Highlights

Health is not issue for the 63 year old 36 year public service veteran.

Spouse and Horgan agree on it being time.

Will use remaining time to pursue federal commitments untill new leader is in place.

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…

There has been an announcement on watetshead programs in BC.

New ministry, “climate change is here we need to look out for BC’s interests in this era ” paraphrasing John Horgan BC premier.

Part of Merritt’s watershed is the Nicola plateau, everything east of Kelowna comes through Douglas lake down to the lake and continues with the Nicola river system mixing with the Coldwater river into the Thompson River at Spences bridge into the Fraser and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean.

Today BC

As of today, April 8th 2022 vaccine restrictions are off as it relates to showing proof to gain access to any public places or events.

There is a federal proof that is required for travel outside the country as yet. Canada in recent years has developed a good reputation for travel visa openness and trust it would be nice to see that again..

Lets hope and do to reduce. World conflict to have that feeling of liberty again.

Here’s to better times.
