That's gorgeous! I have a pic from when we rode that trail, but much later in the season so no wildflowers in bloom.

Kn.

Did he crash or was he ordered to do pushups for being a "bad boy"?

:scream:

Nice helmet.

For a real challenge, ride the line between the two wood ramps.

> Gerbil Cage! I saw them pulling a British guy out of this stunt on a stretcher.

Not the gerbil cage. This pic is the Zipper.

So Victoria dumping raw sewage into the ocean is a problem after all?  Never saw that one coming.  /s

WWTP in operation by Dec 31, 2020.

Wait times for surgery are improving gradually.  For knee replacement, it's now improved to having 59% of surgeries within the set guideline of 182 days (6 months).  Also, it's important to keep in mind that our system uses triage techniques, so it is NOT first in line gets the surgery first - highest priorities go to top of the list.  Someone who can walk with a cane will have to wait behind someone who can't walk at all.

Of course, it takes a while for the lunacy created by the previous organized crime supporting, money laundering gov gets cleared out, but there have been ORs re-opened that were closed by the BC (neo)Liberals, along with other small steps.

The devil?  I'm not sure that applies.

But, a sociopath who wants to commoditize the health and well-being of BC citizens for his personal profit ... well, I'd buy me some of that sentiment.

Can anyone translate?

Amazon getting gubmint subsidies is not right.

Any corp getting subsidies is not right, unless they're startups that have a large upside.

Apparently Tesla gets a lot of government subsidies.

One can always back a statement up with facts and data!!

At least with Tesla, the subsidy is going toward a forward-looking venture, rather than companies that contribute to our environmental problems, like most of the others in the list.

Considering 3/4 of the country is an oven at the best of times I can't believe they could vote for an asshole that denies climate change and boosts coal production.

Apparently, appealing to people's most basic fears, creating "us vs. them" divisiveness, and just plain ole populism is in vogue these days.

Notley decided to create 2 election bureaucracies last year. Kenney is cutting it back down to 1, like it was from 1905 to 2018. This move will save $200,000 a year.

The second bureaucracy was created to keep the investigators independent and free from political interference.

$200k/yr is less than rounding error in provincial budgets.  Some might put forward that maintaining a transparent democracy is worth a lot more than that.

"Paleo" diet is based entirely on lies.

Blows my mind how many people buy pickups that don't really have a day-to-day need for a pickup.  Ffs, for the two days a year you need to actually haul a load, or tow something heavy, just rent the damn truck.  Buy something that costs a lot less to buy, run and maintain.

You know they can be reused year to year right?

Not really.

"6. How should poppies be disposed of?

Placing them at a memorial for veterans at the end of Nov. 11 is particularly respectful. Reusing them next year isn’t."

"5. Don't recycle to reuse this year's poppy, next year.

That is a definite no-no. Disposal is left to the discretion of the wearer. Placing it in the recycling bin is acceptable."
