Ah, fair Victoria, my old hometown ,where sewage is pumped straight
into the sea, causing brown tides in the Strait and bitter complaints
from Washingtonians (to which Victoria's mayor replied that perhaps
the Washingtonians would like to fund a sewage-treatment plant for
Victoria!!).

I remember as a kid back in the late 60s, picking up a brown floating
object in the sea before realizing what it was. Condoms littering the
beaches.
