Israel strikes Syria in third day of attacks

The Guardian is reporting that "The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months."

Syria begins troop withdrawal from Druze-majority Suwayda

The Daily Sabah is reporting that "Syria announced Wednesday that its military had begun withdrawing from the southern province of Suwayda following heavy clashes, Israeli airstrikes on Damascus, and a U.S. call for all sides to de-escalate tensions in the majority-Druze region."

Operation land grab is still in effect

First the CIA led a coup in Syria to block the rival pipeline.

Then they encouraged the Druze to revolt so that Israel can save them and take their land for their Greater Israel map. They didn't save the Donbas when Zelensky was bombing them. 


Turkey charge Comancheros with drug trafficking

The Daily Sabah reported that "A case has been filed against 66 suspects, including the leader and members of the international armed organized crime group Comanchero, with prison sentences of up to 262 years."

"The group was founded in 1968 by Jock Ross in Australia and has been heavily involved in global drug trafficking since its inception." The Comancheros are an Australian MC involved in the local drug trade. 

This bust involved an existing drug trafficking network. The recent Brother's Keepers bust was a sting. That means US Intelligence agencies orchestrated the ring and our Surrey guy said OK. There is a big difference between these two busts. 

"9. Following the pickups of the methamphetamine, CS-1 led SIAN, and others to believe that he/she had their drugs and was safely storing them until they could be consolidated forshipment via ship from Los Angeles to Australia. He/she then led SIAN, and others, to believe the drugs were on a ship to Australia."

This means that without the police informant, these drugs never would have gone to Australia. It wasn't an existing drug ring. It was a new market the Intelligence agencies orchestrated. 

"11. The Ankara Country Office explained that the drug trafficking organization was looking for assistance in transporting its drugs from South America and Mexico through Southern California to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand."

"12. Agents from HIDTA 48 gave DEA’s Ankara Country Office a phone number for a HIDTA Group 48 confidential source, CS-1, who could pass him/herself off as a broker who could facilitate the international shipment of drugs from Los Angeles." The crystal meth came from Mexico.

"85. For all of the reasons described above, there is probable cause to believe that OPINDER SINGH SIAN, aka CAIN, aka Thanos and aka Opie, has committed a violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 963, 953(a), 960(a)(1), (b)(1)(H): Conspiracy to export at least 50 grams of methamphetamine."

Everything else is a whole lot of hearsay evidence.

An Agent for the DEA swore an affidavit stating that their CI claims Sian and several coaccused said this and that. Did they say this and that? We don't know. A paid CI claims they did. 

It brings us back to the Mr Big Sting. Even if someone did say this or that to Mr Big, we have no way of knowing if what they said was true because there is a very real possibility they were lying just to impress Mr Big. 

Don't get me wrong. I oppose drug trafficking. Fentanyl is a horrible drug. It's just that the CIA is and always has been the largest drug trafficking organization on the planet. 

Everything they say is a lie. Including the screen shot from that movie of Bill Majcher they gave to Sam Cooper. Sam Cooper is a mouthpiece for CSIS and has a hate for China. Yet he doesn't say a word about organ harvesting. He's only concerned with China's drug trafficking which like Iran, isn't real. 

The CIA traffic drugs then blame someone else for what they do just like a false flag attack. The CIA run the crystal meth out of Myanmar (Burma). Up until the US withdrawal, the CIA ran the heroin out of Afghanistan. As soon as the Taliban put a stop to that, fentanyl is everywhere. So the CIA has been trafficking all that cocaine, heroin and crystal meth for all those years and all of a sudden we are supposed to believe they aren't responsible for the fentanyl? I don't believe that. Not one word.

Plan to fence off Nanaimo, BC city hall to protect from overdose site disorder

As one commenter pointed out, Fraser Valley Today is reporting that "The City of Nanaimo, B.C., is considering building a 1.8-metre-high fence to protect its staff from congregations of people, violence and disorder associated with an overdose prevention site next to city hall."

"Staff proposing the $412,000 fence cite “intimidation and harassment” of employees, particularly those working early or late, as well as damage to staff vehicles, fires near doorways and building perimeters, human waste, and a general deterioration of the site."

This is the epitome of NDP stupidity. Stop feeding the problem. The fence isn't a bad idea. The failed lethal injection site is. 

Brothers' Keeper busted in LA to Australia meth sting

Update: This was a sting. The DEA set it up.

On the radio I heard a bold headline claiming that a member of the Brother's Keepers from Surrey was busted in an international drug smuggling ring. It was a sting operation that smuggled crystal meth from Los Angeles to Australia and it somehow involved Turkey. Like that's not suspicious.

The fake news said this is why Washington is concerned about drug smuggling out of Vancouver. GMAFB. The crystal meth was going from LA to Australia. It wasn't going from China to Australia it was going from LA to Australia. 

The fake news is really streamlining. Now they're getting AI to reprint Five Eyes press releases. No one is allowed to use their brain or investigate the claims. 

Global is reporting that "According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, Surrey gangster Opinder Singh Sian was at the centre of a vast conspiracy to import precursor chemicals from China and export narcotics through the port of Los Angeles to Australia. Sian was well known in Vancouver organized crime circles. He was linked to the Brothers Keepers and survived a shooting in 2008, as well as another in 2011."

They tried to kill him twice. That means he was disposable. 

Precursors from China to where? Mexico? The crystal meth was going from LA to Australia. Perhaps Australia should sanction the United States for being a hub in their crystal meth epidemic. The Vancouver Sun threw in fentanyl precursors around the globe and claimed he was tied to the infamous Irish Kinahan gang. There so infamous no one's heard of them. They operate out of Spain and Dubai and are hiding from the IRA splinter groups who shoot drug dealers dead. 

Opinder doesn't look Irish. The Vancouver Sun claims "The Kinahan gang started in Dublin in the 1990s, but is now headquartered in Dubai. It has close ties to Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel. Links to Iran and Hezbollah." 

Iran and Hezbollah? GMAFB. I guess the Vancouver Sun is written by CSIS AI now as well. They just keep repeating ridiculous claims without ever questioning them. 

We know it's fake news when Sam Cooper, the king of CSIS propaganda steps up to the plate. Sammy's headline reads "DEA Busts Canadian Narco Whose Chinese Supplier Promised to Ship 100 Kilos of Fentanyl Precursors per Month From Vancouver to Los Angeles." For f*ck sakes doesn't any one of you have any morals or self respect? 

Let's talk about the first red flag and then connect the dots. On the radio they mentioned Turkey. That was the first red flag. Turkey, Iran, Dubai, the Brother's Keepers. No doubt they're going to try and resurrect their missing agent Naji Sharifi Zindashti. Naji was a drug dealer of Iranian descent that had ties to Turkey and hired the Brother's Keepers to do a drug related hit for him in Dubai.

The Five Eyes lied and said Naji hired Damion Ryan to do a drug related hit for him in the US. Only the Five Eyes didn't say it was a drug related hit. They said it was a hit for the Iranian government who wanted them to kill Iranian dissidents. That part was a lie. Naji was a Kurd. His father was part of the resistance against the government of Iran. Naji wasn't working for Iran, he was working for the Five Eyes.

Naji was a drug dealer. Drug dealing is highly frowned upon in Iran. Naji was caught drug dealing in Iran and was given a life sentence. He escaped prison by murdering  a prison guard. Naji wasn't working for the government of Iran killing dissidents. He was working for himself killing drug dealing rivals. He did hire the Brother's Keeper to kill a rival in Dubai but that had nothing to do with Iran or dissidents. 

Just like they lied about that German Hells Angel Mossad killed in Iran. The guy grew up in Germany and was of Iranian descent. After Mossad killed him they photo shopped a tattoo of a swastika and Adolf Hitler's face on his arm

The guy grew up in Germany and was a member of the Hells Angels in Germany. Nazi symbols are banned there. They don't idolize Hitler in Germany like Putin idolizes Stalin. Nazi symbols and Hitler portraits are not socially acceptable in Germany. 

The guy was Persian. WTF would he get a tattoo of Hitler? He didn't. Mossad photo shopped it on his arm after they killed him. In all the other pictures of his tattoos, the swastika and one of Hitler wasn't there. They added it themselves.

In this new press release they even had the audacity to mention Hezbollah. That is ridiculous. They threw in everything but the kitchen sink. This was a sting operation that involved the Five Eyes. The CIA are the drug dealers. They use the Hells Angels to sell drugs then burn their asset just like they did for Noriega

Haaretz reported that "Manuel Noriega, the former Panamanian dictator who died on Monday at 83, used to wear Israeli paratrooper wings, owned a seaside villa in Herzliya and even sent his children to Jewish day school – all due to his tight ties with an ex-Mossad agent widely thought to be Panama's second most influential figure during the Eighties." Smuggling cocaine

Much of the crystal meth in Australia came from Myanmar (Burma). The CIA run that. The CIA created the Golden Triangle. All this crystal meth in Australia comes from the CIA. 

Stupid Yuppie rap beefs - Get a job

I haven't been covering this because it's stupid. I've talked about how Canadian rappers have lost their way in life. Tupac left us with the Ghetto Gospel and they dropped the ball. They never evolved. They're still a bunch of clowns coveting ridiculous jewelry or stupid sneakers. That is a pathetic life.

The Dirty News has been covering this Rap conference in London where Top5 got stabbed. It's a circus side show of stupidity. Top5 has been aching to get in the news. I saw him as a poser and refused to write about him. It appears that he's friends with Drake who is an idiot.

Drake had a career. He was a pop star. Little girls liked him and he liked little girls. That's what Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us diss referred to. He said Drake is always trying to strike a cord but it's probably A minor. It was funny and fitting. Drake's history with young girls is well documented. Now his legal team is suing Kendrick's label for a diss track. That is pathetic. 

Back in the day, being from the hood meant having to struggle, growing up poor. It didn't mean being a plastic yuppie with no morals. So many young kids convert rappers because they don't want to get a job and go to work. It's that simple. 

Rappers are not role models. First responders are. People who work hard and struggle are role models. These yuppies creating drama over stupid beefs are circus clowns. They're fake. Get Real. Be Real. Get a job and get paid. Sing about that. 

First responder living paycheque to paycheque

A bitter coworker told me this story the other day. He's recently been through a divorce and has likely faced the rental market for the first time in many years. He originally owned his own home at an early age because he was frugal. 

So he tells me this story of a first responder that was in the news. We don't know what kind of first responder. We're  assuming paramedic. He had a career that he had to train for. 

He was married with kids and owned his own townhouse in Toronto. Then he went through a messy divorce. Legal fees sucked up all the equity in their home. Now he needs to find a place to rent with rooms for his kids and pay child support. He went from owning his own home to renting and living pay cheque to pay cheque. He has a career and is living in poverty. 

I get it. When I went through my divorce it was financially tough but now it's much worse. The cost of housing makes it extremely difficult to pay child support and maintain a residence where the kids can spend the night. I mentioned a coworker who went through that and committed suicide. He simply couldn't do the math. How can I pay child support and pay rent at the same time? There's nothing left over for anything. 

My coworker said yeah and nobody is allowed to talk about that. Things could be worse but times are tough. There's no disputing that fact. Are we going to kick the cat and blame someone else or are we going to get to work and do something about it?

Deporting all the immigrants and everyone who disagrees with us is not going to solve the problem. We need to take responsibility for what we do and not blame others for the choices we make. Paying immigrants not to work is a big part of the problem. No economy can sustain that. Brutalizing hard working immigrants who work long hours for little pay isn't going to solve the problem either. That's just going to increase inflation by making the things we buy more expensive. 

We need to realize that although financial stress is real, money doesn't buy happiness. $200,00.00 for a new Rolex is gluttony. Why would you spend that much money on something so worthless even if you had it? To brag? To show off? That's really shallow and pointless. 

Meanwhile back in the real world, 50% of Canadians are living pay cheque to pay cheque. It's obviously easier to pay rent if you have a room mate or a mortgage if you have a partner but if that relationship breaks down, boom, everything is gone. 

It reiterates how ridiculous these yuppie rappers look who are trying to create drama over a new watch or pair of sneakers. That is a pathetic life. They have no substance. They have no morals. They have no soul. They are empty and meaningless.

When I was young owning a home on a single income was within reach. Then it took two incomes and you had to rent out the basement. Now it's just insane. Things are getting tougher financially. That's real. 

One of the main problems in Metro Vancouver is the lack of rental buildings. Everybody was obsessed with making a quick buck with all that free money. They'd buy a place and rent it out to pay the mortgage as an investment. 

They stopped building complexes for rental. The government doesn't have to building housing for everyone. Local city Halls have to approve more complexes that are for rent. Rental income is slower to profit from than the quick flip but will be a big help in the housing market for those who struggle.

Trump's flip on the Epstein files is his terminal cancer

Overture of the Nova Scotia Mass Murders

Ottawa life is reporting that "Paul Palango’s Anatomy of a Cover-Up: The Truth about the RCMP and the Nova Scotia Massacres is a gripping and deeply unsettling exposé that continues to dominate Canadian bestseller lists—including the Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail—for good reason."

"Drawing on thousands of pages of commission documents, interviews, and forensic evidence, Palango builds a compelling case that the RCMP’s handling of the tragedy was not just flawed but potentially compromised. He explores the possibility that Wortman may have had ties to law enforcement or was acting as a police agent—an explosive theory that the commission largely sidestepped. The book doesn’t just ask hard questions—it demands accountability."

Paul Palango's new book definitely opens Pandora's box but his conclusions are completely different from my conclusions. He cites a whole list of abnormalities and falsified evidence then basically says nothing to see here folks. The RCMP suck and need to be disbanded. That's all there is but is it really?

When investigating a crime we need to examine means and motive. We consider alternate theories. If we refuse to admit 9/11 was an inside job and we refuse to examine orchestrated events, then we pretty much miss the whole point of a real investigation. Is it simply a whitewash? I didn't think so but if we refuse to examine the obvious it starts to look that way.   

The mainstream media is worthless. Trying to win them over is pointless. There are a lot of people in Nova Scotia that question the official narrative. It doesn't make sense. All the abnormalities and falsified evidence point to something else. 

One X account about the Nova Scotia Mass murders talks about the missing yellow stripe on Gabe Wortman's RCMP uniform. In the surveillance video there is no yellow stripe on Gabe Wortman's pants but on an altered screen shot there is. Why would someone alter that?

Another posts asks who thinks the Democrats would stage a mass shooting and kill innocent people to justify gun control? I do and evidently I'm not the only one but it's not just Democrats. It's fake Republicans as well. 9/11 happened on George Bush's watch. Globalists on the right use false flag attacks to justify taking away civil liberty. 

Gabe Wortman was a paid police informant. We assume that was for a FBI cross border gun smuggling sting. We don't actually think he was paid to execute the mass shooting but the long list of abnormalities means we aren't so sure. 

Paul Polango asks if this was simply a case of domestic violence, why falsify evidence? Yet this wasn't a case of a police agent losing his mind either. It's clearly something far more sinister. Paul Polango points out that Wortman's common law spouse had a lot more disposable income than she reported on her taxes. If she was a police agent, then we can throw out her entire testimony. 

Everyone knows her dramatic claims of spending the night in the woods after her escape was fabricated. Yet if she was a police agent then so were the claims of domestic violence. Wortman was a swinger. They were in an open relationship. He certainly wasn't a jealous, controlling ex. So why lie? 

The fact that Gabe Wortman was a police agent is a big deal. The fact that his neighbor Peter Griffon and his common law spouse Lisa Banfield were police agents is a big deal. The fact that two undercover tactile RCMP officers were caught shooting up a fire hall where civilians were being staged is a big deal. 

They shot through the roll up doors, the weakest point of the building. What if they weren't caught and they hit a civilian inside? Would they also add that to the list of people Gabe Wortman killed like they did for Corey Ellison?

Wortman's ties to the police and to the Hells Angels are a big deal. At this point considering the possibility of the mass murder being an orchestrated event isn't crazy. Refusing to consider that possibility is. We know no one is going to investigate this. 

It's like the Pickton case. It's dead in the water. That doesn't mean we have to believe the BS and be swayed by it. Gun control has an agenda. Reducing violent crime is not part of it. 


The RCMP didn't want to let Lisa Banfield testify at the public Inquiry because they didn't want to encourage conspiracy theories. Yet the fact that Gabe Wortman was a police agent already has. They cited Alex Jones who claimed Sandy Hook never happened. I'm not Alex Jones.

No one is saying the Nova Scotia murders never happened. That's like saying 9/11 never happened. Just because they were orchestrated events doesn't mean they never happened. 

It's shocking to think the Intelligence community would kill innocent people just to push an agenda. Yet when you list the abnormalities it's hard to see any other possibility. Gun control is the only motive. He wasn't a jealous ex. He had no motive to kill those people other than being a police agent. 

It's like the Surrey Pressure cooker fraud case. Without the RCMP, the two marks didn't have the means or motive to commit that crime. CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing. If they hadn't done that the suspects they groomed would not have had the means to commit that crime.

In the Nova Scotia Mass murders, the police agent would not have had the means to commit that crime if the RCMP hadn't given him the illegal guns he used. Gabe Wortman acquired the illegal guns while running a joint FBI op in Maine across the New Brunswick border. The RCMP were a part of it.

Large Condo Fire in Surrey

Update: The fire is pretty much out but the residents can't return home. Very sad. Looks like the adjacent building might have water damage from sprinklers. 

2nd Update: CBC has an aerial shot of the fire damage

Fire crews are on the scene of a large condo fire in Surrey on 104th Avenue between 100th Avenue and 101 Avenue. It's contained but three ladder trucks in 154th street hammered it with water to contain it. A fourth was set up on 101st Avenue in case it spread. Just like that other business fire on 104th the Surrey Fire department were very aggressive and very effective and continuing the fire before it spread. 


So once again to put out  a large fire you need to hammer it with water. You can't fight forest fires with a shovel and a sprinkling can on a helicopter. You need more water from water bombers. 


In the spirit of preparedness, it raises the concern about fighting fires in Surrey after an earthquake. We all know Metro Vancouver is over due for a large earthquake. 

Metro Vancouver is working on the problem but it's quite possible an earthquake would shut off water to Surrey. The North Shore watershed might not be accessible. 

Which means if a fire breaks out after an earthquake, all the wood framed houses are very high risk for ending up like Maui in preparation for a 15 minute city. 

Building towers out of wood like the one across from Superstore on 104th Avenue is a bad idea. Once a fire starts, if it's not quickly contained, will spread like a forest fire. 


The next morning the fire alarm was going off to discourage people from returning to their homes. One vertical block was destroyed but the rest of the complex was intact. 

Balancing the Extremes not flipping from one to the other

I've talked about how the pendulum swings from left to right in politics. As soon as the pendulum swings too far left it loses support and starts to swing the other way until it swings too far right and starts to swing back the other way. 

As I've said before, it's not a choice between Socialism and Fascism. Both are bad. It's about common sense and balancing those two extremes. Finding a plumb line so to speak.

Donlad Trump campaigned on the promise to drain the swamp and tackle corruption in Washington. All the did was remove rivals just like everyone else. Then he went way too far. 

In his first term he campaigned on building a wall to stop illegal immigration. Then Biden did the exact opposite and allowed mass illegal migration of unvetted immigrants without a criminal record check who all wanted free housing and for the government to pay them not to work.   

Paying migrants not to work is insane. That's the problem. Hunting down migrants who are working is also insane. It's a waste of tax dollars. In an illegal commits a violent crime then deport them. Hunting down nonviolent migrants who are working is a waste of tax dollars. You're supposed to be reducing debt not creating more debt.  

Before pot was legalized is was a crime to spoke pot. Putting all the pot smokers in jail was a waste of tax dollars. Just like hunting down migrants who are working is. 

CBC recently did another discourse about gender nonsense. LGBT makes sense. Q plus is extreme. Trump banning men from competing in women's sports is common sense. So is protecting women and children from male stalkers in their bathrooms. That's important. 

SOGI in school is child abuse. Grooming children to change their gender before they'e old enough to vote is child abuse. Q + is infinite. there are no boundaries. Everyone needs healthy boundaries. Just because Donald Trump went too far, that doesn't mean we have to go back to the other extreme. 

Just because Fascism failed, that doesn't mean we have to go back to Communism. It means both ideologies are bad and we need to find a balance between the two where civil liberty is protected by law. We need to protect the Constitution and read the Federalist Papers so we can understand the Constitution in context not water it down with nonsense. 

Duffy lake motorcycle run

This isn't me. This is a group of guys I follow on YouTube that did a motorcycle ride to the Grand Canyon. This ride is to Duffey lake outside of Pemberton. Now that's living the dream.


Central City Fun Park and Go Carts

I went to the outdoors store on the other side of Scott Road Station in Surrey and see the revamped Central City Fun Park right beside the Hive climbing wall. It's full of modern arcade games with a few VR games, as well as two miniature golf courses, a small roller rink and a stealth new Go Cart facility

Metrotown used to have Palladium and the Rain forest Cafe. When those left there was no replacement. Well this is it tucked away in an obscure corner of Surrey. Great for kid's birthday parties. Remember those?

The Hive climbing wall next door is for bouldering. Very cool. 


New York City Mayoral race, Socialism, Fascism and Common Sense

Speaking of extremism, take a look at the Democrat candidate for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The guy is an absolute freak. Socialism beats Fascism. How about neither? Both are insane. It's not a choice between one or the other. It's a choice between common sense and extremism. 

Curtis Sliwa is common sense. Eric Adams won the Democrat primary last time after he challenged the election irregularities in court. Then they made up fake corruption charges and picked a far left extremist to take his place. That is not progress. That is DEVOlution. The New York model set the bar for the rest of the world and left wing extremists flushed it down the toilet. 

Low taxes and low crime means businesses prosper. It means everyone prospers. When you raise taxes businesses leave and you have less tax revenue than you did before you raised taxes. That is common sense. Promoting crime, addiction and high taxes so everyone is poor isn't common sense. It's stupid.  

American missing after ICE Raid, Farm worker killed


ABC is reporting that
Concerned family members are desperate for answers after they say a disabled U.S. veteran and citizen was taken during a federal immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo, California."

"George Retes, 25, works as a security guard at Glass House Farms, where the raid took place Thursday. His sister and wife told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in Los Angeles, that he was trying to leave the area as tensions escalated between federal agents and protesters." The Trump extremism has literally become a cult. They shout did you see where it says marijuana grow up? Yes I did. Did you see where it said marijuana was legalized in California in 2016? 

Remember COVID? Remember how we never thought such insane government overreach was possible in our time? Well welcome to Trump 2.0. It's even worse. A farm worker died.

Blair White on Epstein cover up. "They couldn't even come up with a decent lie." Brett Cooper: Donald Trump ran on this.

Another Innocent bystander shot dead in Hamilton

Update: The male suspect is 17-year-old Mackale Lavoie 

CTV is reporting that "Belinda Sarkodie was on her way home after spending time with her friend in downtown Hamilton when she was shot and killed on Friday afternoon, Hamilton police say. 'Based on the information we have so far, it appears Belinda was an innocent bystander simply going about her day,' Det. Sgt. John Obrovac said during a news conference on Saturday afternoon."

"Obrovac said the suspect, who fled the scene on foot, is described as a white male with a medium build and brown hair. Investigators believe the male victim was the intended target." In April another innocent bystander was shot dead in Hamilton. Liberal gun control laws don't work. They were a distraction. 

Trump threatens to strip Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship

Fox News is reporting that Trump wrote in a post to his social media platform Truth Social " Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity."

Rosie O'Donnell, she was the one kicked off the View for saying 9/11 was an inside job. She talked about it on Joe Rogan

Now Trump says he's considering taking away her citizenship for disagreeing with him. That is mentally deranged and reinforces the dangerous president the creation of ICE gestapo brings. First they hunt down illegal immigrants. Then they hunt down people who dissagree with Trump. That wack job isn't even hiding it. You can't get any more deep state than that.

Vancouver Symphony Orchastra at Deer Lake Park


The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra had another free outdoor convert tonight. This one was at Deer Lake Park beside Burnaby Lake so we checked it out. I wasn't sure if the venue was near the lake so we didn't bring the kayaks but it was. A few kayakers were listening on the water. 

It was pretty packed and neither of us like crowds so we went on the boardwalk behind the venue beside the lake and those were the best seats in the house. Lots of Water Lilies in that lake. Indigenous to BC. As the sun set you could see it's reflection in one of the towers over looking the lake. 
 


They played a few classical pieces, a couple of opera and several movie scores. Evidently the VSO does a lot of movie scores now. It was nice. In one of the quieter pieces a cool breeze swept in from the lake and the rustling leaves added a nice effect to the music. Tomorrow night they have an opera playing in the park. I hate opera. I like classical and I like the music for operas but the singing drives me crazy.

ICE claims strawberry pickers were MS-13 - WTF?
