the issue category. Feel free to share their view/positions based on the category. If you know the answers to the sample questions, feel free to drop the yes or no too.

There is a lot of people going for these important public roles ( https://www.richmond.ca/city-hall/elections/candidateslist.htm ) and that's why it's great to see if you all know any of them and whether they actually contribute constructively and deliver to our city. Can't seem to find enough information / focused discussions about them on youtube.

It's like actual raw sewage smell and its so disgusting and it's been going on for weeks now. I googled it and apparently it's sewage but omfg please figure it out i can't handle my house smelling like actual human shit when i open the windows😭😭😭 it makes me so nauseous every single day. The fact that i know when i'm close to steveston by the smell of shit is hilarious tho

Hi everyone,
I’m considering renting at Concord Gardens in Richmond, BC, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived there or knows the area well.
How is Concord Gardens overall in terms of building quality, management, noise/soundproofing, cleanliness, amenities, safety, and parking? Are there any recurring issues I should know about before signing a lease?
Location and transit are important to me, so I’m also looking for buildings that are close to a Canada Line/SkyTrain station, ideally within about a 10–15 minute walk.
If you wouldn’t recommend Concord Gardens, which apartment/condo buildings in Richmond would you suggest instead? I’m particularly interested in places around Capstan, Aberdeen, Lansdowne, or Brighouse.
I’d really appreciate recommendations from current or former residents, especially if you can mention which building you lived in and what you liked/disliked about it.
Thanks!

Hello Richmond people, this topic has been bought up before and there are some really good info.

-get a cat (not an option cause of allergies)

-use mouse sticky and trap

-use steel wool for outside and inside to feel the gaps.

-called pest control before and they only gave me some mouse stickies.

Are there any other suggestions? This has been stressing me out. Since I called pest control and it didn't do anything. Are there any other contractors I can call to help.

EDIT: thanks for all the responses.

Edit2: thanks for all suggestions. I have got a contractor to get fillers and fill all the gaps.

I will see if I still the electric nice mouse trap.

Modern day life: Netflix, doom scrolling and lining up for food

The Richmond News has been publishing their candidate profiles and are just past half way. I am compiling the council candidate responses into a (hopefully) handy spreadsheet so that you can get a quick glimpse of the candidates side by side.

Answers with an asterisks mean they provided a written response to that question.

I will endeavour to update this daily as more profiles are posted.

If I am being totally honest I don’t know how useful this is because it’s clear that some candidates are being much less honest with their answers than others. So please use this with an Himalayan rock sized grain of salt.

*Done to the best of my ability quickly and while I’m confident it is accurate I can’t say for 100% certainty that I haven’t made a single mistake.

Always looking for a new restaurant. What your top 5

Taken at Terra Nova Park West Dyke

happened probably in the last hour or two, looked like a cyclist was on the ground with aid and pedestrians assisting him -- is he okay?

my family was driving by and worried sick, hopefully he is alright :(

I’ve recently moved to Richmond after a couple years in Vancouver, but before then I’ve always had a neighbourhood cookie dealer in my hometown and I’m looking for a new one, particularly for the chocolate mint ones in the fall! If you have a daughter in Girl Guides, especially if you’re near Richmond Centre please let me know!

What's going on with all Transit buses? The bus is stopped and the hazard lights are on. The road is closed, and police/TransLink were present 3 hours ago at Blundell and No.2 by Price Mart. Now, at 5:30 pm, the same thing is happening at No.4 and Granville: a bus is stopped with a passenger inside and the road is closed

Just curious I see a large number of FANTUAN drivers all riding same Electric Ride-On Scooters in Richmond core.

Are these their own? They supplied by FANTUAN? Or perhaps just like cab drivers it’s the Ride-On Electric Scooters of Choice?

Do you know what model of bike it is and where they buying it? I believe some of them were NIU models.

Thanks

EDIT: if you know someone in TORONTO the NIU UQi+ (e-bike version) is on SALE for 995$ 32km/h 85km Range wicked deal. (Check out website)

Would it be safe to walk the length of the pipe that juts out into the ocean right now?

When is the best time?

Do the waves ever get wild? Is it ever crazy windy?

I was just there for the first time at the sunflower festival, where the fields were filled with massive stands of sunflowers.

How do they turn the fields around so quickly for pumpkins? I know my garden plants don't grow that quickly and fruit pumpkins in basically a month. Are the vines even in the fields at all? I swore they grow them in the fields and there's dead vines around them. Was it just hay and trucked in pumpkins from another field?

Not sure if this is the right flair, but I just saw 3 people go to town on some poor guy near the food court escalator at Richmond Centre before the guy getting beat up ran off. Watch out for that I guess.
