This is phase four or our critique of BC’s preparedness and political position on climate change and its many implied events. I posit a few more critical points (and points of criticism) of our local government’s “Plan” for action (the BCCCP), or the BC Climate Change Plan (an extension of the BC Energy Plan). So [...]

When you get your first week of September out of the way we’ve got something snazzy for ya — from Thur. Sept 6 to Saturday, Sep. 8. It’s totally FREE, local, and, you won’t believe how excessive. Why, you ask. Think of it as a gesture to appreciate one last weekend of inspiration before the [...]

This is part three of a review of the BCCCP, the BC Climate Change Plan (an extension of the BC Energy Plan). You may want to review the previous three articles — starting with the Ice Cap article — to figure out what we’re talking about here. So, to continue, here are more rants on [...]

This is part 2 of the Previous article Titled: “Climate Crisis: What’s Vancouver Up To Now in Its “Official” Climate Change Propaganda“.

Could you be impressed by the most important photograph of this month? I read an interesting article at Checkerspot magazine a few days ago. It was about climate change and the breaking of some pretty hefty north-pole ice-caps. And I thought, hmmm, what’s it got to do with Vancouver, and then I figured: Well, we [...]

I really like the fact that the image of golf as an elitist, exclusionist sport reserved for the privileged has gone by the wayside, thanks in part to Tiger Woods and John Daly. Green Fees in Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland are as low as $25-30 making a round of golf fairly [...]
