Cathedral Grove is supposed to be a Class A park
Dear Editor, What is the purpose of a Class A Provincial Park like Cathedral Grove (MacMillan Park)? Is it to turn trees into tall lifeless poles? According to BCParks in a Class A park: "no natural resource may be granted, sold, removed, destroyed, damaged, disturbed or exploited unless authorized by a valid park use permit.” I've counted at least a dozen of these zombie trees inside the park boundaries.

Good article here on the latest about the #hantavirus sicknesses on the cruise ship near Cape Verde.
"Those most at risk are likely to be the ship’s other passengers. For now, the plan is for the Hondius to continue to the Canary Islands, Van Kerkhove says, where Spain will conduct a thorough epidemiological investigation and disinfect the ship.
All the researchers involved stress the challenge of investigating an outbreak on a ship in international waters with so many countries involved. “I think the response has been a wonderful global collaborative effort,” Blumberg says. “It shows the value of networks and people speaking to each other.””

Serious question.
At what point do the leaders of the world coordinate a joint statement to tell Donald Trump to calm the F down?
Because really, this rhetoric is way way out of hand.
Even Putin, whoever Iran's current leader is, Kim Jong Il, Bibi, all seem more rational than the current inhabitant of the White House. I don't believe any of them would use nuclear weapons first.
I am no longer sure that Trump will resist, certainly not Hegseth.

Dear Prime Minister,

Canada should call in the USA Ambassador, close our airspace to USA forces on Iran-related flights, and denounce in public this clearly criminal and suicidal rhetoric.

In Canada, passengers are the regulators because Government is bought by lobbyists.
“In the absence of stronger regulation, Lukšcs says passengers who are told their flights are cancelled due to a maintenance issue should press airlines for specifics — outlined on his website — including which aircraft was originally assigned, whether it was swapped and when any mechanical issues were identified and fixed.
Because, he says, there's a fundamental issue at play.
