Implications from the Cowichan Tribes decision

To your point re: sources, this video from a session at UBCM is informative, in my view.

If there are sound issues we know who to blame.

I believe that's what Brazil is doing, more or less. Allowing importation but requiring shift in manufacturing to their country.

I've been quietly advocating for a quota based system, and perhaps income testing the quota.

Minimizes overlap with existing market, provides benefit for a lot of service workers and other medium to lower income households.

It would be a pain and a half to administer, though.

"My dearest Martha,

My hope is that when you read this missive, that as a member of the 13th Multnomah Furry Division, I stood honorably in the field of war afore our enemy. The Unipiper is calling us to battle, and I must away and do my part, thrusting, in the great melee.

Your husband,
Reginald"

I'd prefer it if the federal government said that Alberta oil and Saskatchewan potash can be subject to export taxes in a trade war with America as a prerequisite for the pipeline to be considered by the federal government.

I stood up to speak against it as well and had notes. Sadly...

Thank goodness they approved it. If look at who benefits, it's worth a compromise on aesthetics if someone dislikes multifamily.

The total number between Biden and Trump are roughly similar, the disparity is with the Supreme Court.

Around Cache Creek it might work well.

My neck of the woods, well. Not so much.

I remember a map in the Economist, and Vancouver Island is about the worst place in the world for solar. It's still more clean power in the end, so it's not a waste. But industrial scale = Cache Creek imo.

Orcas living in the Salish Sea are making exfoliating brushes out of kelp, a new paper reports. Not bad for an animal with no hands https://econ.trib.al/uvVQnr8

I have to admit, "'Hidden gem' is a shrug in article form" is a hell of a good line.

Honestly wish we'd have some sort of system for regional associations or UBCM to rank our top 3 resolutions, and then present the results. Having too many asks allows the province to do what they always wanted, then point to whatever resolution they wish.

Somehow I thought you'd pass a bylaw banning the phrase "hidden gem."

Those in the West who believe peace can be secured by surrendering Ukraine to Russia fundamentally misunderstand the hierarchy in Putin’s thinking: the destruction of Ukraine is a tactical objective, not the strategic aim of his war. 8/9
