I wouldn't mind it, even if Victoria would become the Capital Wasteland.

I vote we rename Victoria to 'tsunami protective barrier zone wash over'.

TPBZWO for short and all licence plates can read 'hope you can fly' or 'worse than Richmond'.

One area's loss is another's gain.

Taking the capital away from Victoria would kill our economy (as a person who lives in Victoria), as already stated.

I have no idea why Wetcoaster would want a city in his own province to diminish and gradually fail, that's just ridiculous.

Completely agree. Because I work for the ferries I can cross for free,
