The Stolen Waters of British Columbia
I haven’t posted in over a month due to a perfect storm of computer problems and burn out from trying to keep up with the wide, wild world. It’s overwhelming. It’s incomprehensible. But I still believe that everything is connected and that it is incumbent upon those with non-stop curiosity to try to find the connections, if there are any, between events. One hears and sees all matters of opinions, but in the end the responsibility of choosing what seems the most believable is up to each individual person.
I had planned today to talk about the surprise attack on Israel and the ever alert war mongers in the US and UK or write about the still missing children of Maui, or about Trudeau’s relentless attacks on Alberta and Danielle Smith, or his seeming unabated desire to drastic lower people’s caloric intake by the murderous rise in the cost of groceries. Which leads me to just write about what is happening here. In British Columbia. And the thing burning in my skull at the moment is the BC government's cut-off of water to the forest farmers in Northern BC.
What do forest farmers grow? Blue Berries, raspberries, currents, nuts, mushrooms, honey, and medical herbs to name a few. What do these crops need? Water. Where do they get their water if the rain is sparse at harvest time? Usually from aquifers or from river water. But what is happening now is that the BC government has cut the farmers from water from any source, citing danger to the salmon but with out data to prove this. The authorities don’t off any proof or data they just appear with police officers and disconnect the water pumps. The farmers protest that the rivers are full and the fish are returning as they usually do and there is absolutely no reason for the water cut off. Please watch...
