start and success will depend on individual effort as well.

Phase 4 starts tomorrow…
John Horgan says no Sept 7th restart to normal, two weeks ago…
Phase 4 will only be achieved when COVID-19 is no longer a risk, due to an effective treatment, vaccination, or evidence of community immunity. Until British Columbia reaches Phase 4, there will be no rock concerts, conventions, or large gatherings of more than 50 people. Resumption of business, but not business-as-usual

Get vaccinated.
The Variant is out there and Covid-19 will still get you, that will hurt people I have that work in the health care system, we don’t want it to create another dependant class of people to replace the Ingenious that may be coming out of that on September 30th. TIC
Restrictions during phase 4.
The only real restriction planned for phase 4 is business will still be under public health guidance, large events are only targeted for ” increased numbers”
Polio was a scrooge to the population prior to vaccinations, put on US president in a wheel chair for life. But true horror was the triage for for who might live when recourses were needed to be rationed. The truth of it is that you don’t mess with these things when they can be resolved, because that door may not always be open. I am familiar with one case where a young girl inn the 30’s involuntarily traded. her high school time for a life never getting out of an iron lung capsule.
That was a better outcome for people that go triaged out of that limited resource. Covid.19 is out there and so are you, it will find you in that 20 percent of unvaccinated. and you may triaged out because of your present health and age and the availability of treatment resources.
As provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was announcing tighter restrictions to cover all of the Interior Health region, she said it won’t be a surprise if the province doesn’t advance to Step 4 in September.

Trans Mountain Expansion,, TMX is a pipeline that is a twinning of an existing one that comes from the Edmonton Alberta area and brings Alberta crude west through Burnaby to refineries in the US that process and distribute oil products into the free market. Trans mountain works on a tariff system that it charges producers to transport the crude to destinations. They do not own the oil.
Know as the trans-mountain apartments, Merritt BC File Photo KDG
Owned by the Government of Canada.
The 60 year oil company that was the Trans Mountain Pipeline was bought the Trudeau Government from US investors to ensure that the national interest of its bringing oil from Alberta was secure against the “oppression of the majority” and other dynamics of the provincial interest of big against small, wealth transfer, strategic supply of the needed chemicals for energy, food , medicines, and the sovereign Canadian ability to mange its own.
Trans Mountain pipeline was commissioned in March 1951, after an act of the Canadian Parliament created it.
Trans mountain pipeline was born in the public interest, moved in and out of public control over its life time and at this time remains steadily in Canadian public control, at least until completion of and the maturity of its role in the supply line. The standards of construction and maintenance may exceed what is generically called an oil pipeline elsewhere in the world, which is good we believe. The following videos are produced by Trans Mountain however they are film and can be easily verified by interested.
Climate Change Emergency.
The discourse of the current federal election has some candidates calling global warming as an emergency situation. We agree that the demands of human population is making for all kinds of emergency situations and they all need attention. The carbon thing is to be addressed by emissions controls after use and requires industry to do it if other needed dynamics are not to be neglected.
Insurance
Some are calling for the insurance industry to not give insurance to the TMX operations, in an effort to stop the construction. We have not researched who may be providing insurance to the operations. However for those that find comfort in the fact that insurance company’s often partner by under writing projects we would remind you that the Canadian Government self insures its operations as do some large corporations and because the TMX operations are government owned its a mute point to try to undermine its construction by that kind of boycott
Sense of place
The way the expansion and indeed the continuation of life on earth should not violate our peoples sense of place or belonging.. Three generations have come along of people that directly benefited from Trans Mountain operations, sense of place is well established with these, we hope that those that are not at arms length will try to and speak out when needed, to support the good things, that may come to the people in the macro sense.
New cases peaked on the 21st of August making the curve start to bend down from 2664 and the seven day average at 2736. The 28th saw 1699 new with the seven day average 2,414 showing the down trend.
Over 5 billion vaccinations world wide, Canada punching above weight…
There were 5,213,175,620 vaccinations accounted for worldwide, Canada has accounted 52,057,379 doses roughly 1 percent pf the worlds effort.. Canada has 0.5 percent of the world population, this makes a small number to administer and care for covid-19 related measures, meaning Canada’s effort is a rounded success, but not complete yet..
On August 19th 2021 TMX reiterated that the west alternate route is approved and 99.9 percent of the expansion is
approved at this writing.
Variance came from request of Coldwater FN Band.
The Commission also found there has been adequate consultation and accommodation with respect to potentially affected Indigenous peoples for the purpose of their decision on the variance application. The Commission gave significant weight to the fact that Coldwater, which is the Indigenous community located in the Coldwater Valley and closest to the West Alternative, indicated its support for the West Alternative as the superior route option through the Coldwater Valley. The Commission noted that in the West Alternative variance application, Trans Mountain included several letters from other Indigenous peoples in support of Coldwater’s position on the West Alternative.
There were 1472 new confirmed cases reported on Saturday the 21st of August. this brought the weekly average to 2336 for 7 days. The curve has been trending up since the last week of July. The end of March 2021 saw daily averages around 6000 going to around 9000 before trending down mid April. Bottoming out around 300 cases in the second week in July.
The case load is moving up again as 1500 cases reported by Canada today. Vaccination in Canada is high however the unvaccinated can put hospitals in stress as yet and individual personal tragedies can present a lot to grieve for people who have not yet availed themselves of readily available vaccines.

We have offered the use of our camp communities in Merritt and Clearwater for evacuees and are currently housing evacuees and firefighters working in the area in our Merritt facility. In Kamloops, work was stood down in Kenna Cartwright Park and Pineview Park areas as requested by the City of Kamloops, with team members helping to mitigate fire risk by wetting and cutting grass in areas under active construction for the Expansion Project. Trans Mountain also supported the Robson Valley Fire Service response efforts with a skidder and water tank after a fire ignited in the North Thompson region.

The Merritt BC vaccination facility has moved to a smaller complex, that is the Memorial arena to the smaller civic center. With billions of people in the world not yet vaccinated and the border being opened on August 9th to the US, it is closing in on Vaccination availability.
Issue dropping from first of mind in Canada.
Perhaps Covid-19 will be not be top of mind soon and will go from pandemic to endemic status, so safety may not be out front however unvaccinated people can still pick up a debilitating case of the disease.
Forth serious outbreak of a strain coming from Asia.
From Covid -19 to Sar’s there has been four strains of serious virus driven disease coming from the east in recent history. It should be a priority to address this in respect to world travel and safety as variants are dangerous.
