They saved a park and made a plea, this will effect you and me.
The effect will stickle our bones, like meat and spuds do tickle.
Results may vary but stay not contrary, we do claim, to our fame.
To the layers fast and slow, the choice to go with the stayers.
Ad Infinito!
Editors Note: Park land in communities are part of official community plans, any removal is subject to law and must be replaced elsewhere. This was missing from the CBC report.
The ubcm, Union of British Columbia municipalities, has announced an old growth forest recession. The ubcm is the forum for local governments to come together to get a United viewpoint to present to senior levels of levels of government, so as in this case as always their focus is on local government members. However as a resident of BC it would be good to stay informed if you do have an interest in this. The work of association such as ubcm is the quiet effective way to accommodate views for thoughtful presentations to senior governments.
Whether it’s by the community’s ACT or a particular charter the senior governments and the laws they make are what govern us. So. As a resident of BC with any kind of interest and how old growth is managed you may be well off to speak to your local elected officials about your views and how they might present them at this or other types of gatherings.
They say history repeats its self and part of Canadas history is the fact that a great many Ukrainian people came to Canada over time to escape unattractive lifes in Europe and Asia. Sadly Ukraine was providing a good life at home the last few years but suddenly reversals have once again changed the lure of a life in their homeland.
Here is a report of what may have been the dynamic that brought so many Ukrainians to Canada over its history.
January 10th 1901 the Spindletop oil well comes. Spindletop was the first great well of the Texas oil bonanza.
So, we go where we go and go when, we have gas.
Some that don not, will not and respite will prevail.
Winds of change will make our bed unless we will not sail.
On that breeze complete, with out ease, and before we sneeze.
Let reflect on what was best, and forget the rest, it was a pest.
Adjust to what is it that makes some sense. Nor other does best!

The only data difference that resonates…
The amount of people, roads and vehicles, you have to be a cartoon character to understand. There were 1,600,000,000 in 1900 we just went over 8 billion in 2022.
Most of the world is seeking a lifestyle more in line with the US. The Irony is that oil produced the variance. Anyway if you work at it there are lots more friends available.
So, this is a solemn week ending on Friday with the remembrance Day observances.
The armistice was signed before laying down of arms at the 11th day of the 11th month after 11:00 hour.
So, it is on us to remember the sacrifice of people who secured our freedom over time with the military forces. However it shouldn’t be a lecture, it should be just a getting together and agreeing on the sense that sometimes over time things haven’t worked out and force was required. And that we can benefit from observing the slippery slope that brought that into being in the past.
Then taking a sober view of the remembrance knowing that it can incite all kinds of old wounds if the agreement isn’t widespread that it should never happen again.
So good luck with that, as I leave you with a quote from the character Sandra Bullock played in the movie Gravity. When she was in terrible Jeopardy trying to get away from a falling apart space station,she said I know that we all die and with tears she went on to say but I’m going to die right now.
How to live on properly.
To expound on her feeling yes everybody does die, but how they die is important,not leaving baggage, chaos or conflict, but a peace presence of thoughts of you is a noble charge.
The little creatures that collect plant nectar and pollinate the plants are not mindless. Bees recognize faces,learn by watching and trying. Have emotions and communication abilities.

Canada honey production.

Piece of the action.
Bees may soon develop the ability to negotiate a better deal and keep more of their production. Tongue in cheek.
