To The Editor: Congratulations to Brittny Anderson on taking her hard-won seat in the Legislature. In your campaign, Brittny you expressed deep concern about BC’s environmental crises. Now in Victoria you will come up against challenges working with your party on these issues. We have a half-finished Clean BC climate plan. ...

Dear Editor. We fought global wars, and millions of people died to defend and protect our human rights, including our right to have democratic governments. Last week’s invasion of the Capital Hill in DC was nothing but a stunning attack on democracy, perpetrated by none other than the President of the United States. It was ...

To The Editor: Not quite a New Year’s resolution, but being old has allowed me to reflect on how unchanging technology used to be until it changed.  Now those changes are happening so frequently that we can be caught thinking we are up to date.  Recognizing your information might be old must be accompanied by a willingness ...

To The Editor: I have some concerns about the recent hype and media coverage from West Kootenay EcoSociety "100% Renewable Energy Plan", that is being brought by the NGO before a number of local municipalities for adoption. In the next decade the BC NDP Ministry of Forest plans to clear-cut and truck at least 100,000 loads ...

To The Editor. Somebody needs to explain just how (BC Premier John) Horgan possibly can justify taking our hard-earned tax dollars and give it to families with annual incomes up to 175,000 dollars, and individuals earning up to 67,500 dollars, insisting they desperately need ‘emergency funding’. There is no doubt a lot of...

To The Editor: A very big thank you and warm energetic support to the hardworking Postal Workers at the Vernon Street branch (in Nelson). The line goes down the block and the wait to mail out this morning was one hour, but luckily, I was dressed warmly and had brought a book with me. They were working efficiently and as quickly...

To The Editor: How to occupy your time during a shutdown is something with which we are all having to deal.  In this digital age it is so much easier to have access to and indeed create content  and have it posted on the internet.  As consumers it is important to be able to sort that content in to the good, bad and ugly. ...

To The Editor: The recent mail out by Kootenay-Columbia Conservative MP, Rob Morrison reeks of right wing short sighted rhetoric. Appointed to O’Toole’s “shadow cabinet” for National Security, Morrison’s long winded propaganda flyer nowhere mentions the effects of environmental degradation on Canada’s national security....

To The Editor: Top international lawyers to draft definition of "Ecocide" 75 years after Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide coined at Nuremberg. It’s an extraordinary moment to be launching this project as the first international trials are remembered at Nuremberg. 75 years on, humanity faces a new and global threat: climate...
