Environmental assessment waived

The company has just been directed to do everything as efficiently as possible and they’re waiving the environmental assessment.

So, this author says that ” The atmosphere is in mode but the ocean currents are out of sync” paraphrased.

Rainy and wet…

Anyway, let’s hope that next spring is more wet than the last few years, especially here in South Central interior, British Columbia where we feel it the most.

Snow for slopes

Canada Post back to work

Apparently an impasse or something has stifled negotiations and the government is preparing to order them back to work. This could be a cooling off. Her could be arbitration. But for some elements of the community, it’ll be welcome relief.
