The Changes

Here's a two minute video that really gives the flavour of it!
"Walking to Victoria for Wild Salmon - May 8!": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbE_tJ2hRus

Salmon supporters, near and far,

There is some big news to report! No guarantees, of course, but there seems to be an awful lot of attention and action promoting wild salmon, and growing awareness of the manifold damage and destruction wreaked by open pen salmon farms, in BC and worldwide.

Attend the gathering on Feb. 2, 2009, at St. Andrew Wesley Church, Burrard and Nelson, at 7:00 pm, and sign on to the Charter for Health Freedom to support the movement to stop Bill C51 which gives Health Canada extensive and invasive rights.

For the sum of $2,800 and loud vocal support of Plan A and Abbotsford City Hall I see that Spirit of BC stands to gain $20,000 from Abbotsford City Hall.

Penticton $9.7 million provincial grant secured BEFORE project presented to public; Langley $15 million provincial grant secured BEFORE project presented to public, project modified to maximize grant; Abbotsford $0.00 provincial grant secured BEFORE project presented to public.

 In the Friday Abbotsford Times much gnashing of teeth and cries of “we was robbed” by Abbotsford City Hall. Common sense dictates, for those possessing common sense (which evidence suggests is nonexistent at Abbotsford City Hall) that your maximum leverage on a senior level of government for grants is before you fund the project when they (province; federal) can be blamed for the project not proceeding. This was the case in the recent extortion of $2 million each from both the federal and provincial governments for Stanley Park restoration making Vancouver’s contribution $ZERO$.

 When asked during the referendum campaign why they had not and if they should not have gotten grants BEFORE coming to the taxpayers for approval, as any rational, fiscally responsible City (i.e. Langley, Penticton) would do, Abbotsford City Hall blew off those posing the questions as “naysayers” and “negative people”.

I found myself in an interesting dream this morning and how it carried itself into the waking state. There was a conversation of sorts with others that had them quite intrigued with the ideals I present. I am unaware of the first key individual I met who carried some importance, but then suddenly my dream found me vacationing or visiting back east.

As I was venturing through the supermarket, looking at whatever and tending to errands with another, I met a local news personality from here on the west coast, Bill Parsons. I nodded and he smiled, and as I turned away he said, "Go ahead, give me your card. I understand you're a rather interesting fellow."
