One has to question why the BCNDP (of all parties) is frantically trying to kill or adapt DRIPA vs all the various mining and O&G acts that actively violate - and why that wasn't done BEFORE DRIPA was enacted - it's an own goal which the courts will uphold, utterly stupid politics

Can America not do plumbing anymore? The toilets don't work on either their state-of-the-art warship the USS Ford or the Artemis spacecraft

Remember when Marcel Duchamp said "The only works of art America has given are her plumbing and her bridges"?

BC NDP closing the Climate Secretariat is beyond warped - sending at least 10 of the staff to work on LNG projects

Cutting seasonal lifeguards on beaches will save up to $600K, Vancouver Park Board says The Vancouver Park Board has confirmed to CTV News that it will save an estimated $400,000 to $600,000 by reducing seasonal, auxiliary lifeguards at five outdoor beaches this summer.

This is all warped fiscal conservative thinking, like cutting Coast Guard stations will save money - it won't

These councillors and gov staff recommending cuts to first responders hate anything to do with public safety

It just downloads response to other services
