Gurn Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Minor quibble- Doerkson is likely not crossing the floor, but moving to a different seat on the same side of the floor. Usual seating arrangement being government on one side oppositions on the other.- though that can change based on set distribution. --------------------- Will add- I don't like seeing parties destroy themselves this close to an election. reduced options are not truly good for democracy. Like watching the federal Green party destroy themselves under Ms Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Looks like Willy fought a broom handle but the broom handle won. Shame on B.C authorities for dragging their feet in this case. The fact that these women were in sex trade and many were FN, definitely didn’t help the case. At least taxpayers don’t have to support him in prison anymore. https://vancouversun.com/news/crime/serial-killer-robert-pickton-dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in regard to the Food Bank grade. We didn't have good grades. Barely passing. We should probably tie the number of people we bring with the number of housing we build in some sort of fashion and on wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, how do ‘we’ continue to keep putting people into ‘us’ without housing/jobs/food? Something is out of sorts no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own a home here you;re about to become an overnight millionaire. Just saying. Look at property in Spain, Greece Italy Portugal and Belize or Nicaragua.

Just saying Just my dad, and aunt left in B.C., once they've passed on I'm open to moving elsewhere and living off the difference in property value. a friend of mine was looking into going back east, towards the Walton Nova Scotia area-apparently there is a 20-25 mile 'micro climate' with not much snow at all, and nice views of the Bay Of Fundy. Or out of the country altogether, but it can't be to an area that is much warmer than B.C.- as heat is my personal kryptonite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's son bought 15 acres of waterfront property in Nova Scotia and wail be moving there with his girlfriend. The weather is defiantly unpredictable. I have another friend who lives in New Brunswick and said we should retire there. He has property there that is along the border. My problem is I have a great Doctor that I do not want to lose. When I have a blood test he will call me about the results out of the blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
