Japan is a seafood loving , long life expectancy, going to sea nation. Claiming poverty for living space because of a lage population on 5 main islands, there are thousands of small islands under their control .
Dolphins range about and have individual characters
Dolphins are distinct from Porpoise ( not by being aimless and without porpoise) but by their teeth Dolphin teeth are conical Porpoise teeth are Flattened.
Japanese History as Seamen
The Japanese have a tradition of seamanship and vessels. They are not to be mistaken for the Chinese and their junks. Both have a long trading history with the middle east and the sill road when it was mostly navigated by following the long coastline. Their craft resembles the Arabic sloops of that time.
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.

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.

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..

Candidates have until day 21 at two past morning time to register as a candidate.
Take note on who was prepared as this is an election that was called to straighten out parliament 2 years before the regulated day. If many candidates did not get their parties nomination through a contest it is likely that they were not ready. Oppositions are there to oppose and provide an alternative to the ruling party. The official opposition is always in a state of some readiness coming from the fact they have official critics that get budget from parliament to be prepared as an alternative if their critics’ weaken the confidence in the governing party..
Independents
There are some that go through the necessary filing and obtaining of nominators to get a platform for there view point. There is all candidate forums and they get to present to the interested public, along with those with party nominations.
Good luck and good manners waiting your turn to present when ears are open,; to anyone who try’s.

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.
