The labour day weekend looms large as soon the kids will be back at school putting a nail in the coffin of the summer driving season. There is no reason to think that the demand of one weekend should put a pressure on gas prices as futures buying should keep it stable. Unplanned for events are as said unplanned for and can effect prices. So good luck to those 37 million American and untold Canadians as they visit and see as summer ends. Gas prices are trending down in Merritt the last few weeks.
The British Columbian government is looking to fund ideas for economic parity for those that want to close that gap.
FCM’s Toward Parity in Municipal Politics program is looking for local initiatives that will look to strengthen opportunities or reduce barriers for women to fully participate in municipal politics/local government. The deadline to apply for demonstration project funding is August 28. 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.

All that is planted does not grow. However look at this from TD Bank.
Continuing to grow and enhance green spaces for everyone to enjoy. Supporting the transition to a low carbon economy – with a CAD $100 billion target in low-carbon lending, financing, asset management and other programs by 2030.

Carbon neutral bank
TD claims carbon neutral since 2010 in its operations. One of its mission statements is to ” develop colleagues and act with resect” Something that seems missing in the present social political climate.
Trying not failure
Even though the trees above failed to take effort always leaves a legacy of knowledge!
Canadian Chartered banks excellent.
The chartered bank system in Canada was in the forefront of the survival of the world banking system in the collapse of many large investment banks at the start of the great recession in the decade after the millennium turning. Lets hope they can be as productive in the carbon conflict.
Good luck.

Bear warning signs Black bear attacks are extremely rare. A threatened or predatory black bear will give off warning signs to let you know you are too close. If a black bear stands on its hind legs this is not aggressive behaviour, and the bear is trying to get a better look at you or “catch your scent”. A defensive bear A bear that feels threatened will: salivate excessively and exhale loudly make huffing, moaning, clacking and popping sounds with its mouth, teeth and jaws lower its head with its ears drawn back while facing you charge forward, and/or swat the ground with its paws (known as a ‘bluff’ charge). A predatory bear The bear will approach silently, usually in rural or remote areas, and may continue to approach regardless of your attempts to deter them by yelling or throwing rocks. If the bear attacks: Use bear spray. Fight back with everything you have. Do not play dead unless you are sure a mother bear is attacking in defence of her cubs.
