The Proprietor Review

Media tour from 2018 Burnaby Terminal Expansion plans highlighted.

The Trans Mountain expansion is on going and the Burnaby tanker port will be expanded. with tanker loads going from five a month to about 34.

Panamax Tanker in service.

The Trans Mountain oil is taken with a Panamax tanker, meaning as the name implys the ocean going ship is for operation through the panama canal.

Panamax Tankers: The panamax tankers operate in the region of Panama, especially the Panama Canal. The tanker size is designed as per the size regulations set by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP). The size aspect is very important when it comes to panamax tankers because if the size is not monitored while the tanker is being constructed, then it could pose a lot of problems while the ship is in motion. The operation of the first panamax tanker started in the year 1914 and they are still popular and useful as they were nine decades ago.

Indigenous Market to compete with.

The pipelines in Canada go north south to the US and there is no shortage of capacity to bring that Canadian product south or American north, the TMX expansion will serve the Californian and Asian market. Those two markets are Indigenous ones getting their oil from Alaska.

Good Evening

Hey another private supply mission was scrubbed over weather on Saturday. The 5000 lb pay load will have a window for another try after 3 am EST Sunday the 29th. So it may show up and be docked with another Musk Falcon rocket already docked at the ISS around breakfast time. Any how here is a you tube live view from NASA to enjoy what ever activity is their on Sunday. Regards

Private corporations for space…

The unlimited budget and hundred’s of thousands of workers from the cold war space race is passed and Nasa is developing private contactors for some of its more routine work. Sunday will see another window for a SpaceX corporation Falcon 9 cargo rocket to launch a mission to the ISS.

Three contenders in the US.

Leading the pack of contract hopeful is Elon Musk and his Spacex corporation. ( noted for putting one of his EV cars into orbit) with a man playing the radio in the drivers seat. Sir Richard Branson with Virgin Galactic, is next, then Jeff Bezos of Paypal fame, another billionaire with the itch for space tourism

China, Russia Israel and many other countries are reaching for the stars, They are mostly driven by a need to experience and learn, something that stokes the public interest. Good luck.

Space the moving target…

The union of British Columbia municipalities is the organization between the government and municipalities in British Columbia. They say they are excited about having a convention this year. After an all-digital one in 2020 this year’s convention is about optimism and how problems can be presented as an opportunity rather than a problem.

The forum for local government.

Your representatives at the municipal level are able to bring resolutions to the floor of the ubcm so it is also your opportunity to approach your local officials about the possibility of activity on or off the floor at the convention. A resolution passed could eventually make it through to provincial legislation. The effect of being grassroots democracy.

Good good luck to all those who take the time and give their ideas for this public good. Don’t worry about giving up your idea it just makes room for another one. Thoughtful public interest we’ll see the theme to be realized and that public good will come back to you in a tangible way.

Anticipating speakers and networking through a quality virtual convention..

Information on registration will be found at ubcm.ca after July 5th.

Editors note.

The time tested and published Roberts Rules requiring presence at quorum and voting is still our best practice view. Giving every one opportunity to vote is very important as well. Remote or absent should be handled with extreme care. PP
