A lot of lives about to be lost with no pretenses other than to deliver oil. Not even a supposed fight for freedom
Irrespective of a lot of things in this whole shit show, the fact that American soldiers are likely going to lose their lives in order to explicitly protect oil shipments is wild...
People are right when they say the only winner in this war is Russia. This was against Iran, as much as it is detestable, would have been a lot easier to win if the Americans had given Ukraine the weapons to beat the Russians. Now the Russians are helping Iran and the US is helping Russia
Sure is great that our provincial MLA and potential Cpnservative party leader is allowing Armstrong to grandstand like this. Not afraid to play footsies with the far right...
Spare a thought for the wine agents and wine festivals please....
Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli
I understand the idea that businesses don't like this operation but do they think their properties will be more secure if we don't provide this space?
Maybe the BC Aboriginal Chikd Care Society would have some leads? You probably already looked here but worth a shot: www.acc-society.bc.ca

We have all the technologies available to make a relatively quick transition to clean energy to make what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz irrelevant from an energy perspective but countries are beholden to fossil fuel energy companies and lack any kind of ambition.
Very rarely does anyone from the CTF really know what they are talking about. I can never understand why they get so much media play other than 'tax bad, spending bad' is an easy sound bite
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

I don't like this but I think there are a lot of people banking on the Conservatives having a more electable leader and also the NDP, particularly Eby, has worn out its welcome with a lot of people.
Geez, if the USA ever wants standing in the world again, many people need to go to jail and some of them need to experience what Romanians did to the Ceausescus...
As a followup, it's notable that many of the accounts who insist Canada's economic future will collapse as a result of the Cowichan court ruling don't have similar panicked memes based on activities of Alberta separatists despite results like these www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Don't blow up oil refineries when you can blow up kids schools...
For sure, they need to do the due diligence - so does the buyer. Lending to people leasing land on-reserve is not uncommon and there are many processes in place to reduce risks.
Well that's not true. It does make sense to lend when there are longer term leases in place. It doesn't make sense when a 50 year lease only has 2 years left in it
It would be nice if the story gave some context for First Nation land designation and leasing and how First Nations are not allowed to sell reserve land. Also, how these people were able to get mortgages on potentially expiring leases is pretty wild. People did not do their due diligence
The financial feasibility of a car share program is slim and these programs need help from the municipality and development community to have any chance of success in a place like Kamloops. Financial viability is dependent on having a fleet of 10 cars that are constantly being used.
City supportive policies such as clear policies directing developers to pay for cars for the car share programs, providing good free parking for car share fleets, and even donating cars from the City fleet would help get this off the ground.
As someone who did a lot of work to try to get a car share going years ago, it's great that the City is considering this. When we tried previously, Kamloops didn't have the density anywhere to make it work but with all the dev't on the North Shore and downtown, it might be feasible.
We need BOTH reduced speed limits AND traffic calming throughout the City. We didn't need a pilot testing two neighbourholds - just get it done and the focus on traffic calming to reinforce the speed limits
Not to quibble but if you are at Service Canada, you might be in the wrong spot for a drivers license...

Hey United States - take your thin skinned giant loser of an ambassador back please - we're done with this pathetic, whiny asshole. www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/artic...
I think she would say the the Toronto Maple Leafs being a terrible hockey team this year underscores the need for a pipeline...
Please tell me this is fake news...
Either the City views a bike lane as any street where a bicycle has been painted on it or they just closed a bike lane that should exist but never has on St. Paul Street
Horrifying doesn't even begin to cover it. This is, legally and practically, torture. They will deny HRT even to those who can no longer produce their own sex hormones, which can and will have dire medical consequences. They will drive people to suicide.
