The values of the liberty fraternity, which typically include principles such as freedom, equality, justice, and fraternity, are often conceived in various philosophical, political, and social contexts. Here are some key sources where these ideas have developed:
Enlightenment Philosophy: Thinkers like John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu explored ideas of individual rights and social contracts, laying the foundation for modern liberal democracy.
Political Revolutions: The American and French Revolutions were pivotal events that advocated for liberty and equality, leading to constitutions and declarations that enshrined these values.
Human Rights Movements: Throughout history, various movements aimed at securing human rights have articulated the principles of liberty and justice for all, emphasizing the need for equal treatment and respect.
Social and Cultural Contexts: Different cultures have their interpretations of liberty and fraternity, shaped by their unique histories and struggles for freedom.
These ideas continue to evolve as societies seek to balance individual freedoms with collective responsibility.
British Columbia is renowned for its stunning mountain landscapes, making it a prime destination for mountain resorts and getaways. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: Accessibility: * Accessibility varies depending on the resort. Some, like Whistler Blackcomb, are easily accessible from major cities like Vancouver. Others, located in more remote areas, may require longer drives or even flights. * Many of the larger ski resorts are accessible by well maintained roads. However, winter driving in B.C. mountains requires appropriate vehicle and driving skill. Affordability: * Price points range significantly. Luxury resorts like those in Whistler can be quite expensive, while smaller, family-run resorts may offer more affordable options. * Factors influencing cost include: * Time of year (peak ski season vs. off-season) * Accommodation type (luxury hotel vs. condo or cabin) * Activities and amenities offered. Parks: * Some resorts are located within or near provincial parks, offering access to beautiful natural surroundings. * While many ski resorts exist within areas of natural beauty, they are not often located within national parks. National parks have very strict regulations regarding development. * Provincial parks however, do have areas that allow for recreational resorts and areas. Manning Park Resort for example, is located within Manning Provincial Park. Recommendations: * Whistler Blackcomb: * This is one of North America’s premier ski resorts, offering world-class skiing, snowboarding, and a vibrant village. * It’s relatively accessible from Vancouver. * Price point: High-end, with a wide range of accommodation options. * Revelstoke Mountain Resort: * Known for its incredible vertical drop and challenging terrain. * Offers a mix of skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities. * It is located in a beautiful mountain setting. * Price point: Mid to high range. * Sun Peaks Resort: * A family-friendly resort with a charming village atmosphere. * Offers a variety of activities, including skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing. * Price point: Mid-range, with various accommodation options. * Panorama Mountain Resort: * This resort provides a wide range of activities, and has a very nice village area. * It is a good location for family vacations. * Price point: Mid range. * Fernie Alpine Resort: * Known for its abundant snowfall and excellent powder skiing. * Located in the southeastern corner of B.C. * Price point: Mid-range. Important Considerations: * When planning a mountain getaway, consider the time of year. Winter is ideal for skiing and snowboarding, while summer offers hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities. * Book accommodations and activities in advance, especially during peak season. * Be prepared for varying weather conditions, particularly in the mountains. I hope this information helps you plan your perfect mountain getaway in British Columbia!

Grannies corner, Valley Craze cafe, Merritt BC, Canada
Remember the great Canadians
I can see by the clock on the wall. It’s time to bid one and all. This was the poetic beginning of the closing to the Wayne and Schuster show when I was a kid. So it’s appropriate to be in Granny’s corner at the coffee house off Nicola Avenue.
Just around the back with signage ” this parking lot is not ours” is a delightful nook for baking coffee and conversation.
There is two hours on street unmetered parking on Nicola Avenue which is highway eight out of town to the Coquihalla and 5A + West to Spences Bridge.

Investing in comic books and publications can be a fascinating and potentially lucrative endeavor. It combines a passion for the art form with the possibility of financial returns. However, it’s essential to approach it with knowledge and a clear understanding of the market. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects: What Makes a Comic Book Valuable? * Rarity: The fewer copies available, the higher the value. This can be due to limited print runs, errors, or damage over time. * Condition: A comic book’s grade significantly impacts its price. Factors like spine creases, tears, and discoloration are considered. * Historical Significance: First appearances of popular characters, key storylines, and landmark issues hold greater value. * Demand: Popularity and cultural relevance drive demand. This can be influenced by movies, TV shows, and general fandom. Types of Comic Book Investments: * Golden Age (1938-1950s): These are the earliest comic books, often featuring iconic characters like Superman and Batman. They are generally the most expensive and sought-after. * Silver Age (1956-1970): This era saw the rise of Marvel Comics and introduced characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men. * Bronze Age (1970-1985): This period explored darker themes and introduced many beloved characters. * Modern Age (1985-present): While newer comics are generally less valuable, some have the potential to appreciate if they feature significant events or characters. Where to Buy and Sell: * Local Comic Book Stores: These are great for browsing, building relationships with experts, and finding hidden gems. * Online Marketplaces: eBay, MyComicShop, and others offer a vast selection but require careful inspection and buyer protection. * Comic Conventions: Cons provide opportunities to buy, sell, and network with collectors and dealers. * Auction Houses: For high-value and rare comics, auction houses like Sotheby’s and Heritage Auctions are options. Tips for Investing: * Do Your Research: Understand the market, grading standards, and key issues. * Focus on Quality: Invest in high-grade comics to maximize potential returns. * Diversify Your Portfolio: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments across different eras and characters. * Store Properly: Protect your comics from damage by using proper storage methods. * Be Patient: Comic book investing is a long-term game. Don’t expect overnight riches. * Consider Professional Grading: Services like CGC and CBCS authenticate and grade comics, which can increase their value. Risks and Considerations: * Market Fluctuations: Like any investment, the comic book market can be volatile. * Counterfeits: Be wary of fakes and reproductions. * Grading Disputes: Disagreements on a comic’s grade can affect its value. * Storage Costs: Proper storage can be expensive, especially for large collections. Is it Right for You? Investing in comic books can be a rewarding experience for those passionate about the hobby. However, it’s crucial to approach it with realistic expectations and a solid understanding of the market. If you’re looking for a quick return, this might not be the best investment. But if you’re a fan of comics and willing to do your research, it can be a fun and potentially profitable venture. Remember: Always consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Dime shows peaked during the 1880s and ’90s. The professor often had human freaks and would give discourses and pictures would be taken. However, and it’s not unlikely that The show must Go on in so many lives and that a necessity of sideshows as a distraction was aptly demonstrated in many occurrences.
We want a life challenging as well as with a sense of well being and safety. We look forward to that opportunity and the strength of the new government as it endeavours to give the gift of livelihood to its constituents.
Where it takes us is less important than how, a good sense of belonging to success at any level of participation should be a premium.
Success at any level is measured by the inclusion of the weak and the engagement of the strong . So we can all be proud of BC.
Good luck… All give, all contribute, all thrive at a personal level, satisfaction be your portion.
