2024 Summer Olympics Paris France Winter 2030 bid.
The 2024 Summer Olympics is next year in Paris France. The notation of the AI above makes reference to the Olympics perhaps the CBC is up to something but it would make more sense if they were doing something in Paris…
We are leaving that reference in the AI article because of the 2010 Olympics and the similarity of expectations even though one was weeks and the other is months people had to prepare. So do your phone research on the CBC and the Olympics and AI as we are doing.

Lets see what my AI has to say about this issue…
2030 Vancouver Olympic bid.
The potential for a 2030 Vancouver Olympic bid has been gaining traction in recent years. Despite setbacks and opposition, supporters of the bid believe that it could be an opportunity for Indigenous reconciliation and for the city to showcase its beauty and hospitality on a global stage once again. The bid has faced criticism over concerns about the environmental impact, cost, and displacement of communities. However, proponents of the bid argue that it could bring economic benefits, infrastructure improvements, and a sense of pride and community spirit to Vancouver. The fate of the bid remains uncertain, but the possibility of hosting another Olympics has sparked excitement and debate among Vancouverites and the global sports community alike. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story, and let us know your thoughts on a potential 2030 Vancouver Olympic bid in the comments below.
They saved a park and made a plea, this will effect you and me.
The effect will stickle our bones, like meat and spuds do tickle.
Results may vary but stay not contrary, we do claim, to our fame.
To the layers fast and slow, the choice to go with the stayers.

The ubcm, Union of British Columbia municipalities, has announced an old growth forest recession. The ubcm is the forum for local governments to come together to get a United viewpoint to present to senior levels of levels of government, so as in this case as always their focus is on local government members. However as a resident of BC it would be good to stay informed if you do have an interest in this. The work of association such as ubcm is the quiet effective way to accommodate views for thoughtful presentations to senior governments.
Whether it’s by the community’s ACT or a particular charter the senior governments and the laws they make are what govern us. So. As a resident of BC with any kind of interest and how old growth is managed you may be well off to speak to your local elected officials about your views and how they might present them at this or other types of gatherings.
