Snowshoer found dead on Mount Seymour

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Searchers discovered the body of a missing snowshoer in avalanche debris on Vancouver's North Shore on Wednesday, two days after he was swept away. Peter Haigh of North Shore Search and Rescue says searchers made the discovery on Runner Peak, north of Mount Seymour. He says the BC Coroners Service will investigate the cause of death but the man appears to have suffered trauma when the avalanche hit. The mother of the 39-year-old Surrey, B.C., snowshoer has identified him as Remi Michalowski."

My condolences to the family. His companion was swept into some trees by the avalanche and was rescued Monday. I'm having a hard time visualizing the trail to Runner's Peak. They say it's in the saddle between 2nd and 3rd peak but I thought the trail to Mt Elsay was just before 1st peak. It's a summer trail. I've been to 3rd peak lots but I've never been to Runners Peak.

Spraying launches butterfly and bird genocide in Surrey

Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is pushing the butterfly and song bird genocide in Surrey by promoting the areal spraying for Gypsy moths. "Tessa Nendick, who lives at the Dogwood Campgrounds and RV Park that is within the area with her fiance and their two-month-old son, said as a new mom, she is concerned. 'I’m not crazy about certain things being sprayed,' she said. But, You have to ask yourself, Do the moths cause more problems than the pesticide?"

Well let's do the math. What kind of damage do gypsy moths do? They eat some leaves. Oh really? What kind of damage does the BTK spraying do? It kills all the butterflies, moths and caterpillars in that area which effects all the other living organisms that feed off of them: song birds, owls, bats you name it. They spray the pesticide and the songbird feeds it's baby a poisoned caterpillar and the baby song bird dies. Why do we waist our time doing butterfly releases when we then turn around and kill them all? Individual gypsy moth traps work fine.

Gypsy moths are not the problem pine beetles are. The pine beetles effect the forestry industry and increase the chance of forest fires. How do we solve the pine beetle problem? It's pretty easy. When we replant a forest after a clear cut or forest fire we plant cedar and fir trees instead of pine trees. Problem solved. All these toxic pesticides are bad for humans and destroy the ecosystem that humans are connected to.

Another double shooting in Kamloops

CBC is reporting that "Two people have been hospitalized after a reported shooting in the Brocklehurst neighbourhood of Kamloops, B.C. B.C. Emergency Health Services spokesperson Shannon Miller said paramedics received a call about a shooting just before 4 p.m. PT on Friday. According to Miller, paramedics transported one person in serious condition and one person in critical condition to hospital."

Kamloops this Week is reporting that "Police said on the weekend that, given the string of violent incidents in Kamloops in recent weeks — including the shooting deaths of two men in January, a kidnapping and robbery on Feb. 13 and the shooting of a man and woman on Feb. 15 — Ferrier’s reported disappearance had them concerned."

Earlier this month CFJC Today reported that 31 year old Blake Bernhard was arrested a few blocks away from the scene of yet another shooting, and is currently facing charges related to the breach of previous gun-related conditions.

Last month there were Two fatal shootings in Kamloops.

Polar on Netflix

I just saw Polar on Netflix with a Danish actor named Mads Mikkelsen. Impressive. Mads is rock solid. I wonder why I haven't heard of him before. Evidently, he was in Rouge One.

Little Dog on CBC

I realize I'm a bit slow to pick up on things on TV until it hits Netflix but someone sent me a link to this Canadian TV show on CBC set in Newfoundland and I think the accents are pretty cool. Little Dog is a comedy about about a down on his luck boxer making a comeback. It's just finishing it's second season. I'm all for supporting Canadian talent so I am. Cheers.

Surrey's new crime problem is tied to the great big fraud

I stand all amazed. What's done in the dark will be brought into the light. I had an enlightening discussion with the owner of Motorcycle world in Surrey today. This is the guy who was in the paper complaining about the Surrey Strip because it was killing his business.

I asked him how it was going now that the Surrey Strip had been cleaned up. Horrible he said. I wish they were back there. I was shocked. It turns out that crime and open drug use on King George Highway has increased dramatically. Putting the homeless into modular homes was a good thing. Not enforcing the law and arresting the drug dealers on King George was not. That new policy of tolerance has made the problem grow exponentially.

One of the problems is that they want to put more modular homes into the area. Why in God's name would they do that? Do they really want to attract every drug addict in Canada to Whalley? That will not see an improvement in the area. Get this. The property they put the existing modular homes on is owned by Bosa. They pay Bosa $30,000.00 a month to lease the land. Bosa contributes to the political parties and gets a huge tax paid contract just like SNC-Lavalin.

Who owns the property they want to put more modular home son? You guessed it, Bosa. The city owns a vacant lot half way down King George Highway. Instead of putting the new modular homes there, they want to put them on prime real estate so they can burn tax dollars and make Bosa rich. That is morally corrupt.

I saw the RCMP move a drug dealer off of the Surrey Strip after they cleaned it up. Now they let them sell drugs right on King George highway in plain view without stopping them. That is completely insane. This morning the owner said there was a guy smoking crack right outside his door when he opened up for business. I asked him if it was a straight glass pipe or if it had a round ball at the end of it. It had a round ball. That means he was smoking crystal meth.

This brings us back to the Surrey Crime Prevention Meeting of 2008. Nothing has changed it's only gotten worse because they are letting the drug dealers sell crack and crystal meth in plain view right on King George Highway in front of the businesses there. This is not the New York model. This is not what we had planned for Whalley.

Once again we are facing unequal protection of the law. A few construction workers crossed King George on their break to get a pop from the dollar store. The police gave them a ticket for jay walking. The police will ticket someone with a job for jay walking but they won't arrest a drug dealer for selling crack, crystal meth or fentanyl. That is just plain evil.

Instead the cops will press the pedestrian walk button and ticket people for running the light. This is why people hate cops because a lot of them are complete dicks. What we are doing on King George in Whalley is wrong. This cannot continue.

The business owner said one day he saw a guy literally beating the life out of a woman in the middle of King George Hwy. He had her on the ground and kept lifting his fist in the air then punching her with full force. I asked if it was a pimp beating a crack hoe. Probably he said. Someone pulled the guy off of her then he went right back to beating the life out of her again. This is the Janice Shore story all over again in broad daylight for everyone to see.

These are the drug dealers that sell drugs for the Hells Angels. The drug dealers are the pimps. They give the sex trade workers drugs for free then take all their money when they get a trick. That is human trafficking. There is nothing consensual about it. Then they brutalize them for everyone to see as a warning to the others. This cannot continue any more.

We need to spend some money on treatment. They hand out so many of the Naloxone kits that the homeless simply throw them out. They even use them to wipe their ass with when they take a sh*t. The business owner says when they consistently dump unused Naloxone kits outside his door with human feces on it, what am I supposed to do with that? These Naloxone kits are part of the Pharmaceutical fraud burning tax dollars through drug promotion.

Recently the business owner had an alarm call from a broken window. The police showed up and didn't see any broken glass other than a small hole from a bullet. No one had broken into the business this time. The police ended up charging the business owner $130.00 for a false 911 call. Someone shoots a gun at his store and the police charge him $130.00. That is f*cking outrageous. God damn you all.

Then there's the property tax. Everyone's property tax in the area has dropped. His has doubled. Now he definitely has to move because he simply can't pay it. They aren't lowering taxes for small business they are increasing them at an outrageous rate. This kills the economy it doesn't help build it. We want to attract business into the area not chase them away.

The drugs are coming right out of the Dell bowling alley straight from Shakerz. The police know that but will do nothing to stop it. That is criminal culpability. Marcus Aurelius had a dream for Rome. This is not it. This is the parasite economy Catherine Austin Fitts warned us about.

Gordon Campbell accused of sexual assault in England

The Canadian Press is reporting that "A British newspaper says police in London are investigating an allegation of sexual assault made against former British Columbia premier Gordon Campbell. The Daily Telegraph says Scotland Yard is investigating a complaint from a woman who was an employee at the Canadian High Commission when Campbell was high commissioner. The newspaper says in a story published online on Friday that the complainant alleges she was groped in 2013 and filed a complaint with police in January."

Why is that not surprising? Gordon Campbell is a scoundrel. Who do you think was with him when he got his DUI charge in Hawaii? He should not have been given the High Commission position. Gordon Campbell is the one who created the BC Hydro fraud. We need to sue him.

Manitoba Hydro overruns

CBC is reporting that "Former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell will no longer be leading a review of cost overruns of Manitoba Hydro mega projects amid sexual assault allegations." Overruns of Manitoba Hydro mega projects? That guy should be in jail for BC Hydro overruns.

Manitoba Hydro overruns are because of SNC-Lavalin. They under bid and over charge. That's their MO just like Lockheed Martin.

Hells Angel drug ring from Quebec to New Brunswick

CTV is reporting that "The Surete du Quebec says it has arrested 32 people allegedly linked to a drug trafficking ring in eastern Quebec and New Brunswick. The arrests carried out Thursday are in connection with drug distribution networks controlled by the Hells Angels. Among those arrested were Eric Blanchette, who police say is a prospect member of the Hells Angels chapter in New Brunswick, and his brother Yanick. The organization, known as the "Eastern Network," controlled drug distribution in the Lower St-Lawrence, Gaspe and Iles-de-la-Madeleine."

Global is reporting that "Insp. Guy Lapointe told reporters in Quebec City the network allegedly controlled sales and distribution of synthetic drugs and cocaine and paid a tax to the Hells Angels to operate." Where have we heard that before?

La Press reported that the Blanchette twins were arrested in he Dominican back in 2012. "Yannick Blanchette has been convicted of robbery, conspiracy and fraud, while his brother has a history of break and enter, theft and mischief." More petty thieves. Nothing noble there.

SNC-Lavalin bids for Pattullo Bridge replacement

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "SNC-Lavalin, the company involved in allegations with Prime Minister’s Office, is among potential contractors." This is what I mean about the SNC - Lavalin smoke and mirrors. SNC - Lavalin should NOT be on the list. Follow the money.

Laila Yuile is right. The SNC - Lavalin scandal is tied to BOTH parties in BC.

Charges stayed due to excessive delays. The corruption never ends.

SNC-Lavalin under bids and over charges government contracts just like Lockheed Martin.

If you want the project to finish within budget, don't use SNC-Lavalin.

The BC Hydro Fraud: CBC Nails it

CBC is reporting that "A report released by B.C.'s provincial government says the previous government pressured BC Hydro into signing long-term contracts with independent power producers (IPPs) that will cost customers over $16 billion over 20 years. The report says the former B.C. Liberal government "manufactured an urgent need for power while disallowing BC Hydro to produce it." It says the public utility was then forced to buy power from private producers at inflated prices, at the direction of the government." Global is covering the story as well.

Exactly. This is what Norm Farrell and I have been saying for years.
