CTV is reporting that "A man is dead after a shooting in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood Wednesday afternoon. Officers from the RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit were called to the scene on 84 Avenue near 160 Street around 3:45 p.m., the Surrey Police Service said in a news release. The site is across the street from Fleetwood Community Centre."
Yahoo News is reporting that "Residents of Squamish, B.C., say they’re on edge as a wildfire burns on a forested ridge above the community. Those in the community have been watching helicopter water bombers make repeated trips over the fire as gusty winds carry the smell of smoke back into the district."
Repeat trips. Look at that tiny bucket. That's like trying to put out a house fire with a watering can for plants. We've seen a lot of criminally negligent forest fire fighting over the years. LA, Maui, Chile even here in Canada. Back burns in windy conditions that make the fire much worse. Oh this is all part of the science. No it's not. It's all part of an agenda to climatize us for insanity.
In 2023 a 40 year first fire fighting veteran said BC Wildfire Service has lost its way. Indeed they have. We need more air support. Water bombers not those tiny little buckets. The experts say helicopters are more accurate. Those aren't experts. The more water the more effective it is. It's that simple.
This isn't a climate change debate. This is a forest fire management debate. In order for us to adjust to climate change we need to be more effective at forest fire management. Fighting a forest fire with a shovel and a bucket is not effective. We need more air support. We need better air support.
Float planes are more effective than helicopters and are more cost effective as well. CTV is reporting that "Canada can fight fires faster and cheaper with the nimble Fire Boss aircraft."
This isn't new. This is what we used to do for decades in BC. Back in the day, when someone got their pilots licence, they needed hours of experience to get their commercial licence. Many would fight fires on small float planes in BC to get those hours. Float planes can also be used throughout the year for tourist charters. We need to embrace the Costco business model. Costco is always innovating. If they try something that doesn't work they go back to the most efficient way of doing it.
CTV is reporting that "Nearly 500 kilograms of cocaine was seized and nine people are in custody following a year-long probe into a group of alleged drug traffickers who police say used commercial trucks to smuggle cocaine across the U.S. border into Canada." Again.
"The investigation, dubbed Project Pelican, led to the largest drug seizure in the police service’s history, Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah told reporters at a news conference."
The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that "Ontario Provincial Police announced Tuesday the seizure of more than 27 kilograms and thousands of tablets of 37 different illegal drugs and prescription medication destined to be shipped across Canada through courier services and Canada Post."
"Officers seized weapons, ammunition, $95,000 in currency, a stolen Ferrari valued at $400,000 and an estimated value of $2.5 million in illegal drugs, including fentanyl, ketamine and MDMA, also known as Ecstasy."
"On March 27, police conducted another search and recovered 11 more stolen vehicles with an estimated combined worth of $730,000. It was unclear exactly where these vehicles were recovered. Four individuals were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation."
Global is reporting that "OPP say officers seized more 43 kg of fentanyl, along with large quantities of other drugs like meth and cocaine, as a result of two recent large-scale investigations."
"Given all the rhetoric flowing from south of the border, Carrique made certain to note that the fentanyl was for distribution in Canada. 'At this time, there is no indication that the fentanyl seized through these investigations was destined for exportation to the United States or any other country,' he offered."

In the 1970s he worked for The Hamilton Spectator before moving to The Globe and Mail in 1977 and remaining there until 1990 when he retired as an editor. He's written several books.
In 1988 he wrote a book about the RCMP called the Last Guardians. Then in 2008 he wrote another book about the RCMP called Dispersing the Fog. In 2022 he wrote a book about the Nova Scotia Mass murders called 22 Murders.
Today he releases a second book about that same event called Anatomy of a Cover up. In this podcast Paul makes two bombshell revelations that sparks a journey to uncover the cover up around the Nova Scotia Mass murders.
I traded Saturday for Monday with a coworker and got a morning pass for Alouette Lake at Golden Ears today. We took the kayaks out for a test drive. First time this season. Lots of padleboards out there now. Another lake created from a Dam. Clean energy that makes sense.
So once again we see crazy extremism south of the 49. Mass illegal immigration triggering ruthless gestapo ice agent raids kicking in doors, denying legal rights. People protest and Trump sends in the National guard. That's a whole lot of extremism I don't want anything to do with.
The simple solution is, if they're working, leave them alone. If they commit a crime and they are illegal, deport them. It really is that simple. I told you, all this immigrant hate is going to prevent you from balancing the budget and dealing with the WEF.
Like it or not, more legal immigrants arrive every year. If your party is built with immigrant hate, it will wither and die. It's the monkey trap. Your greed will kill you because it will prevent you from dealing with the things that really do matter.
Creating this ICE Army is very dangerous and unwise. First they kick in your door looking for illegal immigrants. Then they kick in your door looking for banned Firearms. First them come for the immigrants, then they come for you.
Just like the ruthless MS-13 prison in El Salvador. First it's for illegal immigrants, then it's for American citizens the administration in power don't like. Just like the CIA black prison sites. None of this is a good idea. Who's going to pardon Edward Snowden? Actions speak louder than words.
This is like creating a Nazi Gestapo to arrest all the pot smokers before pot was legalized. It would be stupid and a waste of tax dollars when you are supposed to be cutting government waste. It would also create an insanely dangerous president for ordinary citizens. You don't want to give the Police or any government policing agency that much power. It is unwise.
This is why Mark Carney flipped the polls and was elected. Canadians don't want that crazy nonsense here. I don't and I'm not the only one. If you can't let go of this blind extremism you're never form government in Canada. just sp you know.
Right before, during and after Donald Trump met Kim in the Demilitarized zone, Moon Jae-in, the president of South Korea at the time also met with Kim. Moon also visited Heaven's lake with Kim on the northern border with China.
Moon was welcomed with open arms and was allowed to speak to a large gathering of North Koreans. That landmark speech was worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. Yet I didn't even hear about it until several years after the fact.
In that landmark speech, Moon takes about reunification. He states we have lived together for 5,000 years and have been separated to 70 years. I propose that we end this 70 year separation and take a big step towards peace.
He talked about self determination. He said the primary foundation of this new peace agreement is based on the fact that North Korea and South Korea are guaranteed self determination. That is crucial. South Korea doesn't want to become Communist but they recognize North Korea's right to stay Communist. Guaranteeing self determination, he proposes that they end the separation and allow families divided by the war to be allowed to visit each other once again.
That is big news. The CIA's puppet coup trying to prevent that failed and the new president of South Korea wants to resume these landmark meetings with Kim. This is the way forward.
Niss Cee social has an update on the P Diddy trial. I'm not covering it, she is but I will comment on an observation she made. Niss Cee admitted that the defense did a good job destroying the credibility of one of the witnesses who goes by the pseudonym Mia. At 3:04 of the video Niss Cee said during her testimony Mia was quiet, stuttering and stumbling and came across as very fragile. The Defense said the way she was behaving was very fake. They played a video to the jury which showed how Mia normally communicates.
As the video is still on YouTube and hasn't been sealed, Niss Cee posted one of the clips in her video. It was uploaded 11 years ago. In that video she talks about Puff Daddy as the living legend and comes across as a very loud and aggressive valley girl. She speaks very highly of him on his 44th birthday. The defense argued this is how Mia normally communicates which was in contrast to how she was presenting herself in court.
Last week Mia testified that Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted her on his 40th birthday. Despite that claim for many years she was quite excited to celebrate his birthday. The defense shared several text messages she had sent to Diddy.
One of which claimed she had a dream she was trapped in an elevation with R Kelly and P Diddy came to save her. That's kind of weird. The defense tried to paint the picture that she wasn't afraid of Diddy and she saw him as a protector.
All of the text messages the defense presented in court she had sent Diddy were sent after she stopped working for him after he had allegedly sexually assaulted her many times.
The defense also brought up the fact that Diddy had threatened to tell Cassie everything that had happened between him and Mia insinuating it was a consensual relationship.
We remember that there was a disturbing surveillance video of Diddy' beating his GF Cassie in a hotel lobby. Miss Cee described how Diddy tried to have it erased.
That does establish a disturbing pattern of violence toward women. The term pimp slapping comes to mind. Was Diddy involved in forced prostitution? Perhaps. As someone recently commented on the blog post about Snoop Dogg opening for the BC Lions in Vancouver, Snoop Dogg often sings about being a Pimp and somehow everyone sees that as OK when it's not.
CBC is reporting that "Ten men are facing 31 charges following a human trafficking investigation intended to combat the purchasing of sexual services from underage Indigenous girls on Tsuut'ina Nation. In May, multiple individuals arranged meetings for sexual services with minors, according to police. All those arrested were non-members of the Tsuut'ina Nation."
This is defiantly a good start because doing something is better than doing nothing and in BC we are doing nothing. Yet it's kind of backwards. It was a sting.
They had people pretending to be underage aboriginal girls offering sex to outside clients kind of like Creep Catchers. This is good but throwing all the potential pedophiles in jail doesn't stop the pimps and the current exploitation that does exist. A more effective use of our time would be targeting the pimps.
