They don't seem to make them like they used too.

I fished for dogfish years and years ago further up Sidney Inlet from the west end of Shelter Inlet, if they were there they came aboard like grapes, usually big ones. Fish farms, aka lice hatcheries, probably have something to do with the lack of salmon returns in Clayoquot Sound's more pristine sections.  The biggest loss was the sockeye run in Kennedy Lake. Apparently they used to tow gillnetters up the Kennedy River to catch the ones that made it past the cannery and there was a lot more logging in much of that eastern part of Clayoquot Sound too.  Can't blame farms for these but it's no surprise they have the same mentality.

The diet part of that wiki article is crap.  Lingonberries are not found in the south coast.  They’re a northern species.

Haha, I got the "Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days." digging this thread up.  Thanks COVID.

I'm not even sure road trips can count as 'travel' but I just wanted to say holy poop, Kim City hotels are going for 500K/night for a four star hotel.  I'd rather stay at the Empress Hotel for less than that.

Looks like I'll be going to the island.  Sorry islanders....

We know you…. You’re welcome anytime! 

Are those hotels trying to make up for lost time on a single summer???

People without AC going to a hotel to cool off.

I assumed she meant $500

Ok.  AFAIK things ARE more expensive out west.

Also - this heat is so high that people in Toronto are mentioning it.

 Did ya hear that Cuzzin Cootis?  They’s talkin’ ‘bout us in Tee-Ron-Tow!!!

Um... is your cousin on here ?

 : Yes, it's still super expensive

$500 is a ripoff for any hotel in that town.  That’s expensive hotel in Vancouver kind of prices.

I'm planning my staycation for August and pretty much everywhere in BC is around 500/night now. It's 400 if I buy with no cancellation clause. I mean for a decent place, not even 5 star or anything.

I just came back from Whistler and even there everything is pretty close to 500 too. I stayed at the Pan Pacific at least I got a free parking (EV) and breakfast included. Hilton is 400 plus parking so it made sense. The location of the Pan Pacific is pretty central in the village.

This is nuts, cheaper to buy an RV and pay to park it somewhere most of the year.
