To the seasons of life
Three days to hang and to stay the fray.
Six months past the last true count.
Yet to see why a story of whoa, or a happy blow.
Years of slide to an end unclear, why the pry to undear.
Free but not, as blood still calls to many and few.
The price of wrath still abides, causing stow.
Now let go the dear is dear...

Toward Parity’s national consultations have prioritized interventions that focus on mentorship, increasing access to information and breaking down informal networking, and decision-making. While projects are welcome in any category, priority will be given to initiatives that support one of these areas of intervention.
Projects are eligible for up to $5,000 in funding. The grants are intended to be either seed funding to incubate a new idea and gain support for gender equality in the community or to scale up an idea or initiative that has shown promise.
The application deadline is August 28, 2019 at 11 p.m. PT. The project must be implemented between mid-September 2019 and June 1, 2020.

Every one moves in a direction ethically sound to them. So Parliament has an independent ethics commissioner to keep the legislature true to some standard above us. He ruled on Trudeau visiting on the Aga Khans dime as being unethical even though the published standard is that it is only unethical if its not and established family friend paying the fares. But here is the kick, The RCMP security bill was out of sight at least$127,000 dollars. For a regime that came about in part by a feel good Liberal conscience party after the visage of a Vancouver connected drowned refuge child washed up on a foreign shore we all had ethical conflict.
That Christmas no one should have been comfortable in their celebration unless they rationalized it against things like the security bill for the Trudeau Christmas either subvertally or overtly. I guess we don’t need that rationalization any more as the deserving virtue of that image is now overwhelmed by moral tiredness and blame .
In the days ahead lets try to have our ethics go up and sideways instead meeting them on the way down.

An interesting quirk the city of Merritt is offering free business licences to Buskers.
Merritt is a little different they issue a full business licence to those that rent or use public property to direct sell. A full business licence gives an inspection regime to the city because you invite the general public to your physical business. They regulate space for retail and other public safety issues. They may attend to inspect as a member of the public or rely on complaints. Many other inspection issues get attention through statutes that regulate health and safety and are by in large the responsibility of higher governments.
Unless a Busker has written his songs or has a public performers licence from the owners a copyright liability may occur from his playing. In theory the liability may fall on a property owner hosting the performance by permission or omission.
A peddlers licence can give a busker at the discretion of an official a temporary licence. A bylaw official may at his discretion impose a move in a number of hours condition. These types of licences are usually only a few dollars.
Performers are registered by sponsors such as City or Chambers and are not generally soliciting money directly.
A direct sellers licence is required to sell direct for certain industries such as funeral insurance, travel agencies, bill collectors and other vulnerable sales activities. They are also regulated under consumer protection acts that say they have to have a name tag and address on their person. and you have the right to stop payment on checks issued with in a certain time with out violating a contract.
There are lots of ways to support free expression safely enjoy the music and keep safe.

Hey Merit what do you say?
