The only ones willing to work for shit wages.

So, as I see it, the real problem here is poor pay. This not only encourages working extended hours, but attracts the lowest quality candidates. Pay peanuts and all you get are monkeys. Interesting aside. Since I have never driven in any province besides BC, I don't know the rules, but here...

Way back, 60s or even earlier, there was a certain logic in buying cheap fuel from Third World countries. Mostly, the idea was to use up their resources first, and save ours for the future. Remember in the early 70s the anti everything crowd predicted peak oil around 1977. That one didn't work...

That is because the picture isn't of the people causing the problem.

The trouble with history is that is largely written by the winners. And is actually 2 words. His Story.

I made 3 trips so far this year. One was day trip for us. Other 2 were work. Took a bin out in April.7.5 hours round trip from Qualicum. Hit the rip roaring speed of 40 k a couple of times. 3 weeks later went to pick the bin up and it was only 6 hrs including a stop at Pt Alberni dump which took...

Inflation is about three times the official number. They neglect to factor in things like gas, which has basically doubled in a little over a year.

BC dippers are about to anoint a new leader as well. Horgannis Horibilis has decided there is nothing left to fuck up , so he is stepping down.

Is that lawyer talk for "I can't get laid"?

So far I am leaning towards none of the above for leader. Mostly because all of them come from back east and history has shown us that leaders from Ontariowe or Quebec are terrified of the west getting ahead. Still have about 2 months to decide.

Up until 2 years ago Victoria dumped all their sewage into the ocean. Every logging camp on the coast was forced to have better sewage treatment than the Capital for the last two decades.

Quebec still dumps sewage into the river.

Bob Dylan, or Dylan Thomas?

Hasn't worked with the most basic of automotive products yet. Can't get a battery to fit two vehicles from the same manufacturer sometimes. Light bulbs are another one. Oil and filters are the worst. FIlters are the first thing I am going to fix when I become Emperor. There will be three sizes...

That is not news. Everyone knows it.

You gotta quit watching CBC . If what you claim was even remotely true, there would be at least 4 pipelines to the west coast. We would still be permitted to log old growth in BC.

Now look at what happened to government payrolls. They have increased exponentially in both size and dollars. While the rest of us have been losing ground in real dollars. Dr. Tam just got a raise equivalent to 2 years worth of CPP that the rest of us are expected to live on. Ain't socialism grand?

That was also proposed for electric cars. Run up on the hoist and change batteries. 15 minutes tops. The guy that hallucinated that one never thought about how many thousands of different batteries each service station would have to inventory, or the amount of power required to charge multiple...

The road to Bamfield is being paved right now. More like sealcoating, but will allow bad drivers to go off the corners at a much higher rate of speed.

Tofino went to shit when the park was made. Prior to the park, the locals had races on the sand dunes.
