December 30, are you up to date…

You are not a magician. You’ve got to rely on you and your others. And you don’t want to be a burden on anybody, including yourself. Make plans. Years are coming. Decades are flying. Centuries are looming. + You don’t want to miss a thing.

Cat city…

Happy cats, Gemini
Meow…

This looks interesting. Is it Satire? No Cat astropies there…

500 million dollars BC Hydro. This project is going to be done by BC Hydro. Although their name Hydro connotates the fact that they own every drop of water in British Columbia as a monopoly for power generation. They are expanding wind farms and power smart are in their resume.

New

Environmental assessment waived

The company has just been directed to do everything as efficiently as possible and they’re waiving the environmental assessment. Which may in one case be reasonable because of the wind and its passiveness. However, they are notorious for bird kills and I would think that would be part of the environment. More on this later we hope. Maybe we can get a quote from theNicola Naturalist Society Incorporated. Alan Berger president.

Good luck

Good luck Christmas bird counters…

Alan Burger and the Nicola naturalist Society Incorporated are out today doing their Christmas bird count. Nearly three decades  of service…
Humming bird.

Nice if they counted some of these…

Day off  river cleaning:

Dated photo
Snow was dear back then…

Day off takes advantage of snow

This fella had an unexpected day off a year ago or 2 years ago and he decided with the fresh snow that he could do something at the river, so he went down and he sledded what he found as far as recyclable stuff back into the economy.

Sweet

Gentle Tuesday,Half the cost of Halloween.

The estimates in some people’s view. Is that to clean up garbage in that Pacific trough there? There would be a great amount of it, a significant amount of it and some people view all of it for what the United States spends on Halloween

.

So, start planning your Halloween costume now. Make a statement!

Claimed lives change things

So, this is a point of change. We are not used in British Columbia to a cheap value to life. We take it serious that preventable lives lost are happening in the din of politicalization of dangers and the too often quick dismissive attitude  not backed up by science, basic precepts of law, or common sense.

We at the proprietary review ask people to rethink their presentation of opinion to knowing and do the proper research before you endorse even vicariously the easy dismissal of things like vaccines, flood danger, a fire danger and such this will bring you more peace and keep your conscience from being troubled at night.

Sometimes and more and more than before a statement of I don’t know enough about those things to give a responsible reply . Can I get back to you..

Please base your talk on views that can be verified.

This is now serious.

What are you going to do?

Carbon Tax

In Canada we have the advantage of a tax tied to a tangible commodity. The carbon tax no matter how pie in the sky it is, it’s still based on a tanagable.

Fraud not withstanding risk is better underwritten by this vehicle. So, the bubble of hard assets (oil reserves) that we are beginning to enjoy is timely for we all. Don’t waste this moment… Use it to transform ideas to near tangibles that will endure to our children’s children. 

Update

Peak oil reached by 2030.

Parks

Post from summer

We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?

Timely

The recent and prolonged warming is  motivating action.

We are probably facing a bubble as economic  power is increased by the  completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a  small ceremony in recent weeks.

Carbon tax revenue available

The increase in available  Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax  and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.

Parks are a good place to work for nature’s cure.

Gentle Tuesday: Yes, I am loved,you?

A shortage of aid…

Saturday sop

Time for 32 hour work week.

A simple change to the employment standards act would change the obligation and  to pay overtime by increasing it 8 hours for those that would continue to work 40 hours per week. This would add more choice and more flexibility in hiring. Increase holding taxes, and make it more of incentive to use mechanisms such as rrsp to bring down taxes and increase savings.

There are other methods of doing it however this is a static solution that can be applied quickly with great effect. This includes hiring workers that are more of an entry level and would be interested in an opportunity for overtime. Without the dynamic of a second job.

Friends in  the Near East, send them an e card ..

When consoling people living under the threat of catastrophic danger, it’s important to offer support and empathy. Here are some suggestions on how to console them:

  1. Express empathy: Acknowledge their feelings and show that you understand the difficult situation they are in.
  2. Offer practical help: If possible, assist with tangible support such as offering a place to stay, food, or helping with evacuation plans.
  3. Listen actively: Encourage them to express their concerns and fears, and actively listen without judgment.
  4. Share positive messages: Provide words of hope and encouragement, reminding them of their strength and resilience.
  5. Stay connected: Offer to keep in regular contact to provide ongoing support and reassurance.

Remember to tailor your approach to the individual’s specific needs and be sensitive to their emotional state. It’s also important to encourage them to seek professional help if they are struggling to cope.

If you’d like to send an e-card with a positive message to friends in the Near East, consider using a platform like Hallmark or Blue Mountain for a thoughtful and personalized touch.
