Cry, why, sing, fling, tears toddle off.

So,  the sense to go on needs the sense to be victorious and overcoming. The essence of faith is power not collapse.

Alberta oil to Alaska FP

The amount of tractor traffic off Vancouver is increasing exponentially with trans mountains, a new ability to move Alberta oil from the BC Coast. Recently a shipment. I left Vancouver for Alaska, the first in about a decade.

TMX

The recent completion of the Trans mountain expansion, another line going along the one from the 1950s has tripled the ability to move tarsands oil or Alberta oil to other markets.

Rate cut

Some hope,  some relief in the cost of housing in Canada.

Deep Cove North Vancouver.

Preparation

Once in a hundred years? 

This event was documented as a once in a hundred year event. There was clearly some preparation and a sense of relaxing in it. The deluge came very quickly; officials are looking to see if this is a new normal.

Tragedy in Canada

Filed under: photos KDG, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
Weather

Sanctuary status Disturbed.

Canada’s status as being a sanctuary with and for nature and against nature has been Disturbed. Over eons of time, the continent’s preferred location in the ecosystem found the migration of many species of Flora and fauna that served to make a protective and stable system in our country on the Precambrian Canadian shield.

We are not used to disturbances. They come from time to time but they’ve always seemed to be under control. So let’s hope this warning gives us leave, not just to be thankful but to look at our standards.

History lived through…

Filed under: Government Works by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment

What major historical events do you remember?

I was a citizen and a young person in Canada when the British North America act was repatriated and made into the Constitution act for Canada.

Freedom guaranteed

Home rule comes home to Canada

Attached to the legislation was the charter of Rights and Freedoms for Canadians. A significance was that people would have their freedoms codified as opposed to determined by common law. In other words Court decisions. Meaning that anything is done, any laws had to be at the standard of charter proof.

Death at the hand of weather, in BC…

Claimed lives change things

So, this is a point of change. We are not used in British Columbia to a cheap value to life. We take it serious that preventable lives lost are happening in the din of politicalization of dangers and the too often quick dismissive attitude  not backed up by science, basic precepts of law, or common sense.

We at the proprietary review ask people to rethink their presentation of opinion to knowing and do the proper research before you endorse even vicariously the easy dismissal of things like vaccines, flood danger, a fire danger and such this will bring you more peace and keep your conscience from being troubled at night.

Sometimes and more and more than before a statement of I don’t know enough about those things to give a responsible reply . Can I get back to you..

Please base your talk on views that can be verified.

This is now serious.

Local state of emergency North Vancouver

Sunday Night after an atmospheric River, a local state of emergency was declared in North Vancouver. Six properties were put on  evacuation by mandatory order. The properties are in Deep Cove.

Not as bad as this,  but Nature surprises have no redemption. If you’re unprepared, be prepared for anything K

Oscar

Canada has issued a weather alert concerning hurricane Oscar that would affect possible people going to Cuba.

Weather is to be respected
Voting time in BC

This atmospheric River showed up around election day. Is the universe trying to tell somebody something? Not how to vote we don’t think. But we need to have a life and we have to be careful with our stuff 😔
