Good one WCT

Who am I answer not worth it.

Sad, but a reality in this world. Good for these Western Canada theater group performers. This is something that all young and older women have to know even at the cost of less adventure and discovery of self. The grief of the loss is awful and effects those that are left most terribly.

WCT and the sagebrush theater are in Kamloops BC a community that was situated in an rural highway connected province worth discovering and malaise has been felt from time to time against innocence.

Energy level a concern.

Editors note:

Parliament is the authority in law making, a premier will always build confidence with it. If it is in danger of loss that would be I’m the case of having to reverse a process such as one on a large announced commitment then the prudent thing to do is what he announced today. Thank you for your service…
