Premiers Ideas to assist the forestry industry nothing but thin air and far too late to save anyone.

“  The B.C. government will do more to expand markets and opportunities for local wood products globally and within the province in an effort to boost the forest industry, Premier Gordon Campbell said Wednesday.
Campbell said he will adapt a “wood first strategy” aimed at increasing the use of B.C. wood in publicly funded buildings across [...]

Bits and Bites – Wednesday January 14th, 2009

Good morning to all!
I have, in uncustomary manner, posted three separate posts this morning, so I would urge  you to scroll down to see what else is going on around Metro Vancouver. It seems we have finally reached the end of the snow, and perhaps even the rain for a while, so get out and enjoy it [...]

Who is in charge of local news online lately?

Sea to Sky highway will cost over $600 million- so why do they get to drive for free?

As a taxpayer in the province of BC, I have a question for the transportation minister, Kevin Falcon, and our Premier Gordon Campbell.
The Golden Ears Bridge project costs $800 million  and will be a toll bridge to cover costs.

From the mountains to the sea……

Message in a Bottle

 
I thought you strived, wanting to be a better man.
what I missed was
the part where your fingers were crossed.

I hope that call, that lovely lonely stranger, the sweet sexy voice
who makes you sweat
fills your boring lunch
break

Is able to fulfill the space of the one you forgot
I’m no longer strong enough
to put myself back [...]

The call of the Crayolas

No post this morning – I have a ‘hot’ date on the carpet with my three year old, his colouring book and some brand spanking new Crayola’s…..

…..AND IT’S NOT EVEN APRIL 1ST!

Let’s talk even MORE politics!
I think most of you know my political leanings. Well, at least that I’m not even close to what you would call a fan of the either BC Liberals or federal Liberals. A cursory look at my feed will tell you that in general the Liberals have provided me with more than enough material to [...]

Truth, lies and the internet. Where is YOUR information ending up?

As a freelance writer and blogger, I’m straight up with my audience about who I am and what I do. I don’t require anybody to submit their personal information to me in order to get approval to post comments, and I don’t work for anyone who might use the information people leave, or post, for [...]
