"Former President Trump can still run for the White House despite facing a potentially prison sentence after he was found guilty in the NY v. Trump case." Bad idea, he might sell nuke codes for cigarettes or prime TeeOff time.

IMHO, the term "British Columbians" includes every single person who lives in our province regardless of any background, race, religion or any of the other catergories that people seem to want to put themselves in. nationalpost.com/news/canada…

Just want to say thank you to everyone who has donated through GoFundMe and privately this past week. So far we have raised a total of $2615.00 bit.ly/3sJVIEn This has given us some breathing space, while we figure out what our next steps will be.

#Facebook has allowed BULLIES to bulldoze over people. I have been repeatedly accused of posting SPAM when I have simply been trying to help people. A person does not appreciate that I have been helping people for decades so they report and report me, to the point where I quit!

I am deeply saddened to hear this, although expected. It is a huge loss!

The Beatles had their seventh US No. 1 album when β€œRubber Soul” hit No. 1 on the US albums charts, February 26, 1966. Favorite song?

How can this government run out of things to do, debate, when the crime rate, homelessness, people dying on the streets is rampant?

Whatever happened? At the Regular Council Meeting held April 23, 2018, the Plan received 1st and 2nd reading. The Plan received 3rd reading at the Public Hearing held June 7, 2018. The Plan was adopted at the Regular Council meeting held June 18, 2018. bit.ly/2LdT7Y8

The location of the depot is not as significant as the stops along the way. When the depot was on Prideaux, it was not within easy walking to MOST of downtown, however the stops tended to be usable. I think the current spot BOUGHT specifically for a transit depot is the best.

Many communities can learn more from the economic development team in Chilliwack. For over 40 years, they have led a great effort in economic development. #Nanaimo, are you listening?
So Red Bull has picked Chilliwack as the home for its new plant. The city's economic development arm is *stoked.* But this deal is extremely interesting in terms of BC's Agricultural Land Reserve, since this is ALR land & Red Bull, ummmmm, isn't exactly brewing with barley.

As a recent patient at Nanaimo emergency, most people I saw were there for immediate medical needs, not for ongoing issues. One man waited hours with major burns to his arm. When he needed more ice, he was told where to go to get it. :O

It is quite common for companies, both private & public, that employees do not speak out regarding their employer or work related issues via social media or any other form of media, unless designated to.
Maybe it’s time to dismantle the PHSA? Are there physicians in BC that have something good to say about these bureaucrats? How about the Hospital Foundations? I’ve seen some toxic PHSA situations in media + fundraising, everyone fears the PHSA. #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2023/02/06/B…
