Galaxy
Gardens protects itself --- to me this is the rational response of individuals
when ‘community’ fails – goes into decline
--- I will argue below that Rupert’s elites have done much the same |
|
Mike, a fellow that
has to use a cane to walk, told me he was recently knocked down by one of these
skate boarders --- passer-bys helped him & confiscated the skate
board |

Who does the
downtown vandalism? I heard one ‘committee’ struck to ‘solve’ the youth/
vandalism/ drugs question decided these were 3 separate issues – that the
‘Bar Crowd’ caused most these broken windows --- and that the bar owners were
‘not interested’ in meetings to discuss the issue with the committee --- More later |

Here
the outdoor gym being built – I will argue later the response to perceived
youth and vandalism problems by Civic Center has been to use $$ as a means of
excluding trouble makers (along with RCMP free use of facilities etc—see here and scroll down this page ) --- I hear that the ‘everyone
gets to play’ program is means tested (‘hey kid, prove to me you are poor’)–
or given as charity by RCMP, etc to deserving
youth --- I will try to follow up on this later |

I
see lots of school kids on field trips and ‘classes’ – presumably watching
the return of coho salmon – both out at the ‘hatchery’ and at the fish ladder

The
people who let their dog crap on downtown streets and walk away (note the
‘bylaw’ has no fines attached – part of the inertia of Howie regime after
Doug Jay released (fired)
I
thought maybe the parked car was an elderly person who had poor vision – but
I saw a 30ish fellow get out of the car --- which parks this way every day
---- the statement is that my car is more important than any pedestrian might
be |
Community

Canpotex –
the options |

I
will return to this later These
are the slides from Tuesday
night’s presentation --- In
2008 they were talking about doing both the Vancouver expansion and the
greenfield Ridley Island options More
later |

More later What
have these people got to Hide? I hear they will not even provide financial
statements etc to their own Council with Chief Administrative Officer Ron
Bedard suggesting the Council member file an FOI |
Who is the
Harbour Authority? – A private club? Funded by tax payers? |
|
Curiouser
and curiouser--- note Port Ed Mayor claimed at last weeks council meeting
that We (District of Port Ed? He himself?) ‘are at arm’s length of the
Harbour Authority’. See
PRDN story) I
have seen an unsigned copy of Harbour Authority ‘Articles ’ of Corporation in
where article 5.2 states: And
everyone subsequently will be appointed by District: 6.6 The directors
other than the first directors shall be nominated by the Council of the
District of Port Edward who
have become members in accordance with Part 5 Note
too I have it on good sources PR asked for 2 members to be appointed –
presumably representing local users --- that was months ago – And how much
money des this ‘private club get from DFO?? --- More later |
