| I download music. I also buy CDs and rip them to my drive. I even pay for some of my music downloads, by preference directly from the musician's site, not a 3rd party vendor. It is RIAA and it's Canadian baby bother that are behind laws like this. While those organizations may sound like a good idea... |

| Homelessness is a growing problem almost everywhere it seems. There are even homeless in smaller centres, like the Comox Valley and Campbell River, up island from Victoria. The provincial government does not seem to care, not even enough to start shipping them back east, where many came from. :) Vic... |

| It has been a while since I was to Victoria, but it was getting almost as bad as Granville Mall in Vancouver. I did almost loose it at one guy, panhandling perched below a help-wanted sign. |

| If you want to be homeless, Victoria is a nice place to be. But Vancouver is not shipping them over. Ferry fare is more than the Provincial government is willing to spend on the homeless issue. |

| Too bad the Buffalo is getting harder to maintain, the pilots who fly them over some of the most demanding terrain in Canada love them. No other plane proposed for Search and Rescue work in BC is as capable as the Buff. I worked with 442 Squadron in the past, and have listened to pilots talk about t... |
