So, start planning your Halloween costume now. Make a statement!

Alow All levels of government to catch up after covid.

J Trudeau

The government has announced that it’s going to be tougher to find temporary workers and students from other countries will be having more trouble. This seems to be generating a little bit of a bad will with those affected, which maybe you and me eventually. However

Growth a determinate

Both this is determined in  economic planning and demographics and everything that goes into a plan to expand somewhere without growth. It’s you know I don’t know. Hard to imagine.

Be adaptable. Be flexible. Another new challenge.

Saturday SOP

You made it to the weekend now. Relax a little bit with some cozy Autumn morning live music.

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.

Tanker traffic up…

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.

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.
