Early morning shooting in Courtenay

CTV is reporting that "Police are on scene at a Courtenay apartment complex, where gunfire rang out early Thursday morning, and a man is believed to have been shot in the upper, inner thigh of his left leg. Kylee Cordocedo lives across from the Park Place Apartment on Fitzgerald Avenue. She tells CTV News her brother heard a gunshot at 6:30 a.m. He alerted her to the noise and she ran out of her home, and discovered a man on the ground outside the apartment complex, bleeding profusely." Neighbors are not surprised it happened.

Kamloops shooters charged

Tim Petruk is reporting that "Two alleged Kamloops gangsters were charged Wednesday with murder and attempted murder in connection with a deadly shooting last week in Brocklehurst - the latest in a string of violent incidents linked to a power vacuum at the top of the city’s drug trade. Gordie Wayne Braaten and Hugh Alexander McIntosh are each facing charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder after a shooting last Friday that killed 39-year-old Jason Glover and injured 50-year-old Kelly Callfas."

"As of noon Wednesday, Braaten and McIntosh remain at large."

Drug war rocks Kamloops because the Gang Task Force is useless.

Double stabbing outside Delta elementary school

CBC is reporting that "A woman and an off-duty police officer have been taken to hospital in "serious to critical" condition after they were stabbed in front of an elementary school in Delta, B.C. Wednesday afternoon. In a statement, Delta police said an altercation broke out between a man and a woman in front of Immaculate Conception Elementary School at about 3:05 p.m.

Police say an off-duty officer intervened and was stabbed in the scuffle, along with the woman. B.C. Emergency Health Services says two patients were taken to hospital in "serious to critical condition. Police have a suspect in custody but say the scene remains active. No children are believed to have been harmed, police said."

Outside an elementary school. You are a f*cking idiot.

Update: CBC is reporting that "49-year-old Manoj George of Delta, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of assault with a weapon."

Michael Smyth is still peddling the ICBC Fraud

Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is reporting that "Attorney-General David Eby plans to make more than $1 billion of ICBC losses disappear this year." AYFKM? ICBC has been breaking even. The BC Liberals extracted a $1.3 billion dividend from ICBC to balance Christy Clark's fake fudgeit budget. If there was no dividend, there would be no deficit.

Everyone knows that. The fact that Michael Smyth and Harold Munro are still peddling the fraud goes way beyond a credibility meltdown. It crosses over into the realm of a criminal act. Back in the day, if a newspaper printed something false they would do their due diligence and print a retraction. Not now. Now when the cheap tabloid posts something false they reprint it on the front page hoping that if they repeat the same lie enough times someone out there will actually believe it. I sure as hell don't. This credibility meltdown is heartbreaking.

WTF are you doing? Prostituting your principles for pennies? Have you no self respect? Journalism used to be a noble career. This isn't journalism. This is defamation with malicious intent. Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is worthless.

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.
