More juice to enforce emergency programs. A,s of April 21st 2020:
Under the authority of the Emergency Program Act, the provincial government has announced new tools to support enforcement of ministerial orders. Effective immediately, police and other enforcement authorities, including bylaw officers, may issue $2,000 violation tickets for a variety of infractions, including price gouging and the reselling of essential goods (e.g. medical supplies).
Enforcement authorities may issue tickets for the violation of sections 8 (4) and (5), and section 9 of Ministerial Order 84/2020, and section 3 of Ministerial Order 115/2020. In addition to the above-noted infractions, these orders also provide the ability to ticket those who sell specified items beyond quantity limits; and, lodging operators who, at the request of the Province, do not provide accommodation for self-isolation purposes or to support essential workers.
Authorities empowered to enforce these ministerial orders and issue $2,000 violation tickets during the COVID-19 state of emergency include:
Enforcement authorities will be able to utilize these new tools throughout the duration of the COVID-19 provincial state of emergency. The provincial news release highlighting these changes is available on the Province of B.C. website.Go to Top

The Merritt Centennials lost out to the Coquitlam Express last night 9- 2. The team is said to be out of the playoff contention. Things started going bad in the 1st period according to reports.
The Cents opened the scoring just 1:10 into the game after Rylan Van Unen picked a pocket at the blueline, danced in and rang a shot off the post that Daniel Tkac was able to find and fire into the partially open cage to make it 1-0. The teams traded chances until the 7:47 mark when the Express started to blast back. Greg Lapointe answered to tie the game, then that seemed to open the flood gates as the Cnts didn’t have any answers for the high powered Express. Will Margel, Josh Wildauer, Wyatt Head, and Cooper Connell all added tallies to put Coquitlam up 5-1 after 1. Ryan Winter was chased from the net after the 4th goal, with Marshall coming in for relief. Shots after 1 were 14-14.

The team is said to have been reorganized for this year with few returning players. Perhaps the pressure will be off for remaining lame duck games. If there are any
However the team seems to be responsive to pressure as their most recent win was while short. Over thinking may be a dynamic here. The next game would have been February 15th in Merritt against Salmon Arm. The game is listed as if neccesary..

Rose Behar reported two years ago that Telus CEO Entwistle had big plans for internet in BC including multi fixture use capacity of up to 5 household items.Entwistle said developments are already taking place in terms of preparation but that activity will be heightened by the second half of the 2019-2020 fiscal year. He further noted that the carrier plans to deploy all manner of spectrum in support of the new wireless generation, from 600MHz spectrum to 3.5GHz to mmWave spectrum.The CEO also noted he was excited about the “synergistic nature” of the fibre and 5G combination.
Two years on it is Safer Internet Day and most of us still relay on authorities and presume that internet is safe, so be happy and use that public trust wisely by staying civil and careful with the use of this service.
