The Proprietor Review

The local PO was locked out as of yesterday. Two workers one with a flag were walking the sidewalk  in front of Canada posts building here.

When asked they said that the issue was safety and pensions in particular pensions for  workers in the union that are not full-time employees. They worry that leverage is used with them to gain concessions amongst the full timers.

The government has now tabled legislation to order them back today.

The local authorities are asking for more diligence in Business licencing, Licence is required by jurisdiction, and that comes from property. If you do business in a city you at least may be required to get a peddlers licence  tahts a temporary license if you are presenting on public property. If you have property were you meet your customers and advertise you need to have a business licence.

Business licenses are permits issued by government that allow individuals or companies to conduct business within the government’s geographical location It is the authorization to start a business issued by the local government. A single jurisdiction often requires multiple licenses that are issued by multiple government departments and agencies. Business licenses vary between countries, states, and local municipalities. There are often many licenses, registrations and certifications required to conduct a business in a single location. These are not needed for sole proprietorship. (source Wikipedia )

A local paper is saying that the Douglas lake cattle company is claiming ownership to  lakes again.

We say that he issue is one of access and fish that the ranch pays for in stocking the lake. The law in Canada was that there can be no private owner ship of property in the riparian area of lakes that they are public access. That included docks and found property for you beachcombers. the government supplies one public access road to most lakes.

On private land you can get a fish pond licence for a small body of water that you construct. yourself if you have the water rights to any source you use or interfere with.

Salmon and mini lakes are developed and a great place to fish and relax. We hope that resolution to this irritant is forthcoming.

Secretariat wins tripe crown in horse racing.

The city dyke on Voght Street is very visible and the water only briefly lapped at it earlier this week.

Rain seems not to have effected the river as the dam let a lot go last week when the dyke was tested. A local ready mix supplied the sand  the poly procured from a unknown source . However the paid firemen and forestry fireman did the installation. There was no clear emergency  however some flood warnings were posted in recent weeks. Cool weather with some rain also is contributing to less run off.
