Sky Chair on Cypress

I snowshoed up Skychair on Cypress today. Ski season has finally come to a close so snowshoers and back country skiers have free range of the mountain. This is a great time of the year in Vancouver. Cherry blossoms in the city and melting snow on the mountains. There were two eagles soaring in the updrafts at the top of the ridge.



From here you can clearly see the mountain range on Vancouver Island. Next week is the Amateur boxing Nationals in Victoria on Super channel. I'll see if I can find anything about it.



It's nice to head up to the mountains to get the heart pumping and breath the fresh air. This is the land we protect. We don't own it we are a part of it. The air we breath the water we drink. We are all connected to it. This is what people come to see. People don't come and visit the tar sands for a reason so stop thinking you are better than everyone else. Your money will perish with you.

Zombie drug K2 shows up in Kamloops

Kamloops this week is reporting that "A synthetic drug found in fentanyl in Kamloops is the same drug that led to a mass overdose event in Brooklyn in 2015 in which those affected were described as acting like zombies.

Interior Health has issued a warning after a drug-checking machine — Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer — revealed that beige pebbles found in Kamloops contained caffeine, heroin, fentanyl and a synthetic cannabinoid called AMB-FUBINACA."

"Interior Health said the AMB-FUBINACA substance causes “speedy, trippy-like symptoms” with hallucinations. In high doses, users of the synthetic cannabinoid can appear to be having what looks like an opioid overdose, but will not respond to Naloxone, a medication that temporarily reverses the effects of an opioid overdose."

"According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the AMB-FUBICANA tested in Brooklyn in the summer of 2015 was 85 times as potent as the main agent in plant-grown marijuana — THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Synthetic drugs like AMB-FUBICANA and K2 are made in labs and a world apart from natural cannabis."

A synthetic cannabinoid that turns people into zombies. Wonderful. Who runs the drug trade in Kamloops anyways? Why that would be the Red and White. That is why the compromised BC Gang Task Farce is WRONG for helping the Hells Angels maintain a monopoly on the market.

Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw

The Rolling Stone is reporting that "The Fast & Furious franchise just added one more action-packed movie to its lineup. Universal released the trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw on Thursday, starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the federal agent/mercenary duo. After the events of the previous film, The Fate of the Furious, that put Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw at odds with each other, the two must now join forces to stop Brixton Lore, an ex-MI6 agent and international terrorist played by Idris Elba."

Brixton lore? Yo give it up for Brixton. When I worked in London before I had kids I lived in Brixton right behind the Front Line. I did some boxing with the Caribbean brothers at the Brixton rec centre. That place is awesome. Idris Elba is rock solid. He portrays himself as the black superman in the movie. The whole thing looks epic. It's due to be released in August.



The Fast and Furious series was stellar. The last one sucked but that was no fault of the actors, it was just a bad script. The action was great. Nobody wanted to see Vin Diesel turn on his crew and act like a dick. Sure he was being blackmailed but it just wasn't right. Then there were rumors of him beefing with Dwayne Johnson. Everybody likes Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is very hard working. Seemingly there will be a Fast 9 and Dwayne Johnson might not be in it. Too bad.

Vin Diesel's a good guy. He was chilling with Nicky Jam down in Colombia. He announced a female led version of Fast 9. Let's hope it empowers women and doesn't turn out to be an harem of Vin Diesel groupies. Jason Statham is also rock solid. He has been a stalwart member of the Expendables with Stalone. Hobbs & Shaw looks great.

Vancouver supports Montreal's Mayor

There has always been a kinship between Vancouver and Quebec, especially Montreal. It goes back to the Postal Strike of 1965. CBC is reporting that "Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has been the target of an escalating series of violent threats, apparently sparked by her staunch opposition to the provincial government's secularism bill." I support Valérie Plante, Quebec's Joan of Arc.

"Bill 21, which, if passed, will prohibit public school teachers, police officers and judges, among other civil servants, from wearing religious symbols." OK let's do the math. It's not called the religious freedom bill it's called the secularism bill. Toronto opposes the bill but Communist China supports it. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why.

Historically the French Revolution was a model for a free republic. The motto of the revolution was Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The secularism bill bans people from wearing religious symbols - teachers. There are a lot of Catholic schools in Quebec. At those schools priest and nuns are teachers. This bill would ban priests from wearing collars and nuns from wearing their head pieces at public schools. That is why communist China endorses it - it opposes a free republic.

Here in Surrey, many Punjabi police officers wear turbans. No one cares. That is their right. Banning religious clothing is a step back into the dark ages which created the need for the French Revolution. Vancouver and Toronto certainly don't dictate what Quebec does. I'm just saying that bill 21 isn't very French. It's communist. That's why China endorses it.

Quebec doesn't want Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen

CBC is reporting that "Quebec doesn't want another pipeline, François Legault tells Jason Kenney." Quebec is fine with Natural Gas but not Tar Sands bitumen. So lets do a count, Chicago doesn't want Alberta Tars Sands Bitumen, neither does Detroit, BC or Quebec. Mike Smyth is still a lying POS. It's not John Horgan against the world it's Jason Kenny against the world. Hitler tried it once but it didn't work out for him. Tar sands bitumen is not ethical.

Here's a present for Jason Kenney from Surrey with Love:



Yo Brokeback Mountain, how many bullets you got?

Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

160 kilograms of cannabis seized in Ontario

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Police say they found more than 160 kilograms of cannabis after a routine traffic stop in Markham, Ont. York Regional Police say an officer stopped a white van early on Tuesday morning. They say that while the officer was speaking with the driver and passenger, they noticed multiple duffel bags throughout the van. Police say that the bags contained 163 kilos of marijuana. They say two Quebec men have been charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.'

Oh but wait a minute, cannabis is legal now. What gives them the right to seize it? "Police Chief Eric Jolliffe says the illegally produced cannabis likely would have gone to the black market, which fuels organized crime." There is no such thing as illegally produced cannabis. There's just cannabis production without a license. This is not what taxpayers want the police to focus on and taxpayers pay the police's salary.

Aside from the fact that the search was a violation of their Charter Right because there was no just cause for the search, it is also a conflict of interest. Andy Richard's pot company has a retired cop from Ontario in it selling cop pot there. The Hells Angels have just as much a right to sell pot now as the police do.

Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

Not surprisingly, Jason Kenney's new Conservative party just won the election in Alberta. Four days ago I would have celebrated that victory with him. Now our relationship is dead in the water. Nevertheless, the boldness of the lies coming out of Alberta need to be addressed so we can both go our separate ways and get on with our separate lives.

Last election Alberta made history by electing a NDP government. What happened? There was an economic downturn and the ruling Conservatives planned strict austerity measures which the voters rejected. So what caused the economic downturn in the oil rich province?

Was it BC's fault? Not at all. BC had approved an oil pipeline from Alberta years ago and was shipping that oil to China out of the Port of Vancouver as per normal. Nothing had changed. So what did change? Wait 'till I tell ye. Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Alberta Tar Sands bitumen. That was the only change. That had absolutely nothing to do with John Horgan or BC.



The reason why Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen was because of the mountains of petroleum coke byproduct that was left behind from refining it. They finally got rid of the toxic mountains by shipping it off to India. Only India won't take it any more because it is more toxic to burn than regular coal. That was the change that casued the econimic downturn in Alberta. It had absolutely nothing to do with BC or John Horgan so stop lying and say it did.



After Raging Rachel was elected there was another downturn. The price of oil dropped. That was not John Hogans fault nor was it BC's fault. BC was getting completely f*cked over because while the price of oil dropped the price of gas in Metro Vancouver skyrocketed. BC has a right to complain about that fraud. This is the Irish potato famine all over again.

There were windmills set up in Ireland during the potato famine. Grain was sent to England while the rest of the country starved. That's what's happening right now in BC. We are shipping oil out of the port of Vancouver to China while we are getting completely screwed over at the pumps. BC has a right to complain about that fact especially since Justin Trudeau bought the pipeline with tax dollars. BC is now a shareholder in the pipeline.

The drop in the price of oil and the fact that Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Tar Sands Bitumen is not our fault. Raging Rachel stepped up to the plate and tried to enforce her dinosaur trade union tactics on us. BC was actually considering twinning the pipeline for Tar Sands bitumen through our already busy port.

John Horgan simply asked what happens if tanker traffic becomes too much for our port to handle? How do we restrict the flow of bitumen through our port? Raging Rachel insisted that we have absolutely no say whatsoever on the amount of bitumen shipped through BC if tanker traffic becomes too congested. That is not fair. We need to have a say in the flow of bitumen. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane.

John Horgan then asked what happens if there is an oil spill? Raging Rachel said that's not Alberta's problem. If there is a spill you pay for clean up. We don't pay a dime. That is unrealistic. If there is a spill we share clean up costs. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane. Raging Rachel's greed killed the deal.

Now after Jason Kenney showed his true colours the deal is dead in the water. His threat to turn off the tap at will and thereby create complete chaos for no reason whatsoever clearly shows the need for BC to be protected from that future threat in any conceivable trade agreement. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane.

Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta by spending $4.5 billion tax dollars to purchase the pipeline after Kinder Morgan decided to pull out. Enough is never enough for those spoiled brats. They are still trashing him to the grave and beyond. Justin Trudeau needs to see that and earn back BC's trust by using some of the oil from OUR pipeline for domestic consumption.



If Alberta refined the Tar Sands Bitumen at source they could use the existing pipeline to Vancouver and export more oil to China. We are not stopping them from doing that. That would require less ships because it would be already refined. If Alberta refined the Tar Sands Bitumen at source they could use the existing pipeline to Chicago and Detroit. There is no need to build yet another pipeline for unrefined bitumen.

Alberta has destroyed their business relationship with Chicago, Detroit and now Vancouver. Now their only hope is the Keystone pipeline to Texas. Don't burn that bridge too. You launched a trade war with BC and a trade war with Quebec. Nobody wants to do business with you any more. That's your fault. Own it. Stop blaming everyone else for your problems. Nobody likes a liar or a bully. Alberta has become both.

If you're hungry and out of work in Alberta you can always move to Kitimat. They're hiring. Green Justice supports LGN. Natural Gas is clean burning, thermal coal and petroleum coke is not. Protecting the environment is Right Wing just like balancing the budget and avoiding unnecessary debt. Protecting the environment is protecting the economy for our children.

Jason Kenney is just another brick in the wall. This isn't saber rattling or a pissing contest. Our relationship with Alberta is over. I don't want anything to do with you any more. From now on, stay on your side of the wall and don't read my blog. I don't want your business.

Quebec doesn't want Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen either.

Here's a present for Jason Kenney from Surrey with Love:



Yo Brokeback Mountain, how many bullets you got?

Fatal shooting in Vancouver

CBC is reporting that "Vancouver Police are investigating after a man was shot dead around West 4th Avenue and Burrard Street at around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday night. The victim died at the scene. Police said in a written statement the shooting appears to be targeted."

Four dead after shooting in Penticton

The Canadian Press is reporting that "The RCMP say four people were found dead Monday in three locations after targeted shootings within a five-kilometre radius in Penticton, B.C. Supt. Ted De Jager said a man turned himself in at the city's police headquarters and officers were searching his car. "We're still trying to find the motive for this whole incident, so that's part of the ongoing investigation," he told a news conference.

The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that "South Okanagan-Similkameen Supt. Ted De Jager said emergency services were called at 10:30 a.m. with reports of a shooting outside a home in the downtown area. As police raced to the scene, they received another call, this time from callers in the south part of the city of 34,000, saying more shots had been fired.

When police went to that residential scene, on the 2400-block of Cornwall Drive, they found three people dead in two neighbouring locations. All shootings were within a five-kilometre radius. De Jager said that at 11:30 a.m. a 60-year-old man turned himself in at the city’s RCMP detachment and remained in custody, with homicide charges pending. The four victims — two men and two women — and the person who turned themselves in were all known to each other.

CBC is reporting that "A retired city worker is facing multiple murder charges after a shooting spree left four people dead in the city of Penticton, B.C., on Monday. John Brittain, 68, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder."

Fatal shooting at Salmon Arm church

Global is reporting that "Police confirm one man is in custody after a “possible shooting” Sunday morning at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ near the Trans-Canada Highway in the Shuswap. Cpl. Chris Manseau says the area is contained and there is no indication of an active or ongoing threat as officers investigate a “serious incident.” BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) says two patients were involved in the incident at the church. One person was transported to hospital via air ambulance. The condition of both patients is unknown."

CBC is reporting that "One man is dead after a shooting at a small church in Salmon Arm, B.C., on Sunday, and police have a suspect in custody. Family members have confirmed that the victim is Gordon Parmenter, an elder at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ. B.C. Emergency Health Services confirmed one person was airlifted to hospital after receiving a call just after 10:30 a.m. about the incident, and a second person was also injured."

CBC is reporting that "A suspect has been charged in relation to a shooting that left one dead and another injured at a small, close-knit church in Salmon Arm, B.C. Matrix Savage Gathergood, 25, has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault and disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence in connection with the Sunday morning shooting. He is being held in custody and is set to appear in court on Tuesday."

Global is reporting that "The senior who lost his life in a shooting at the Church of Christ in Salmon Arm B.C., was also the recent victim of a suspicious fire that destroyed his home. On Sunday, 78-year-old Gordon Parmenter was gunned down during Sunday morning service in the small Shuswap community in the B.C. interior."

Jason Kenney can go f*ck himself

Global is reporting that " With just three days to go before Alberta goes to the polls, United Conservative Leader (UCP) Jason Kenney is ramping up his threats towards B.C. At a campaign rally in Edmonton Friday night, Kenney renewed his pledge to "turn off the taps" of gasoline "within an hour" of being sworn in as premier."

Alberta greed is off the hook. We have a port they have oil. Cut off the tap and no more oil goes out of our port anywhere. Go f*ck yourself you selfish POS. You can't keep f*cking people over forever. Eventually they are going to fight back. You don't care about the rest of Canada or the rest of the planet for that matter. You only care about yourselves. You live a very selfish life.

Jason Kenney is Satan. There is no religion in him.

Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley have persuaded me to become a Trump supporter in a nonsense. Canada needs a wall - between BC and Alberta. We'll take Banff and Lake Louise and you can have the rest of Alberta all to yourselves. You can airlift your oil to China.



Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

Double homicide in Winnipeg

CBC is reporting that "Victims of a double homicide in downtown Winnipeg earlier this week were members of the same street gang, and shot and killed each other, police say. Anthony Brian Cromastey, 30, and Rodney Albert Kirton, 25, died after opening fire on each other inside Johnny G's, a popular late-night restaurant and pub on Main Street, around 1:30 a.m. CT Wednesday."

"The investigation has determined the deceased males died as a result of simultaneous gunshots to each other," said a Winnipeg police spokesperson, Const. Rob Carver, on Friday. Carver said both handguns have been recovered. Investigators used surveillance video and witness accounts to conclude guns were fired at the same time, said Carver. "So the two individuals were basically in a gunfight in a public restaurant and shot each other fatally on the spot," he said.

This incident happened last February but I just fund out about it. Anthony Cromastey had a previous crack cocaine trafficking charge associated with the Mad Cows who appear to be in a turf war with the Manitoba Warriors. The MW are HA rivals so do the math. Shane Edward Kirton was a full patch Winnipeg Hells Angel. I'm not sure if he is related to Rodney Albert Kirton. Lots of gang violence in Winnipeg still.

Western Wind skipper busted again

CBC is reporting that John Phillip Stirling was caught sailing a vessel off the coast of Oregon earlier this week with 200 gallons (757 litres) of liquid meth. As we know this is the skipper of the Western Wind that was caught with 2 1/2 tons of cocaine slotted for the BC Hells Angels in 2002.

In 2011 he was caught with 200 kilos of cocaine off the coast of Florida.

Let's see if the RCMP get him off again this time.

One person killed and three injured in shooting at Nipsey Hussle funeral procession

NME is reporting that "One person has been killed and three people have been injured after a shooting which took place during yesterday’s funeral procession for the late rapper Nipsey Hussle. Hussle was memorialised at a service at The Staples Center yesterday morning (April 11) in LA, with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Barack Obama and Kendrick Lamar all paying tribute to Nipsey. The rapper, who was born Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was shot and killed on March 31 at the age of 33."

"Following the service, Nipsey’s casket was driven along a 25.5-mile route through South Central Los Angeles so fans and members of the community, who turned out in their thousands, could pay their respects. During the procession, four people were shot at the intersection of 103 St. and Main St. Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore confirmed that of the four victims – who were described as three men and one woman between the ages of 30 and 50 – one had tragically died following the shooting. A suspect in a grey Hyundai vehicle is being sought."

The LA Sentinel reported that "On April 5, gangs from Watts, Compton, Inglewood and the Los Angeles area called for “peace in the streets” to honor the life and legacy of Hussle. Rival gangs marched in solidarity from a local Crenshaw grocery store to the rapper’s Marathon clothing store located in the Crenshaw district where he was shot to death allegedly by 29-year-old, Eric Holder." Madness as in completely insane.

Julian Assange Arrested

CNN is reporting that "British police entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Thursday, forcibly removing the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on a US extradition warrant and bringing his seven-year stint there to a dramatic close." Bastards. this arrest represented everything that is wrong with America AND England. It ties in with Tony Blair.

Although what Julian Assange did was different than what Edward Snowden did, they are both whistle blowers. Edward Snowden reported illegal activity by the NSA. The fact that they want to arrest him is absurd.

Julian Assange reported illegal activity of the US military. He posted leaked video footage of US troops killing a journalist and civilians in Iraq. Arresting Julian for doing that is equally absurd and shows how far away from the principles of the US Constitution modern day America has fallen.

What ever happened to the American Revolution? You remember, the struggle against tyranny. The promise of a free republic protecting free speech. The Boston Tea Party? Paul Revere? Where are those heroes now? Leaking military secrets is dodgy but what if we were born in Germany instead of America? What if we leaked video footage of our troops gassing Jews? If we did that we would be a hero not a traitor. Where are the oath keepers? The ones who swore an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic? Where are they now? The only oath keepers I see are Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Police target Hells Angels drug trafficking in Quebec

Global is reporting that "Police forces in Quebec arrested 33 people Wednesday in relation to an alleged drug network extending from Montreal to Outaouais, Centre-du-Québec, the Montérégie and more. A total of 37 searches were carried out, and police say nearly two kilograms of cocaine and 27,100 methamphetamine pills were seized as part of Operation Orca."

"Officers say they also seized 23 vehicles, $120,000, four firearms, six jackets in the colours of the Hells Angels and an escutcheon. Two of those arrested were Claude Gauthier and Pascal Facchino, identified by authorities as part of the Angels’ Trois-Rivières chapter, alleged to be leaders in the sale of narcotics in the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu region."

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "Called Escouade nationale de répression contre le crime organisé or ENRCO, the task force has most recently been targeting the leaders of criminal organizations including the Hells Angels. It is composed of officers from the Sûreté du Québec as well the Montréal, Quebec City, Laval and Lévis police forces. Wednesday’s arrests targeted drug networks allegedly overseen by the Hells Angels. The Sûreté du Québec is expected to provide more information on the raids later on Wednesday."

This is the difference between BC and Quebec. Quebec has a task force to investigate organized crime, BC doesn't. Quebec targets drug trafficking, BC doesn't. That is the root of the problem.

Fatal shooting in Surrey

The Star is reporting that "RCMP are investigating after a man was shot to death in Surrey, B.C, overnight. Mounties say multiple calls came in just before midnight reporting gunshots in the area of 72nd Ave. and King George Boulevard. They say a lone male was found at the scene, where he died of his injuries.

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Police have identified 30-year-old Amrendra Vijay Kumar as the Surrey man found dead after a late-night shooting in Newton."

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "After Kumar was shot, a vehicle was spotted speeding away from the area. About 40 minutes later, Surrey Mounties were called to the area of 164th Street and 92nd Avenue where a car had caught on fire. 'This vehicle is believed to be related to the earlier shooting and will be seized for further examination,' read a police statement."

Update: More shots fired in Surrey Wednesday night.

Jamie Bacon ordered the murder of Dennis Karbovanec

Kim Bolan is reporting that "A former drug trafficking associate of Jamie Bacon testified Monday that he thought Bacon would forgive a $20,000 debt “if I killed someone for him.” The man, who can only be identified as CD due to a publication ban, admitted that he attempted to murder Bacon’s former pal Dennis Karbovanec on Dec. 31, 2008. “I tried to kill him,” CD told jurors and B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge after identifying Karbovanec in a photo. “I tried to shoot him.” When prosecutor Joe Bellows asked why, CD said: “Because I owed Jamie Bacon a debt of money and I was told that if I killed Dennis the debt would be erased.”

Now that is believable. It is common for HA trash to impose a manufactured debt on someone then tell them that debt would be forgiven if they did a hit for them. That is why Joey Verma killed Brittney Irving. The Kelowna chapter placed a manufactured debt on Joey and told him the debt would be forgiven if he killed Brittney. Blaze was there to make sure the job got done. That's why Joey later said he *had* to do it. The HAs told Jamie Bacon to use the same ploy on CD.

Interesting to note that the associate Jamie Bacon assigned the murder of DK to had a past criminal history with the Haney Hells Angels. He was a Bacon brother associate working with the Haney Hells Angels. This confirms my previous statements that Spike's niece's presence at Larry Amero and Jonathon Bacon's coming out party in Kelowna was not a coincidence nor was she doing something against the will of her uncle. Her presence there was to publicly show that the Haney Hells Angels were backing the Bacon brothers not just Larry Amero. It was a complete tragedy that she was shot and paralyzed. That's something Spike has to live with.

I don't have beef with the Haney chapter anymore. What's done is done. That's past history now. I don't have a problem with Jesse. Tara is obviously trying to make a go of it and I support that completely. Jesse wasn't involved with Piggy's Palace. That was someone else. The Hardside chapter however, is something I don't even recognize. The Brothers Keepers have more credibility than the Softside ever will. They should answer to Haney not the Softside.

Bret Hart attacker meets Natural Justice

I'm missed it but I'm sure you've all hear that while Bret Hart was giving a speech as he was inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame, a worthless POS blindsided him and tackled him to the ground. Without hesitation the other wrestlers jumped in and beat the sh*t out of the punk.

Now that's natural justice.

Give it up for Idris Elba

I realize I'm a bit slow to pick up on celebrity news but I just want to say Idris Elba is rock solid. He's in the Netflix series Turn Up Charlie but he's also in a lot more than that. They even want him to be the next James Bond. Although he doesn't want the role I think he would be awesome. Recently he tweeted a shout out to the rapper Nipsey Hussle who was just shot dead in LA.

He's also supporting the #dontstabyourfuture campaign. In England they don't have as many shootings as we do here but they do have a lot of stabbings. Idris is talented and genuine.
