Ask AI

It appears you might be asking about the structure and function of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE). Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:
* Foundation and Purpose:
   * The BPOE is a fraternal order founded in 1868.
   * Its core principles are “Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity.”
   * They focus on community service, charitable work, and supporting veterans.
* Organizational Structure:
   * The BPOE has a hierarchical structure with local lodges, state associations, and a national organization.
   * Each lodge is led by an “Exalted Ruler.”
   * They have established rituals and traditions, some of which draw inspiration from other fraternal organizations.
* Effectiveness and Stability:
   * The Elks have a long history of community involvement and charitable giving, indicating a stable and effective organization.
   * They are known for their support of veterans, scholarships, and various community programs.

BC Cabinet, Wednesday charm.

Teams are won and will win when working together for a common cause  that is worthy of suffering. That may include personal glory for public good.

The newly elected tedious majority government has appointed a cabinet. Premier David EBY has made his choices and they’ve been proclaimed and published. Now it looks pretty good. Former policeman Begg is in charge of the province’s perspective on public safety. 

Many competent people in not only the government but the loyal opposition whose job it is to provide  reasonable alternatives to policies.

Rip Hans Kruse

Hans Kruse recently passed from this life and we remember him as the driver literally and figuratively for HK trucking in Merritt BC. And the trucking magnet for this little place took advantage of deregulation in a 1980s that saw  trucking deregulated in BC, licenses were given out but tariffs or rates we’re wide open for competition.

High times

Entrepreneurship was the catchy of the day. Many people held down a full-time job in a mine or a mill + yet there was a Proprietoratory drive that saw small business on the part-time level as well as a small mom and pops  like HK struggle to succeed. More than extra money and the less than economies of scale. But individualism had its way,

However, not without casualties. We won’t go into that right at this point 😞 But you know in life that one’s freedom is often somebody else’s peril.

Good luck no passing in the saints lane.
