Falkland is on the map!

I have voted in every municipal, Provincial, and Federal Election since I became eligible.  I missed a Provincial one in Alberta as I hadn't been there long enough to qualify as a resident.  I agree, get involved in some capacity.  You can make a difference.

I was involved with the upper Glenrosa committee years ago to get water up there when Finlater was the mayor and he told us that's why he didn't move up there because of no water so deal with it.  Yes he told us to deal with it .He also put our property's as future development and our taxes went from $2000 to $8000 and still no water. He was a prick.

I hope the drug dealer gets some serious time along with his co-horts

I think the closeness of the recent vote in some BC ridings is a clear indication of how important our vote can be.

It won't be a clear indication for any of the politicians involved as to how the people are feeling. It will be more "business as usual".

Good luck B.C.

Correct. Businesses and investors are packing up  and leaving as we speak. Illegal drug dens are the only growing market.

I wasn't referring to the numbers in the legislature.  I was speaking about how close the vote was in some of the ridings, like Kelowna Center where 38 votes separate the top two candidates.  That number is subject to a recount that could go either way.  There are several other similar results.

As for business packing up and leaving....why did BC have the second best GDP increase of all provinces in 2023?

  I see it tied for 3rd but hey, I’m hoping the slight majority doesn’t make them gravitate towards the 2 Green mla’s,  and follow their platform,  it won’t end well.

[Galactica]

It wasn’t my intent when I posted this, that it should turn into a political discussion.  Might be wise to skirt that.  I just thought it was of interest, considering the proximity to our members.

[Steve G.]

  Don’t apologize Ross.

  Facts  need to be realized.

[Galactica]

Not apologizing.  Just concerned that political rhetoric with a keyboard can so easily down unintended paths.  It’s too easy to use a wrong turn of phrase and too easy to misinterpret.

[Steve G.]

  I hear ya. All good.

Think we were just getting tired of the song of the day so switched gears and now doing politics and druggies.

Anyone know anything about oil?

[kilowop]

OIL?   Good in an engine. NOT good on the road surface, especially for Motorcycles.

[Steve G.]

  Oil thread??? Heck, we'll be fist fighting outside Timmies tomorrow!!

  Actually, I drink 2 ounces of oil every day. Trader Joe's first press olive oil.
