The northern boundary of downtown would be extended to Bay Street from Chatham Street, while the northwestern section of Fairfield, bordered by Southgate Street to the south and Quadra to the east, would be added to downtown. Thomas Guerrero, who has a passion for urban planning and blogs about the city from a pedestrian perspective at Sidewalking Victoria, said the current “bizarre” neighbourhood boundaries are mostly arbitrary lines that no longer make sense. Guerrero said each neighbourhood has its own character “whether it is the granola flavours of Fernwood or the North Face jackets of Fairfield,” as he writes on his blog but there are many areas in the city that feel like they’re part of the wrong neighbourhood, noting parts of Fairfield and Burnside-Gorge feel more like downtown.

Simu Liu came under fire for deleting a tweet that called out Mark Wahlberg s racist assault of two Vietnamese men, when news came to light that they would be working together on Arthur the King.
From offering to be an “emotional support Canadian” to his strong anti-racism stances, Marvel star Simu Liu’s Twitter presence is largely appreciated. However, the Asian-Canadian actor was recently the subject of intense criticism for
deleting a tweet people stood by specifically, his tweet calling out future colleague Mark Wahlberg for his history of hate crimes.
When news broke last Wednesday that Liu and Wahlberg would be co-stars in the upcoming film “Arthur The King,” Twitter users pointed out that Liu deleted his last public comment on Wahlberg in 2018, an action the actor was quick to defend.
